The auto access feature lowers the vehicle by up to 0.8 inches (20 mm) when either:
- The vehicle's ignition is switched off.
- The vehicle is stationary and an occupied seat belt is unbuckled.
Note: The vehicle does not lower if the second row center seat belt is unbuckled, but the second row outer seat belts remain buckled.
The vehicle is lowered by a further 0.8 inches (20 mm) when a door is opened.
The vehicle returns to normal height if a door is not opened and the vehicle's speed reaches 25 mph (40 km/h).
Note: The auto access feature operates more efficiently and smoothly with the Electric Parking Brake (EPB) applied and the brake pedal fully released.
