Suspension

Updated 28/10/2024

Your car has suspension designed to create a pleasant driving experience.

Your car's suspension affects the comfort and handling of your drive. Some of the suspension features can be customised in the centre display, whereas others are automatic.

Suspension feel

You can enable a firmer suspension feel in settings. Different levels of suspension firmness are suited for different driving situations and scenarios.

Note

Speed-dependent suspension feel

Your car automatically adjusts the suspension firmness depending on your speed. This is separate from the adjustable suspension feel setting and allows you to maintain good road handling while driving at different speeds.

Suspension height

You can raise the car's suspension to increase the ground clearance of your car by selecting the off-road drive mode. This is done in settings in the centre display.

Note

Speed-dependent height

Your car will automatically adjusts the driving height depending on your speed. This is separate from the off-road setting and allows you to maintain good road handling while driving.

Tip

Easy entry and exit

Your car can lower the suspension and move your seat back when you're about to enter or exit the car. This can be helpful as it might make it easier for you to get in and out of the driver's position.

Easy loading

You can lower the rear of the car to make it easier to load heavy cargo into the boot. Use the button panel in the boot to adjust the loading height. You can both raise and lower the rear of the car, using two different buttons in the button panel.

Symbol for raising the rear of the car — Raise the rear of the car.

Symbol for lowering the rear of the car — Lower the rear of the car.

Your car is equipped with air suspension which will automatically level the car if the ground is uneven. The air suspension has to be turned off when you use a jack to raise a wheel off the ground. If you don't, the car will try to maintain a level position. You can turn air suspension off in settings in the centre display.

Important

The physical suspension system should only ever be handled by a trained technician.

Warning

The shock absorbers are gas pressurised. Do not heat or open the shock absorbers.

Suspension-related faults

If your car notices a suspension-related fault, it will notify you with a symbol and a message in one or more of the displays. The message and symbol depend on the nature and severity of the detected fault. Be sure to read and follow any instructions in the message.
