Maintenance and Technical Data
Fuel Filler Bowl
During fuel filling check that the fuel filler bowl drain pipe is free
from debris which may block the pipe. If the pipe is blocked,
water can not drain from the bowl and can overflow into the fuel
tank.
Engine Oil Level
Caution: It is important to check the engine oil level
regularly. Running the engine with engine oil below the lower
mark or above the upper mark can cause serious engine
damage.
Check the engine oil level every fourth fuel tank fill or weekly -
which ever is the sooner.
Suspension Sweep
Caution: Activating the suspension sweep function will
perform a complete sweep of all the ride height actuators on
this vehicle which will cause the ride height of the vehicle to
fluctuate. Before a suspension sweep is initialised, make sure
that there are no objects beneath the vehicle, as this can
damage the vehicle as the suspension is cycled.
If the vehicle is not regularly used, the system must be cycled
monthly for the active suspension systems to operate in the best
condition. To perform a suspension sweep, the vehicle must be
started, and the Suspension Sweep function initiated in the
Settings menu in the infotainment system (Refer to ’Settings
Menu’, page 4.14). This will cycle the suspension actuators to
lubricate the seals and prevent them from drying out.
For a suspension sweep to be started, the below conditions must
be met.
• Hydraulic supply must be available.
• The vehicle must be stationary.
• The transmission must be in N (neutral).
If any of the above conditions change or the suspension sweep is
turned off manually, the suspension sweep function will be
deactivated.
Whilst the suspension system cycles, this allows for the HV
battery to be charged to prevent it from draining over time. If
charging the battery as well, the vehicle should be run for a
minimum of 15 minutes.
