■ Automatic leveling function
The vehicle is adjusted to a fixed height for each mode, regardless of the number of
occupants and the luggage load.
● However the vehicle cannot be raised if the vehicle load exceeds the following
limits:
• Up to 4 occupants
* plus approximately 661 lb. (300 kg) in the normal mode
• Up to 4 occupants
* plus approximately 441 lb. (200 kg) in the high mode
*: average weight 150 lb. (68 kg) per person
● If the vehicle height cannot be raised when in the normal mode, and “LO”
appears on the display, the vehicle is loaded too heavily. Take extra care when
driving in this condition.
If the vehicle height cannot be raised even after unloading the vehicle, pull the
height select switch to “” then push to “”. If the vehicle height still cannot be
raised, turn the ignition off then on again, then try once more.
■ When the vehicle is stopped during driving
The activation of the automatic leveling function may cause the vehicle height to
change. This is not a malfunction.
■ If the vehicle height does not change
If the vehicle is loaded too heavily, or the undercarriage has come into contact with
the road surface, the vehicle height cannot be raised/lowered.
■ In the following cases the 4-Wheel AHC will not operate
● The brake pedal has been depressed for a few seconds or longer while the vehi-
cle is stopped.
● Vehicle height control has not been frequently used.
● The suspension fluid temperature is lower than -22°F (-30°C).
● There is ice on the suspension.
● Driving on bumpy roads which may cause the suspension to fully elongate.
● If the steering wheel is abruptly turned more than 3/4 of a revolution with the
center differential lock system activated.
