You can choose between normal or raised
level.
The vehicle chassis ride height is raised or
lowered according to the selected level
setting and to the vehicle speed. At a speed
exceeding approximately 68 mph

that you may not notice any change.
Select the raised level only when required by
current driving conditions. Otherwise, the
handling may be impaired and the fuel
consumption may increase. 138

their seat belts or not wearing them properly
may be thrown out of the opening. Such an
opening also presents a potential for injury for
occupants wearing their seat belts properly as
entire body parts or portions of them may
protrude from the passenger compartment.
! To avoid damaging the seals, do not
transport any objects with sharp edges
which can stick out of the tilt/sliding
sunroof. Do not open the tilt/sliding sunroof if there
is snow or ice on the roof, as this could
result in malfunctions.
