With rear level control, the car maintains the same height at the rear regardless of load. Level control can also occur even after the car has been parked.
Shock absorption (Four-C)
On a car equipped with Four-C the shock absorption is adapted according to the drive mode selected and the speed of the car. Shock absorption is normally set for optimum comfort and is regulated continuously depending on the road surface, the car's acceleration, braking and cornering.
During transport
During transport of the car on a ferry, train or truck, the car must be lashed around the tyres and not around other parts of the chassis. Changes in the level control may occur during transport, which could have a negative effect on the lashing.

If a fault arises with the level control, a message is shown in the driver display.
