only be selected when the en-
gine is running. In certain cir-
cumstances, the automatic

selected setting, for instance to
lower the suspension at high
speeds. However, the automatic
mode will not intervene if the
low suspension setting has been
selected manually.
Take care when parking: the
vehicle height is automatically
adjusted according to variations
in temperature and loading.
