NOTICE
■Camera sensor
●Keep the windshield clean at all times.
LDA performance may deteriorate due to the presence of raindrops, condensa-
tion, ice or snow on the windshield.
●Do not subject the camera sensor to strong impact or force, and do not disas-
semble the camera sensor.
●Do not change the installation position of the camera sensor or remove it. The
direction of the camera sensor is precisely adjusted.
●When it is cold, using the heater with air blowing to the feet may cause the upper
part of the windshield to fog up. This will have a negative effect on the images. In
such a case, use the windshield defogger to provide warm, dry air to the wind-
shield.
●Do not place anything on the dashboard.
The camera sensor may recognize the image reflected on the windshield as lane
markings by mistake.
●Do not scratch the camera lens, or let it get dirty.
●Do not attach stickers or other items to the windshield near the camera sensor.
●Adjust the inside rear view mirror correctly so that it does not interfere with the
camera sensor.
Observe the following to ensure that the
LDA system functions correctly.

■When HI mode is selected
The vehicle height will change to N mode when driving at the speeds of 18 mph (30
km/h).
Even if vehicle speed is then reduced to under 18 mph (30 km/h), height will not
return to HI mode.
■When LO mode is selected
The vehicle height will change to N mode when vehicle speed exceeds 7 mph
(12 km/h).
Even if vehicle speed is then reduced to under 7 mph (12 km/h), height will not
return to LO mode.
■Automatic leveling function
Regardless of the number of occupants and the luggage load, vehicle height in any
mode is always adjusted to a fixed height by the automatic leveling function.
■The rear height control air suspension will not operate in the following cases:
●The underbody of the vehicle is touching the surface of the road.
●The area around the suspension is covered with ice.
■Even if you hear an operating noise
This does not indicate a problem in the rear height control air suspension.
■Parking and stopping tips
●If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, or park the vehicle for
a long time, 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 vehicle 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.

CAUTION
■Selecting the correct height mode
●HI mode should only be used when driving on rough roads, for example when
driving off-road. Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when
in the mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in
an accident.
●Do not select HI mode when loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the mode, the
vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an accident.
●Before lowering vehicle height, check that there is no one under the vehicle.
NOTICE
■Be careful in any place where overhead space is limited
The vehicle height will rise when a higher mode is selected or cargo is unloaded.
This may cause damage to the vehicle.
■Do not select LO mode when driving on bumpy roads
If the underbody of the vehicle touches a rugged road surface, the vehicle may be
damaged.
■Changing vehicle height
Do not change vehicle height frequently.
The compressor may overheat and stop operation.
■When on the extremely uneven roads with rocks
Sometimes the vehicle height is not adjusted because it is judged as uneven road
driving.
