There’s also an active height control that lowers the chassis about two inches for easier entry and exit, and raises it at lower speeds, lowering it again at higher speeds to help out in aerodynamic and fuel-efficient ways. Crawl Control aids drivers in off-road situations requiring delicate throttle inputs. The LX also offers abundant safety equipment, including ten airbags.
