“N” (normal) mode
“N” (normal) mode: The vehicle’s height in this mode is
standard.
This mode is suitable for ordinary driving.
When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 100 km/h (62
mph), the vehicle’s height automatically lowers about 7 mm
(0.3 in.) from normal height to provide better stability. When the
vehicle speed reduces to under approximately 80 km/h (50
mph), the vehicle’s height automatically returns to the normal
height.

“HI” (high) mode
“HI” (high) mode: The vehicle’s height is about 30 mm (1.2
in.) higher than the normal height.
This mode is suitable for driving on bumpy roads.
When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 50 km/h (31
mph) or driving at the speeds of 30 km/h (19 mph) or over for
ten seconds total in “HI” mode, “N” mode is automatically
selected. Even if the vehicle speed then reduces to under 50
km/h (31 mph), the vehicle’s height will not return to “HI” mode.
