Parking precaution
■
If the vehicle is parked for a long time,
●
the vehicle height may change due to
changes in the ambient temperature.
When parking the vehicle, make sure
that the area above and below the
vehicle is clear, so that the vehicle will
not contact anything if its height
changes.
Be careful when parking the vehicle in
●
an area with a low ceiling or near low
hanging objects, as the vehicle height
will increase when passengers exit the
vehicle and exit control of access
mode operates.
When the doors are closed or locked,
●
the vehicle height may decrease.
When parking in a parking lot with a
device which raises to contact the bot-
tom of the vehicle, make sure to disa-
ble the vehicle height control.
