Automotive systems and methods of operating vehicles

A method of operating a vehicle having a body including a first end and a second end, the first end of the body being positionable in a first front trim height position, and the second end of the body being positionable in a first rear trim height position, the method comprising the steps of:

• receiving a first signal representative of a vehicle speed that is above a first speed threshold;
• receiving a second signal representative of a first ambient light intensity that is below a first intensity threshold;
• and
• providing a first command to a suspension system to lower the first end of the body to a second front trim height position relative to a horizontal plane, where the second front trim height position is below the first front trim height position, and to lower the second end of the body to a second rear trim height position relative to the horizontal plane, where the second rear trim height position is below the first rear trim height position, in response to receiving the first signal and the second signal.

• wherein:
• a difference between the first front trim height position and the second front trim height position is substantially equal to a difference between the first rear trim height position and the second rear trim height position.
