General notes
In order to reduce fuel consumption and
improve the driving dynamics, the vehicle is
lowered as its speed increases. In the SPORT
suspension setting, it is lowered by up to
13 mm, with COMFORT by up to 5 mm. As the
speed is reduced, the vehicle is raised to the
set vehicle height.
Select the "Normal" setting for normal road
surfaces and "Raised" for driving with snow
chains or on particularly poor road surfaces.
Important safety notes
The vehicle is slightly lowered when the
engine is switched off.

WARNING
People's limbs may become trapped if they
are located underneath the vehicle or
between the vehicle body and the tyres when
the vehicle is lowering. There is a danger of
injury.

by approximately 10 mm. Make sure when
parking that you position your vehicle so
