(d) Vehicle height adjustment
31X049b
1 Higher 2 Lower
To change the mode, push the height select switch on
either side of ”
” and ” ”.
The height control indicator light indicates which mode is
selected. (See page 221.)
NOTICE
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.
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.
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:
Up to 4 occupants* plus about 300 kg (661 lb.) in the normal
mode
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 ”
” side and then on the
” ” side. If this does not work, turn off the ignition once and
then turn on. Operate the select switch again.
