LOAD LEVELING
SYSTEM (for
versions/markets, where
provided)
The automatic load leveling system
will provide a level-riding vehicle un-
der most passenger and cargo loading
conditions.
A hydraulic pump contained within
the shock absorbers raises the rear of
the vehicle to the correct height. It
takes approximately 1.6 km of driv-
ing for the leveling to complete de-
pending on road surface conditions.
If the leveled vehicle is not moved for
approximately 15 hours, the leveling
system will bleed itself down. The ve-
hicle must be driven to reset the sys-
tem.147
