1Vehicle level switch
2Indicator lampThe following vehicle chassis ride heights
can be selected using the vehicle level
switch in the center console:
The following is the approximate change in
ride height as compared to the highway
level for each of the level settings:
iThe vehicle is automatically lowered to
the high-speed level when the vehicle
exceeds a certain speed threshold and
is automatically raised to the highway
level when vehicle speed drops below a
certain speed threshold. Note the ex-
ception in the ADS SPORT mode, where
the system disregards the highway lev-
el and automatically lowers the vehicle
to the high-speed level.
In comparison to vehicle behavior
when in the ADS AUTO mode,

the vehicle is lowered to the
high-speed level when set to the
SPORT mode,


and remains at the highway level
over a greater speed range when
set to the COMFORT mode.
