The ECS automatically controls the
vehicle suspension to maximize pas-
sengers' comfort with the air spring
and the controllable shock absorber.
You can also manually control the
vehicle height in the NORMAL or
HIGH mode.
To control the vehicle height
Press the vehicle height control but-
ton to select the HIGH mode that
makes the vehicle higher than the
NORMAL mode. The vehicle height
indicator will illuminate. It is useful on
a rough road.
Information
When the driving speed is over 42
mph (70 km/h), you cannot select the
HIGH mode. When the driving speed
exceeds 42 mph (70 km/h) in the
HIGH mode, the mode automatically
changes to the NORMAL mode. Repress the vehicle height control
button to select the NORMAL mode
that makes the vehicle height lower
than the HIGH mode. The vehicle
height indicator will go OFF.
Information
• Only when the vehicle stops with the
shift lever in P(Park) or N(Neutral),
the height control button is avail-
able.
• When the driving speed exceeds 99 mph (160km) in NORMAL mode,
the mode automatically changes to
the LOW mode. LOW mode cannot
be selected manually.
• When the driving speed is under 50 mph (80 km/h) in the LOW mode,
the mode automatically changes to
the NORMAL mode.
• When the Engine Start/Stop button is turned OFF in the HIGH mode,
the HIGH mode selection will be
maintained.
It is to prevent damage the bottom of
a vehicle when parking on a rough
road.
• Make sure there are no objects under the vehicle before changing
vehicle height.
• A click sound may be heard while operating the ECS. This is normal
and indicates that ECS properly
functions.
• Depending on the outside tempera- ture the vehicle height may be dif-
ferent.
• Do not press the Engine Start/Stop button while operating the ECS.
This could cause damage to the
ECS.

Your vehicle's fuel economy depends
mainly on your driving style such as
where you drive and when you drive.
Each of these factors affects your
fuel economy (how many miles/kilo-
meters you can drive with a
gallon/liter of fuel). To drive your vehi-
cle as economically as possible, fol-
low the below driving suggestions.
These will help you save in both the
fuel and repair expenses:
Drive smoothly. Accelerate at amoderate rate. Do not make
"jackrabbit" starts or full-throttle
shifts. Maintain a steady cruising
speed. Do not race between stop-
lights. Try to adjust your speed in
accordance with other traffic to
avoid unnecessary speed
changes. Avoid heavy traffic when-
ever possible. Always maintain a
safe distance from a vehicle in
front to avoid unnecessary braking.
This also reduces brake wear-out.
Drive at a moderate speed. The faster you drive, the more fuel your
vehicle uses. Driving at a moderate
speed, in the highest gear appro-
priate for the driving conditions
especially on the highway, is one of
the most effective ways to reduce
fuel consumption.
Do not "ride" the brake pedal. This can increase fuel consumption and
also wear out the brake compo-
nents. In addition, resting your foot
on the brake pedal, while driving,
may overheat the brake, reducing
breaking effects and possibly lead-
ing a serious consequence.
Check your tire conditions. Keep them inflated to the recommended
pressure level. Under or over infla-
tion will unnecessarily tire wear-
out. Check the tire pressures at
least once a month. Make sure that the wheels are cor-
rectly aligned. Hitting a curb or
driving too fast on uneven surfaces
may distort the wheel alignment.
Poor alignment causes faster tire
wear-out and may also result in
other problems as well as greater
fuel consumption.
Keep your vehicle in good condi- tion. For the better fuel economy
and the cheaper maintenance
expenses, maintain your vehicle in
accordance with the maintenance
schedule in the chapter 7. When
you drive your vehicle in harsh con-
ditions, more frequent mainte-
nance is required (refer to the
chapter 7 for further information).
Keep your vehicle clean. Your vehi- cle should be kept clean and away
from any corrosive substances. It is
especially important that mud, dirt,
ice and others are not daubed
under the vehicle. This extra weight
may increase the fuel consumption
and also cause corrosion.
Avoid a heavy loading. Do not carry unnecessary weight in your
vehicle. It will improve your fuel
economy.
Do not let the engine idle longer than necessary. When you wait
(not in traffic), turn OFF the engine.
Then restart the engine, when you
are ready to go.
Remember that your vehicle does not require the engine warm-up for
a long time. After turning On the
engine, run the engine for 10 to 20
seconds, before shifting the gear.
In cold weather, however, your
engine needs a slightly longer
warm-up period.
