If the preload is adjusted repeat-
edly, the preload setting picto-
gram will flash 4 times and the
preload cannot be adjusted. Wait
approximately 6 minutes for the
preload adjusting function motor
to cool down, and then try adjust-
ing the preload again.
Dampin g force
Within each preload setting there are 3
damping force settings: “HARD”
(hard), “STD” (standard) and “SOFT”
(soft). When the preload setting is
changed, the damping force settings
will change accordingly. (The electron-
ically adjustable suspension system
will automatically adjust to the damp-
ing force settings last set for that pre-
load setting.) To further finely adjust
the damping force, each damping for-
ce setting can be set to 7 different lev-
els.
TIP
If the preload setting was not complet-
ed correctly: The damping force setting and
setting level will flash 4 times and
cannot be adjusted if you try to
adjust them while the vehicle is
stopped.
The preload setting pictogram will
flash and the damping force can-
not be adjusted if you try to adjust
it while the vehicle is moving.
Be sure that the preload has been set
correctly before adjusting the damping
force.
To adjust the damping force and
damping force setting level
1. Turn the key to “ON”.
2. Push the menu switch “MENU” to switch the function display to the
damping force adjusting function.
