- The Off-Road 1 setting raises the
vehicle 1.6 inches (40 mm) above the
normal height. Off-Road 1 operates
at speeds of up to 50 mph (80 km/h).
The Off-Road 1 setting can be selected at speeds of up to 44 mph (70 km/h).

vehicle 2.9 inches (75 mm) above the
normal height. Off-Road 2 operates
at speeds of up to 31 mph (50 km/h).
The Off-Road 2 setting can be selected at speeds of up to 25 mph (40 km/h).
The suspension system automatically selects the most appropriate of the two settings, based on a number of conditions.
