Starting and Driving
NOTE:
The indications below explain as a
general rule which selector position has
to be used in certain situations and
which are the speed thresholds at
which it is possible to set the available
ride height. In any case, the driver must
always assess and set the ride height
and drive mode most suitable to the
conditions of the current driving path on
a case by case basis.
• Normal: normal ground clearance.
This is the standard height position of
the pneumatic suspension and is meant
for normal road conditions.
• Off Road 1: raises the vehicle by
5
approx. 0.8 in (20 mm).
This is the height suitable for most
off road driving conditions until the
other off road option is needed. Select
this height while the vehicle speed is
below 43.5 mph (70 km/h). When in
the "Off Road 1" height, if the vehicle
speed remains between 43.5 mph (70
km/h) and 50 mph (80 km/h) for over
30 seconds or if vehicle speed exceeds
50 mph (80 km/h), the vehicle will be
automatically lowered to "NORMAL"
height. For further details, refer to "Off-
road Drive" in this section.
• Off Road 2: raises the vehicle by
approx. 1.5 in (40 mm).
168
This height is intended for off-road use
only where maximum ground clearance
is required. Select this height while
the vehicle speed is below 22 mph
(35 km/h). When in the "Off Road 2"
height, if the vehicle speed remains
between 22 mph (35 km/h) and 25
mph (40 km/h) for over 30 seconds or
if vehicle speed exceeds 25 mph (40
km/h), the vehicle will be automatically
lowered to "Off Road 1" height. For
further details, refer to "Off-road drive"
in this section.
• Aero 1: lowers the vehicle by approx.
0.6 in (15 mm).
This height provides improved
aerodynamics by lowering the vehicle.
System automatically lowers the
vehicle when speed remains between
56mph (90 km/h) and 62 mph (100
km/h) for over 15 seconds or if the
vehicle speed exceeds 62 mph (100
km/h). The system will return to
"NORMAL" height when the vehicle
speed remains between 50 mph (80
km/h) and 43.5 mph (70 km/h) for over
15 seconds or if the vehicle speed falls
below 43.5 mph (70 km/h).
• Aero 2: lowers the vehicle by approx.
1.2 in (30 mm).
It is the height ensuring excellent
aerodynamics for top performance
further lowering the vehicle. This ride
height is always grayed out in the
suspension menu on the Comfort
display. System automatically lowers
the vehicle when speed exceeds 120
mph (195 km/h) or when it remains
between 110 mph (180 km/h) and 120
mph (195 km/h) for over 15 seconds.
The system will return to Aero 1 height
when the vehicle speed remains
between 96 mph (155 km/h) and 87
mph (140 km/h) for over 15 seconds or
if the vehicle speed falls below 87 mph
(140 km/h).
• Easy/Entry: lowers the vehicle by
approx. 1.4 in (35 mm).
This mode lowers the vehicle for easier
passenger entry and exit as well as
lowering the rear of the vehicle for
easier loading and unloading of cargo
from the trunk compartment. This ride
height is not selectable from the menu
on the Comfort display. Automatic
lowering of the vehicle into "Entry/Exit"
mode can be enabled through the
MIA (refer to "Functions of Settings
Menu on MIA" in section "Dashboard
Instruments and Controls"). If this
function is enabled, the vehicle will
only lower if the transmission is in P
(Park) mode, the engine is running,
doors and liftgate are closed and the
pneumatic suspension system should
be either in "NORMAL" or "Aero". The
Vehicle will not automatically lower if
the pneumatic suspension system is in
