reduced speed, as well as on car park ramps.
Normal position
If the speed authorised for a particular position
is exceeded, the vehicle reverts automatically
to the normal position.

Request not granted
The instrument panel screen temporarily displays a
message indicating that this position is not authorised.
The vehicle remains in the authorised position and the
instrument panel screen indicates this position to you.
Automatic variation of ground clearance
- If your speed exceeds 70 mph (approx.
110 km/h), on a good road surface, ground
clearance is lowered. The vehicle returns
to its normal position if the road surface
deteriorates or if your speed is lower than
55 mph (approx. 90 km/h).
- At low or medium speed, if the road surface
is poor, ground clearance is increased. The
vehicle returns to its normal position as
soon as conditions allow.
- On switching off the ignition, the ground
clearance is reduced to the parking position
For your safety if you are operating
underneath the vehicle, you must
support the vehicle with axle stands.
