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.
The instrument panel will indicate when the sus-
pension level is being adjusted.
The level cannot be adjusted if one of the side
doors or the hood is open.

Easy Entry/Exit Control.
> When the vehicle is parked and the
engine is turned off, the level is lowered.
Level adjustment will stop if a side door is
opened and will resume after a slight
delay when the door has been closed.
When the engine is started and the vehi-
cle begins to move, the level will be raised
to the height set by the selected drive
mode.
If a door has been opened and closed, there may
be a slight delay before the leveling function will
resume.
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 to help avoid problems created by the dif-
ference in levels in the pneumatic suspension
when the vehicle is raised.

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.
