GROUND CLEARANCE ADJUSTMENT
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: Alwayspermitted.
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 tothe normal road position.
Signalling of a requestedposition 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
confi rms this position.
Automatic variation of groundclearanceIf your speed exceeds
110 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.

Before positioning the jack, always adjust the vehicle's groundclearance to the "maximum height" position and retain thisadjustment for as long as the jack is under the vehicle (do notuse the hydraulic adjustments).
Never get underneath the vehicle if it is supported only by thejack.
The jack and all the tools are designed specifi cally for use on your particular vehicle. Do not use them for any other applications.
Have the original wheel repaired and refitted as soon aspossible.
It is imperative not to exceed a speed of 80 km/h (50 mph) onthe spare wheel.
REMOVAL1. Park the vehicle on stable, fi rm ground that is not slippery. Apply the
parking brake.2. It is essential to make sure that the occupants have left the vehicle and are in a place where their safety is guaranteed.3. With the engine idling, adjust the ground clearance to maximum height. See "Comfort" and "Ground clearance adjustment". Switch off the igni-
tion and engage fi rst gear or reverse gear depending on any slope (for a vehicle with automatic gearbox, select position P).4. Position the chock at the wheel that is diametrically opposite the one to
be replaced.
5. Position the jack at one of the four jacking-points provided on the sub-
frame close to the wheels, then use the handle to unwind the jack until
it reaches the ground.
6. Slide the removal tool4 into the notch and lever vigorously to detach
the anti-theft bolt protector. See illustration. You can use the handle at
the extremit
y of the tool 4.7.Slacken the wheel bolts.8. Continue to extend the jack until the wheel is a few centimetres off the ground.9. Undo the bolts, remove the wheel.
