CAUTION
The "HI" (high) or "Extra high" mode should be used for
severe off−road driving condition only. Because the
vehicle's center of gravity is higher in this setting, the
vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly,
resulting in an unexpected accident.
When the four−wheel drive control lever is put at "L", this mode
may change to the extra high mode automatically in
accordance with the driving condition.
When the vehicle exceeds the specified vehicle speed, the
vehicle height changes to the following:
With the four−wheel drive control lever at "H" and at the
vehicle speed of 30 km/h (19 mph) or over, the normal mode
is automatically selected.
With the four−wheel drive control lever at "L" and at the
vehicle speed of 50 km/h (30 mph) or over, the vehicle
height becomes automatically about 25 mm (1.0 in.) higher
than the normal mode height. If the vehicle speed is lowered
about 20 km/h (12 mph) or less after that, the high mode
automatically resumes.
Extra high mode
This mode is automatically selected from the high mode
with the four−wheel drive control lever placed in "L"
position depending on the vehicle driving condition.
If the vehicle becomes stuck, the vehicle height rises
automatically to the extra high mode (slightly higher or at about
70 mm (2.8 in.) higher than normal mode height).
STARTING AND DRIVING
In the following cases, the extra high mode changes to the high
mode automatically:
D When your vehicle is no longer stuck.
D When the four−wheel drive control lever is put in a position
other than "L".
When you push the height select switch on the "B" side
in the extra high mode, the normal mode is selected.
Since the extra high mode is automatically selected, you
cannot select this mode on purpose with the height select
switch.
D "N" (normal) mode
The vehicle height in this mode is standard.
This mode is suitable for ordinary driving.
D "LO" (low) mode
The vehicle height is about 50 mm (2.0 in.) lower at front
and about 40 mm (1.6 in.) lower at rear than the normal
mode height.
This mode allows you easy access to the vehicle (getting in
and out) and easy loading and unloading operation.
This mode is available when the vehicle is stopped. When you
start the vehicle, the normal mode is automatically selected.
