Setting the vehicle level
General notes
The vehicle level can be set using the
DYNAMIC SELECT button (Y page 132) or the
level button. The setting always corresponds
to the last selected function.
In order to reduce fuel consumption and
improve the driving dynamics, the vehicle is
lowered as its speed increases. In the Sport
and Sport Plus drive programs, it is lowered
by up to 0.5 in (13 mm) compared to the nor-
mal vehicle level. In the Comfort and CURVE
drive programs, it is lowered by up to 0.2 in
(5 mm) compared to the normal vehicle level.
As the speed is reduced, the vehicle is raised
up to the set vehicle height.
Select the normal level for normal road surfa-
ces and the raised level for driving with snow
chains or on particularly poor road surfaces.
