CAUTION

■

Selecting the correct height mode

Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.

Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the vehicle, as well as dangerous

handling characteristics, which may lead to fatal or injury accidents.

●

Before you lower the vehicle's height or select the easy access mode, check

under the vehicle to make sure that no one is there.

●

The HI mode should be used for off-road driving conditions.

As the vehicle's center of gravity is higher in this setting, the vehicle may become

unstable when turning abruptly.

●

Do not select HI mode when you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier.

This may result in a loss of control or vehicle rollover.

NOTICE

■

Be careful in any place where overhead space is limited.

When changing to a higher mode or after unloading, the vehicle height will rise.

This may cause damage to the vehicle.

■

Do not select LO mode when driving on bumpy roads.

If the underbody of the vehicle touches a rugged road surface, the vehicle may be

damaged.

■

Do not change the vehicle height frequently.

The compressor might overheat and cause the operation to stop.
