Suspension and leveling control
*
The leveling control system adjusts the suspen-
sion and shock absorbers automatically to help
provide good comfort and control while driving.
Leveling can also be controlled manually to
make loading or getting in and out of the vehicle
easier.
Pneumatic suspension and shock
absorbers
This system is linked to the selected drive mode
and is adapted to the vehicle's speed. The pneu-
matic suspension reduces the vehicle's ground
clearance at higher speeds to reduce wind resis-
tance and increase stability. The shock absorbers
are normally set to provide the best possible
comfort and are adjusted continuously according
to the road surface, acceleration, braking and
cornering.
A message will be displayed in the instrument
panel when the suspension level is being
adjusted.
The level cannot be adjusted if one of the side
doors or the hood is open.

Easy entry
The vehicle can be lowered to entering and exit-
ing easier.

Control
via the center display's Top view to lower
the vehicle when getting in or out.
When the vehicle is parked and the engine is
turned off, the level is lowered (if a side door is
opened, the level adjustment will stop). When the
engine is started and the vehicle begins to move,
the level will be raised to the height set by the
selected drive mode.
Turning off suspension and leveling control
In certain situations, this function has to be
turned off, for example when lifting the vehicle on
a jack or garage hoist.

Loading mode
Use the buttons in the cargo compartment to
raise or lower the vehicle to make loading or
unloading easier or when attaching a trailer.
Parking the vehicle
When parking, be sure that there is adequate
space above and below the vehicle since its
ground clearance may vary, e.g., depending on
the ambient temperature, how the vehicle is loa-
ded, if loading mode is being used or the drive
mode selected after the engine is started.
The level may also be adjusted for a certain time
after the vehicle has been parked to compensate
for possible height adjustments due to tempera-
ture changes in the pneumatic suspension when
the vehicle has cooled.
Transport
When transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train or
a tow truck, it may only be secured (lashed)
around the tires, not using any other chassis
components. Changes in the pneumatic suspen-
sion may occur during transport that could nega-
tively affect the lashing and result in damage.
