Normal mode, for maximum comfort
A message is displayed on the instrument panel.
“Hydractive III +” suspension auto-matically adjusts to road surface conditions and driving style.
It allows you to alternate between s o f t a n d fi r m s u s p e n s i o n s e t t i n g s , maximising comfort at the same time as permanently guaranteeing the highest level of safety. It also automatically corrects road hold-ing, according to the vehicle load and driving conditions.
Also, the “Hydractive III +” suspen-sion gives you the possibility of choosing between two modes of suspension.
A change of suspension mode can be made either when the vehicle is moving or when stationary, by pressing on button A.
Signalling
Sport mode, more suited for a sporty style of driving
A message is displayed on the instrument panel and the warning lamp on button A comes on.
Note: Sport mode is retained when you switch off the engine.
Note: If the speed authorised for a particular position is exceeded, the vehi-cle reverts automatically to the normal road position.
Note: Automatic variation of ground clearanceIf your speed exceeds 110 km/h (approx. 70 mph), on a good road surface, ground clearance is lowered. The vehicle returns to its normal position if the road sur-face deteriorates or if your speed is lower than 90 km/h (approx. 55 mph).
At low or medium speed, if the road surface is deteriorated, ground clearance is increased. The vehi-cle returns to its normal position once one of these two conditions is no longer observed.
