Vehicle level
Your vehicle automatically adjusts its
height to reduce fuel consumption and im-
prove road safety.
According to the vehicle height set, the ve-
hicle automatically adjusts its height de-
pending on the current speed. As the
speed increases, the vehicle lowers by up
to 15 mm. As the speed decreases, it rises
to the set height.
Setting the vehicle level manually
Select the “Normal” setting for normal
road conditions and “Raised” when using
snow chains or in very poor surface condi-
tions.
