■When luggage mode is selected
If the vehicle begins to move while still in luggage mode, the vehicle will automati-
cally change to “N” mode once speed exceeds 8 km/h (5 mph). Even if vehicle
speed is reduced below 8 km/h (5 mph), the vehicle height will not automatically
return to luggage mode.
■Operating sound of the air suspension
When the vehicle height is lowered, such as when entering and loading the vehicle,
or when the height selector switch is operated, the sound of the compressor oper-
ating or the mode changing may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunction.
■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.
■Vehicle height mode change time
●If the height control is operated continuously to lower the vehicle, the suspen-
sion air tank may become full, causing operation of the vehicle height lowering
control to become slow.
●To protect the compressor, the system will only raise the vehicle for a total of
100 consecutive seconds. If it takes longer than this to reach the selected
height, operation may be suspended shortly and then restart. However, it may
not be possible to change the vehicle's height mode at this time.
■The electronically modulated air suspension will not operate when
The vehicle height control may not be able to change modes when the vehicle runs
over a high curb or other rugged surfaces where the suspension is stretched.

careful in any place where overhead space is limited.
●The vehicle begins to move while still in luggage mode.
