Option 2
Level increases one inch
(30 mm)
This setting may be used when road
surface conditions are very rough for
increased ground clearance.
Upon selection of Option 2 the vehicle
chassis is raised by 1 inch (30 mm).
This option can only be selected at
vehicle standstill, and the raised level is
only retained up to speeds of
approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).
At speeds between approximately 15
mph (25 km/h) and 35 mph (60 km/h)
the vehicle chassis is lowered by one
half inch (15 mm).
At speeds between approximately 35
mph (60 km/h) and 60 mph (95 km/h)
the vehicle chassis is lowered to its
normal level.
At speeds above approximately 60 mph
(95 km/h) the vehicle chassis is
lowered an additional one half inch (15
mm).
Notes:
When exceeding approximately 35
mph (60 km/h), the system will switch
from Option 2 to Option 1. Only one
indicator lamp will be illuminated.
When exceeding approximately 60
mph (95 km/h) the system will switch
from Option 1 to Normal Level. The
indicator lamp will go out.
If speed exceeds approx. 35 mph (60
km/h) but does not exceed 60 mph (95
km/h), the system will switch from
Option 2 to Option 1 when vehicle
speeds drop below approximately 35
mph (60 km/h).
If speed does not exceed 35 mph (60
km/h), the system will switch from
Option 2 to Option 1 when driving on
after the vehicle has been stopped.
Wheel Change Switch (2)
Prior to changing a wheel, depress
wheel change switch with engine
running. The switch and ADS indicator
lamps light up. The presently selected
level option cannot be changed now.
After activating the safety switch stop
the engine.
Warning!
Do not drive the vehicle while the
wheel change switch is activated
since the vehicle suspension will not
function properly.
