Impossible if speed > 10 km/h (6 mph).
Intermediate position:
Impossible if speed > 40 km/h (24 mph).
Normal road position: Alwayspermitted.
Minimum height:
Impossible if speed > 10 km/h (6 mph).Note:If the speed authorised for
a particular position is exceeded,the vehicle reverts automatically tothe normal road position.

The display indicates for a short
time, via a message or by hatching on the requested position, that the
adjustment is impossible.
The vehicle remains in the position
that is authorised and the display
confi rms this position.

110 km/h (68 mph), on a good road, the ground clearance is lowered.The vehicle reverts to the normal road position if the
