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. If the vehicle height is adjusted on the slope, or with the selector lever in a position other than "P" or "N" while the vehicle is stopped, you may hear a sound caused by the expansion and contraction of the propeller shaft. 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. 282

STARTING AND DRIVING
282
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.
If the vehicle height is adjusted on the slope, or with the
selector lever in a position other than °P± or °N± while the
vehicle is stopped, you may hear a sound caused by the
expansion and contraction of the propeller shaft.
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.
