STARTING AND DRIVING (d) Vehicle height adjustment 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: 31X049b " 1 Higher 2 Lower To change the mode, push the height select switch on either side of "Y" and "B". The height control indicator light indicates which mode is selected. (See page 198.) 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. NOTICE D If you change the vehicle height frequently, the pump may overheat. To prevent this, the active height control suspension should be stopped temporarily for a minute between selections. Operate it again. 196
