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.

Before positioning the jack :Always adjust the vehicle’s ground clearance to the “maximum height” position and retain this adjustment for as long as the jack is under the vehi-cle (do not use the hydraulic adjustments).Immobilise your vehicle on horizontal, stable and non-slippery ground.
Ensure that any passengers have left the vehicle and are in a safe place.
Never get underneath the vehi-cle if it is supported only by the jack.
The jack and all of the tools are specific to your vehicle. Do not use them for any other applications.
Have the original wheel repaired a n d r e fi t t e d a s s o o n a s p o s s i -ble.
