When driving
■High mode
●This mode is suitable for driving on gravel or bumpy roads.
●“Height Hi” appears on multi-information display when the high mode selected.
●The vehicle adjusts its height between high and normal depending on driving
conditions.
●The damping mode is set slightly firmer in the high mode so you may feel more
road vibration compared to the normal mode. This is not a malfunction.
■Normal mode
●This mode suitable for driving on roads with a normal surface.
●The height remains at normal height at all driving speeds.

CAUTION
■Pre-collision system limitations
●The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and dam-
age in certain frontal collisions only. It is not a collision avoidance system and is
no
t a substitute for safe and attentive driving. System effectiveness depends on
many factors, such as speed, dr iver input and road conditions.
●The sensor is able to detect objects in front of the vehicle within 10 degrees on
either side. If the object is out of range, or there is little to no millimeter wave
reflection, the sensor will not detect the object.
●Even if the system is operative in a collisio n, unless the seat belts are worn and the
brake pedal is depressed, the pre-collision seat belts and brake assist system will
operate.
■Failure Warning
If an error is detected, the master warn i
ng light comes on, a warning tone sounds
and the following warning message appears on the multi-information display.
