Signalling
Sport mode, more suited for a sporty style of driving
Note: Sport mode is retained when you switch off the engine.
Note: If the speed authorised for a particular position is exceeded, the vehicle reverts automatically to the normal road position.
Note: Automatic variation of ground clearance
If your speed exceeds 1 1 0 k m / h ( a p p r o x . 7 0 m p h ) , on a good road surface, ground clearance is lowered. The vehicle returns to its normal position if the road surface deteriorates or if your s p e e d i s l o w e r t h a n 9 0 k m / h (approx. 55 mph)
At low or medium speed, if the road surface is poor, ground clearance is increased. The vehicle returns to its normal position as soon as conditions allow.
