At speeds above approximately 60 mph (95 km/h) the
vehicle chassis is lowered automatically by about one
half inch (15 mm).
Option 1
Level increases one half inch (15 mm)
This setting may be used when road surface conditions
are rough.
When option 1 is selected, the vehicle chassis is raised
by one ha lf inch (15 mm) a t vehicle speed s u p to approx.
35 mph (60 km/h).
At speeds between approximately 35 mph (60 km/h)
and 60 mph (95 km/h) the vehicle chassis is lowered to
its normal level.
At speeds above approximately 60 mph (95 km/h) the
vehicle chassis is lowered an additional one half inch
(15 mm). Notes:
When exceeding approximately 60 mph (95 km/h), the
system switches from option 1 back to Normal Level.
The indicator lamp will go out.
If speed exceeds 35 mph (60 km/h) but does not exceed
60 mph (95 km/h), the vehicle chassis will be
automatically raised again by one half inch (15 mm)
when vehicle speed drops below approx. 35 mph
(60 km/h).
Option 2
Level increases one inch (30 mm)
This setting may be used when road surface conditions
are very rough for increased ground clearance.
Upon selection of option 2 the vehicle chassis is raised
by one inch (30 mm). This option can only be selected at
vehicle standstill, and the raised level is only retained
up to speeds of approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).
