STARTING AND DRIVING D Before you lower the vehicle height with the height select switch, check under the vehicle to make sure that nothing to damage the vehicle or no one to be injured is there and the underbody of the vehicle does not touch the ground. D After unloading, the height of a vehicle equipped with the active height control suspension becomes slightly higher than the normal vehicle height. Take sufficient care where the overhead height is restricted. The vehicle height cannot be raised if the vehicle load exceeds the following limits: D Up to 4 occupants* plus about 300 kg (661 lb.) in the normal mode D Up to 4 occupants* plus about 170 kg (375 lb.) in the high mode *About 68 kg (150 lb.) for a person If the above load capacity is exceeded, the desired vehicle height may not be obtained even if the height select switch is pushed. (If the vehicle height cannot be raised in the normal mode and the height control indicator indicates "LO", this is because the vehicle is loaded too heavily. Under these conditions, drive your vehicle with due care.) If the vehicle height cannot be raised even after unloading, push the height select switch on the "B" side and then on the "Y" side. If this does not work, turn off the ignition once and then turn on. Operate the select switch again. D Selecting the high mode: Push the height select switch on the "Y" side when the vehicle speed is under about 30 km/h (19 mph). To change the normal mode to high, push the switch once. To change the low mode to high, push the switch twice. It takes about 30 seconds until the low mode changes to the high mode. D Selecting the normal mode: To change the high mode to normal, push the height select switch on the "B" side once. To change the low mode to normal, push the height select switch on the "Y" side once. D Selecting the low mode: Push the height select switch on the "B" side while the vehicle is stopped. To change the high mode to low, push the switch twice. To change the normal mode to low, push the switch once. NOTICE Do not select the low mode on bumpy roads. If the underbody of the vehicle touches the rugged road surface, the vehicle may be damaged. Even if the engine is stopped while the vehicle height is being lowered, the operation continues for up to 12 seconds. 289
