SWITCH
Note that the above illustration is for LHD models.
Depending on the number of occupants in the ve-
hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When travelling with no heavy load on a flat road,
select position 0.

ent luggage compartment arrangements. The lug-
gage floor boards can be rearranged as illustrated:
Upper positionjA
This position provides a flat load floor (the rear seat

restraint system” section). It also serves as a con-
cealed load area for objects placed below the pan-
els.

gage compartment.
In order to rearrange the “Flexi-board” system lay-
out, proceed as follows:

•The carpet finishjE should face up for all dry
use applications.
•The smooth surfacejD should be used only
when loading wet objects.
•Load should be distributed evenly and not ex-
ceed 50 kg (110 lb) on any of the panels.
