SDM (Stabilizer with Disconnection
Mechanism)
SDM (Stabilizer with Disconnection Mechanism) is a system that switches
conditions of the front stabilizer to maintain vehicle stability and drivability on paved
road and off-road situations.
Depending on the switch operation or vehicle speed, the stabilizer is locked/
unlocked, which results in the following effects.
During driving on paved roads
The stabilizer is locked and the movement of the suspensions is restrained,
resulting in stable driving.
During off-road driving
• The stabilizer is unlocked and it becomes easier that the suspensions extend and
retract, leading to improvement of drivability on rough roads.
• The vibration of the vehicle body is reduced, which helps enhance riding comfort.
SYSTEM ON/OFF
Press the SDM switch.
The stabilizer is unlocked and the SDM indicator will come on. Press the switch
again to lock the stabilizer (the SDM indicator will turn off). While the stabilizer is
being locked or unlocked, the SDM indicator flashes.
The vehicle must be ON and the vehicle speed is approximately 18 mph (30 km/h)
or less. The stabilizer will be locked again when the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 18 mph (30 km/h).
Refer to the "Owner's Manual" for limitations and more details on this system before
attempting to use it.
