the vehicle is stopped.
Vehicle height control has not been frequently used.
The suspension fluid temperature is lower than -30°C (-22°F).

the center differential lock system activated.
Cold weather operation
It may take longer for the vehicle height to change if the suspension fluid
temperature drops below -15°C (5°F).

drops below -30°C (-22°F).
In this case, even if the height select switch is pressed, the vehicle height
will not change. Once the vehicle has been driven for a short time and
the suspension fluid has been warmed to within normal operating limits,
the 4-Wheel AHC will begin operating and the vehicle height will auto-
matically change to the selected mode.

may not be able to be raised, even if the 4-Wheel AHC is operating. In
this case, push “ ” then “ ” on the height select switch after driving for
a short time longer to select the desired vehicle height.
