shift lever in P(Park) or N(Neutral),
you may change the vehicle height.
• When you drive under 70km/h, you
may select the HIGH mode.
• If the vehicle speed exceeds
70km/h while driving in the HIGH
mode, the NORMAL mode will be
selected automatically.• If the vehicle speed exceeds
120km/h while driving in NORMAL
mode, the LOW mode that is lower
than NORMAL mode will be select-
ed automatically. LOW mode can
not be selected manually.
• When you drive under 80km/h in
the LOW mode, the NORMAL
mode will be selected automatical-
ly.
• When the engine start/stop button
is turned off with the HIGH mode
selected, the HIGH mode will be
maintained.
It is to prevent damage under the
vehicle when parked in rough
roads.
• The height of the vehicle may be
adjusted after the engine start/stop
button is turned off for 2 hours/
5 hours/10 hours.
It is to compensate vehicle height
