(d) Vehicle height adjustment
To change the mode, push the height
select
switch on either side of
“ ”(higher) and “ ”(lower).
The height control indicator light indicates
which mode is selected. (See “(f) Height
control indicator lights” described below.)
NOTICE
!
If you change the vehicle height fre-
quently, the pump may overheat. To
prevent this, the active height con-
trol 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
nothing to damage the vehicle or
no one to be injured is there and
that the underbody of the vehicle
does not touch the ground.
! After unloading, the height of a ve-
hicle
equipped with the active
height control suspension becomes
slightly higher than the normal ve-
hicle height. Take sufficient care
where the overhead height is re-
stricted.
The vehicle height cannot be raised if
the vehicle load exceeds the following
limits:
$
Up to 4 occupants
∗
plus about 280 kg
(617 lb.) in the normal mode
$
Up to 4 occupants
∗
plus about 150 kg
(331 lb.) in the high mode
∗
: About 75 kg (165 lb.) for a person
If the above load capacity is exceeded,
the desired vehicle height may not be ob-
tained 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 be-
cause 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 se-
lect 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.
If the vehicle height is adjusted on the
slope, or with the selector lever in a posi-
tion 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.
