AUTOMATIC CORRECTION OF GROUND CLEARANCE
Your vehicle has active suspension with variable damping which is electronically controlled. This automatically regulates the ground clearance according to the vehicle speed and the road surface conditions.
Limits on access to the positions
Maximum height:
Impossible if speed > 10 km/h (6 mph).
Intermediate position:
Impossible if speed > 40 km/h (24 mph).
Normal road position: Always permitted.
Minimum height:
Impossible if speed > 10 km/h (6 mph).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 exceeds110 km/h (68 mph), on a good road, the ground clearance is lowered.The vehicle reverts to the normal road position if the road deteriorates or if your speed comes below 90 km/h (56 mph).
When the vehicle is stationary the ground clearance is lowered to the parking position.
