STARTING AND DRIVING
* Option/accessory.
450 Leveling control* and suspension
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts the
suspension and shock absorbers automatically
to help provide good comfort and control while
driving. Leveling can also be controlled manually
to facilitate loading or getting in and out of the
vehicle.
Pneumatic suspension and shock
absorbers
The system is adapted to the selected drive
mode and vehicle speed. The pneumatic suspen-
sion reduces the vehicle's ground clearance at
higher speeds to reduce air resistance and
increase stability. The shock absorbers are nor-
mally set to provide the best possible comfort and are adjusted continuously according to the
road surface and the vehicle's acceleration, brak-
ing and cornering.
The instrument panel indicates
when the suspension level is
being adjusted. The level cannot be adjusted when any of the
side doors or the tailgate is open.
ParkingWhen parking, make sure that there is adequate
space above and below the vehicle since ground
clearance may vary depending on e.g. ambient
temperature, how the vehicle is loaded, if loading
mode is used, which drive mode is selected after
the engine is started, etc.
The level may also be adjusted a period after the
vehicle is parked. This is to compensate for any
height changes that may occur due to tempera-
ture changes in the air springs when the vehicle
cools.
TransportingWhen transporting the vehicle on a ferry, train or
truck, only secure (lash) the vehicle around the
tires, not using any other parts of the chassis.
Changes in the pneumatic suspension may occur
during transport, which could adversely affect the
lashing and result in damage.

WARNING•
Only use accessories that are not dam-
aged or malfunctioning. The accessories
must be designed for 120 V and 60 Hz,
with plugs intended for the outlet. The
accessories must be CE marked, UL
marked or have an equivalent safety
marking.
• New let outlets, plugs or accessories
come into contact with water or another
fluid. Do not touch or use the outlet if it
appears damaged or has been in contact
with water or another fluid.
• Do not connect power strips, adapters or
extension cords to the outlet has this
could cause the outlet's safety functions
to malfunction.
• The outlet is equipped with a pet guard.
Make sure that no one picks at or dam-
ages the outlet in such a way that the
guard is disabled. Children should not be
left unsupervised in the vehicle when the
outlet is active.
Failure to follow the above could lead to
severe or fatal electrical shocks.

• Electrical outlets (p. 582)
• Passenger compartment interior (p. 580) Using the glove compartment
The glove compartment is located on the pas-
senger side. The glove compartment can be
used to store the Owner's Manual, maps, etc.
There is also room for a pen and a card holder. Glove compartment and opening button on the center
console.
The glove compartment is opened by pressing
the opening button in the center console.
Locking and unlocking the glove box
The glove compartment can be locked ("private
locking") when the vehicle is left at a workshop,
hotel, etc. When private locking is activated, the
tailgate is also locked.
Using the glove box as a cooled area
The glove compartment can be used to cool e.g.
drinks or food. Cooling is possible when the cli-
mate system is active (i.e. when the ignition is in
mode II or when the engine is running). The illustration is generic – the design may vary.
Activate cooling
Deactivate cooling
– Activate or deactivate cooling by moving the
control as far as possible toward the passen-
ger compartment/glove compartment.

LOADING, STORAGE AND PASSENGER COMPARTMENT
* Option/accessory.587
WARNINGIn a head-on collision at a speed of 50 km/h
(30 mph), an unsecured object weighing 20
kg (44 pounds) can reach a projectile weight
equivalent to 1000 kg (2200 pounds).
WARNING
If objects are loaded higher than the upper
edge of the side windows, leave a 10 cm (4
in.) space between the objects and the win-
dow. Objects placed closer to this could
impede the function of the inflatable curtain
concealed inside the headlining.
WARNING
Always secure the load. Otherwise, it may shift
during heavy braking and injure people in the
vehicle.
Cover sharp edges and sharp corners with
something soft.
Turn off the engine and apply the parking
brake when loading/unloading long objects.
Otherwise, it is possible for the load to reach
the gear lever or gear selector and move it to
a drive position – which could cause the vehi-
cle to begin rolling.
Extra cargo space
The rear seat backrests can be folded down to
increase cargo compartment space and simplify
loading. If the rear seat backrests are folded down, make sure that no objects loaded into the
vehicle prevent the WHIPS system for the front
seats from functioning correctly.
Raising/lowering the rear end of the
vehicle*
The rear end of the vehicle can be lowered or
raised for easier loading or to facilitate attaching
a trailer*.
The controls for raising/lowering are located at
the rear edge of the cargo compartment's right
side panel. Controls for raising/lowering the rear end of the vehicle.
The controls consist of two buttons ‒ one button
for lowering and one button for raising the rear
end. Press and hold the relevant button until the
desired height is reached.
The rear end of the vehicle cannot be raised
higher than its normal height. The rear end will return to the normal height
when the vehicle begins driving.
NOTE It is not possible to adjust the height of the
vehicle's rear when one or more of the doors
or the hood is open. This does not apply to
the tailgate.
WARNING
Make sure that no people, animals or objects
are found under the vehicle when it is low-
ered. This could endanger life and cause
damage to the vehicle or objects.
