- When the vehicle is parked and the engine is turned off, the level is

after a slight delay when the door has been closed.) When the engine is
started and the vehicle begins to move, the level will be raised to the
height set by the selected drive mode.

is raised using a jack*. The level difference caused by raising the vehicle with
a jack could cause problems with the pneumatic suspension.

and Suspension.

(Option/accessory.)
The vehicle's leveling control system adjusts the suspension and shock absorbers
automatically to help optimize comfort and control while driving...
The low-speed function (LSC1) facilitates and improves control
and traction on rough roads and slippery surfaces, e.g. when towing a trailer on
grass or up boat ramps...
Other information:
Kickdown can be used when maximum acceleration is needed e.g. when passing.
When the accelerator pedal is depressed all the way to the floor (past the normal
full accelerator position), the transmission will automatically engage kickdown,
i.e. immediately shift down to a lower gear...
The parking brake helps keep the vehicle stationary by mechanically locking
two wheels.
The parking brake controls are located in the tunnel console
between the seats.
When the electric parking brake is being applied, a faint sound can be heard
from the brake's electric motor...
