NOTICE
■
°HI± mode
●
“HI” mode should be used for off-road driving. As the vehicle's center of gravity is
higher in this setting, the vehicle may become unstable if an abrupt turn is made.
●
Do not select “HI” mode when loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier. This
may result in a loss of control or vehicle rollover.
■
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. Also be careful when driving while the vehicle is automatically returning
from luggage or “LO” mode to “N” mode.
■
Automatic return to °N± mode
In the following situations, the height of the vehicle will automatically increase. Be
careful in any place where overhead space is limited.
●
The vehicle begins to move while still in luggage mode.
●
The hybrid system is restarted while the vehicle is in “LO” mode.
