Driving WARNING ■
When switching the vehicle height mode
Before lowering the vehicle height, check that there are no people under or around the
vehicle, and check for obstacles.
If you do not do this, body parts may be ca ught in the vehicle, possibly leading to an
accident. ■
Using the high mode
The high mode should only be used when driving on rough roads, for example when
driving off-road. Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the
mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting in an acci-
dent. ■
When jacking up the vehicle or installing tire chains
Turn off the height control and stop the engine, otherwise the vehicle height may
change due to the automatic leveling function and you may catch part of your body in
the vehicle, resulting in an accident. ■
When crossing rivers
Select the high mode and turn off the heig ht control. Drive at 18 mph (30 km/h) or
lower. Otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling function,
resulting in an accident. ■
If your vehicle must be towed
Put the vehicle height in the normal mode and turn off the height control, otherwise the
vehicle height may change due to the automatic leveling function and you may catch
part of your body in the vehi cle, resulting in an accident.■
If your vehicle becomes stuck in a ditch
Turn off the height control, otherwise the vehicle height may change due to the auto-
matic leveling function, re sulting in an accident.■
When loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier
Do not switch to high mode. Sudden steering could cause the vehicle to lose stability
due to the vehicle’s higher center of gr avity, possibly leading to an accident.
