AUTOMATIC CORRECTION OF GROUND CLEARANCE
Your vehicle has active suspension with variable damping which is electronically controlled. This automatically regu-lates the ground clearance according to the vehicle speed and the road surface conditions.
Limits on access to the posi-tions
Maximum height:
I m p o s s i b l e i f s p e e d > 1 0 k m / h ( 6 m p h ) .
Intermediate position:
I m p o s s i b l e i f s p e e d > 4 0 k m / h ( 2 4 m p h ) .
Normal road position: Always permitted.
Minimum height:
I m p o s s i b l e i f s p e e d > 1 0 k m / h ( 6 m p h ) .Note: If the speed authorised for a particular position is exceeded, the vehicle reverts automatically to the normal road position.
Signalling of a requested position not authorised
On the display:
The display indicates for a short time, via a message or by hatching on the requested position, that the adjustment is impossible.
The vehicle remains in the position that is authorised and the display c o n fi r m s t h i s p o s i t i o n .
Automatic variation of ground clearanceIf your speed Ifexceeds110 km / h (68 mph), on a good road, the ground clearance is lowered.
The vehicle reverts to the normal road position if the road deteri-orates or if your speed comes b e l o w 9 0 k m / h ( 5 6 m p h ) .When the vehicle is stationary the ground clearance is low-ered to the parking position.

Before positioning the jack, always adjust the vehicle's ground clearance to the “maximum height” position and reta in this adjustment for as long as the jack is under the vehicle (do not use the hydraulic adjustments).
Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by the jack.
