place respect for speed limits or vigi-
lance and responsibility on the part
of the driver.

The instrument panel screen tempo-
rarily 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 clear-
ance
-
If your speed exceeds 70 mph (ap-
prox. 110 km/h), on a good road sur-
face, ground clearance is lowered.
The vehicle returns to its normal
position if the road surface deterio-
rates or if your speed is lower than
55 mph (approx. 90 km/h).

road surface is poor, ground
clearance is increased. The ve-
hicle returns to its normal posi-
tion 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.

lar position is exceeded, the vehicle
reverts automatically to the normal
