WARNING
■
The rear height control air suspension must be turned off
Be sure to observe the following precautions. Otherwise, the automatic leveling func-
tion may cause vehicle height to change, and you may catch part of your body in the
vehicle, resulting in an accident:
●
When jacking up the vehicle, installing tire chains or tying the vehicle with chains/
wires for transportation via flatbed truck, turn off the rear height control air suspen-
sion and stop the engine.
●
When the vehicle must be towed or disconnecting a trailer, put the vehicle height in N
mode and turn off the rear height control air suspension.
●
When the vehicle is stuck, turn off the rear height control air suspension.
■
Selecting the correct height mode
●
HI mode should only be used when driving on rough roads, for example when driving
off-road.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the
vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●
Do not select HI mode when loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the
vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●
Before lowering vehicle height, check that there is no one under the vehicle.
NOTICE
■
Be careful in any place where overhead space is limited
The vehicle height will rise when a higher mode is selected or cargo is unloaded. 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.
■
Changing vehicle height
Do not change vehicle height frequently.
The compressor may overheat and stop operation.
■
When on the extremely uneven roads with rocks
Sometimes the vehicle height is not adjusted because it is judged as uneven road driv-
ing.
