Vehicles with a headlight control sensor
When the light switch is in the
position: The headlights turn off
automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to ACCES-
SORY or OFF mode.
When the light switch is in the
AUTO position: The headlights and all
lights turn off automatically if the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is
turned to ACCESSORY or OFF mode and the driver’s door is opened.
To turn the lights on again, turn the “ENGINE START STOP” switch to IGNI-

Light reminder buzzer
A buzzer sounds when the “ENGINE START STOP” switch is turned to
ACCESSORY or OFF mode and the driver’s door is opened while the lights
are turned on.
The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any-
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys-
tem to malfunction.

The windshield wiper and washer can be operated when
The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
Effects of vehicle speed on wiper operation (vehicles equipped with
rain-sensing windshield wipers)
Vehicle speed affects the wiper operation when the washer is being used
(delay until drip prevention wiper sweep occurs) even when the wipers are
not in “AUTO” mode.
With “ ” selected, wiper operation will be switched from low speed to inter-
mittent wiper operation only when the vehicle is stationary.
(However, when the sensor sensitivity is adjusted to the highest level, the
mode cannot be switched.)
Rain drop sensor (vehicles with rain-sensing windshield wipers)
If the wiper switch is turned to “AUTO” position while the “ENGINE
START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode, the wiper will operate
once to show that “AUTO” mode is activated.
If the temperature of the rain drop sensor is 80C (176F) or higher, or
-10C (14F) or lower, automatic operation may not occur. In this case,
operate the wipers in any mode other than “AUTO”.
If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked and if there is washer fluid in
the windshield washer fluid reservoir.
The sensor judges the amount of rain-
drops.

Operating conditions
The engine must be running.
Vehicle height control must be turned off.
All side doors and the back door must be closed.
Switching vehicle height mode while the engine is stopped
If the engine is stopped while the vehicle height is being lowered, lower-
ing will continue.
If any luggage is removed from the vehicle or if any occupants leave the
vehicle within approximately 30 seconds of the “ENGINE START STOP”
switch being turned OFF, the vehicle height may be lowered by the auto
leveling function.
Operating the height select switch will have no effect while the engine is
stopped.
Automatic change in vehicle height when the four-wheel drive control
switch is in the “L4” position
If the vehicle speed exceeds 3 km/h (2 mph) while driving on an uneven
road with the four-wheel drive control switch in the “L4” position, high mode
is automatically selected.
(On even roads, the height mode will not change.)
Automatic change in vehicle height when in the high mode
If the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h (18 mph) with the four-wheel drive
control switch in the “H4” position, normal mode is automatically
selected.
If the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h (25 mph) with the four-wheel drive
control switch in the “L4” position, the vehicle height is lowered to 25 mm
(1.0 in.) higher than the normal mode height. If the vehicle speed drops
to 20 km/h (13 mph) or less, high mode is automatically resumed.

If the vehicle becomes stuck or the Crawl Control system requests the vehi-
cle height be raised, extra high mode may be automatically selected when
the vehicle height is in high mode with the four-wheel drive control switch in
the “L4” position.
The vehicle height is raised to 20 mm (0.8 in.) higher than the high mode
height, or slightly higher.

In the following cases the 4-Wheel AHC will not operate
The brake pedal has been depressed for a few seconds or longer while
the vehicle is stopped.
Vehicle height control has not been frequently used.
The suspension fluid temperature is lower than -30°C (-22°F).
There is ice on the suspension.
Driving on bumpy roads which may cause the suspension to fully elon-
gate.
If the steering wheel is abruptly turned more than 3/4 of a revolution with
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).
The 4-Wheel AHC does not operate when the suspension fluid temperature
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.
When the suspension fluid is around -30°C (-22°F), the vehicle height
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.
Parking and stopping tips
If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, the vehicle
height may gradually lower. When parking, make sure there is nothing
under the vehicle that may come in contact with the underbody. The vehi-
cle will return to the set height when the engine is started.
The vehicle height may change as the temperature changes when the
engine is stopped. The vehicle will return to the set height when the
engine is started.
