when the frozen ice melts.)
2. The sensor is covered or blocked with foreign substances, such as
snow or water. (It will normally
operate again when the substance
is removed, and the sensor is no
longer blocked.)
3. The sensor is stained with foreign substances such as snow or
water. (The sensing range will
return to normal when foreign sub-
stances are removed.)

gravels, bumps, or slopes.
2. The sensor is interfered with objects, which generate excessive
noise, such as horns, motorcycle
engines, or truck air brakes.
3. Heavy rain or water is sprayed.
4. Wireless transmitters or mobile phones are near the sensor.
5. The sensor is covered with snow.

height or sensor installation is mod-
ified. Any unauthorized installment
of equipment or accessories may
also limit the sensor performance.
3. Sensor may not recognize objects within 12 in (30 cm), or it may mis-
calculate the distance.

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.
