While the preload is being adjusted,
the information display may change as
follows.
 If the main switch is turned off or
the engine is stopped while the
preload is being set, the following
preload setting pictogram will
flash to alert you that the current
preload setting does not match
the pictogram. If this occurs, ad-
just the preload again.
 If the vehicle starts moving, the
following preload setting picto-
gram will flash to alert you that the
current preload setting does not
match the pictogram. If this oc-
curs, stop the vehicle and adjust
the preload again. 
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.
