SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEMA6E741601013201Outline
•The self-leveling suspension is a system that adjusts the vehicle height according the amount of vehicle load.
This system will raise the rear of a vehicle, lowered due to a load placed on it, to the designated load level
* after
the vehicle has been driven a certain distance.
•The vehicle height adjustment is performed using a gas-pressurized pump function built into the rear shock
absorber.
•For the vehicle height to return to the designated load level, the vehicle must be driven approx. 5—6 km {3.1—
3.7 miles} in city driving conditions. (Distance will vary due to load and road conditions.)
•A load amount of approx. 140—300 kg {308—660 lb} at the rear axle will cause the vehicle height to be raised,
and any weight over that will prevent the vehicle from returning to the designated load level.
*: Designated load level is defined as the level at which the vehicle is with: a full fuel tank; engine coolant and oil at
specified levels; spare tire, jack and tools in designated positions; and four people, weighing 55 kg {121 lb} each,
riding in the vehicle.

Operation
During leveling operation
•During shock absorber expansion, the inlet check valve opens due to negative pressure created in the pump
chamber, and oil is drawn into the pump chamber from the low-pressure chamber. During shock absorber
contraction, oil pressure in the pump chamber forces the outlet check valve to open, and oil in the pump
chamber flows through the pump cylinder into the high-pressure chamber. Due to this expansion and
contraction while driving, rod reaction force increases, and the vehicle height returns to the designated load
level. Also, similar to a regular shock absorber, damping is performed while driving with the damping valve.
.
Leveling operation completed
•When the vehicle height returns to the designated
load level, the volume of oil in the high-pressure
chamber increases and the piston rises. This
causes the pump chamber and the high-pressure
chamber to be connected at the pump rod notch,
and the expansion or contraction is completed.

During unloading of passengers and cargo
•When the vehicle height is higher than the
designated load level, oil flows back into the low-
pressure chamber from the high-pressure
chamber via the pump rod leveling port. As a
result, pressure in the high-pressure chamber
decreases, rod reaction force is reduced, and the
vehicle height returns to the designated load
level.
