Starting and Driving
The system requires that the engine
be running for all changes. When
lowering the vehicle, all of the doors,
including the liftgate, must be closed.
If a door is opened at any time while
the vehicle is lowering, the change
will not be completed until the open
door/s is/are closed.
The pneumatic suspension system of
this vehicle uses a lifting and lowering
pattern preventing the headlights
from incorrectly shining into oncoming
traffic.
When raising the vehicle, the rear of
the vehicle will move up first and then
the front.
When lowering the vehicle, the front
will move down first and then the
rear. After the engine is turned off,
it may be noticed that the pneumatic
suspension system operates briefly,
this is normal. The system is correcting
the position of the vehicle with little
suspension movements to ensure a
proper appearance.
Display Messages
After shifting selector to change
position, a pop up message will
indicate for 5 seconds when set
position has been reached (after
pneumatic suspension system
intervention that might last up to 30
seconds).
This type of message will be
displayed only if the option to view
all pneumatic suspension system
messages and not only the warnings
was set. For further details, refer to

be monitored on instrument panel
display via “Drive mode” menu, using
buttons on the right-hand side of the
