Front Lift
WARNING
Before using front lift, make sure the
area around your vehicle is free from
obstruction. Failure to follow this
instruction could result in personal injury
or death.
Your vehicle has a front lift system to
provide additional front end clearance
when approaching a speed bump,
driveway ramp or another similar surface
where front end clearance could be a
concern.
E229612
The front lift button is located on the
center console. Press the button to lift the
front end of your vehicle. Press the button
again to return to normal ride height. A
warning indicator illuminates in the display
screen when the system is on. When you
shut the engine off, the car returns to
normal ride height. Remember to use the
front lift again when needed, for example
when backing out of a driveway.
Note: The front lift feature only operates if
your vehicle is traveling under 25 mph
(40 km/h). If your vehicle exceeds this
speed, the system automatically returns
your vehicle to normal ride height.
Note: The front lift feature does not
function when in Track (T) or V-Max (V)
drive modes.
Damper Comfort Mode
E229613
You can change the feel of the suspension
by pressing the damper comfort button on
the center console. An indicator illuminates
in the display screen when the system is
active. The comfort mode operates at
speeds up to 85 mph (137 km/h).
Pressing the damper comfort button
softens the suspension. Pressing the
button again returns the suspension to the
normal setting.
Note: The comfort mode selection does
not function when in Sport (S), Track (T)
or V-Max (V) drive modes.
Active Aerodynamics
The rear wing is a tri-state device designed
to operate automatically in either a
low-drag (down), high downforce (up) or
airbrake mode depending on the vehicle
demands.
The rear wing works in harmony with the
bi-state front splitter. The front splitter has
a raised leading edge so that the surfaces
underneath and immediately downstream
of it create a Venturi effect and lower the
air pressure creating downforce on the
front wheels. In normal (low-drag)
operation, the Venturi effect draws air
through ducts that connect the upper
surface of the splitter just below the
radiator intake. This reduces drag and
eliminates unnecessary front downforce.
When the rear wing moves out of the
low-drag position, and to compensate for
