ton to select the HIGH mode that
makes the vehicle height be higherthan the NORMAL mode and the
indicator light on the vehicle height
control button will illuminate. It isuseful in a rough road.
Push the vehicle height control but- ton again to select the NORMAL
mode that makes the vehicle
height lower than the HIGH mode.
The indicator light in the vehicle
height control button will go off.
When the vehicle stops with the 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 lowerthan 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 NORMALmode will be selected automatical-
ly.
When the engine start/stop button is turned off with the HIGH modeselected, the HIGH mode will bemaintained.
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
2hours/5hours/10hours.
It is to compensate vehicle height

NOTICE
Make sure there are no objects under the vehicle before changing
the vehicle height.
A click sound may be heard while operating ECS, but these condi-
tions are normal and indicate that
ECS is functioning properly.
Depending on the outside temper- ature the vehicle height may be
different.
When the vehicle is parked with one side of the vehicle lifted or
vehicle speed is suddenly acceler-
ated/decelerated or the steering
wheel is suddenly turned, the
height may not temporarily be
adjusted. This is to protect the sys-
tem.
When one side of the vehicle was lifted with a jack, the height may
not temporarily be adjusted. The
ECS will operate normally when
the engine is turned on again or
when the vehicle is accelerated.
When the vehicle is not driven for a long period of time, vehicle
height may get low. The ECS will
operate normally when the engine
is turned on. ✽✽
NOTICE
If the battery is discharged, the ECS malfunction indicator may
illuminate to protect the system.
When the height is adjusted repeatedly, the height may not
temporarily be adjusted for the
compressor overheats. This is to
prevent damage to related parts. Towing your vehicle
OKH052104
CAUTION
If the ECS malfunction indicator
illuminates when there is no airin the suspension, the vehicle height will be very low, so donot drive to protect the vehiclefrom the projections on the sur-face of the ground. We recom- mend that the system bechecked by an authorized Kiadealer. You should tow the vehi- cle as the picture.
