ACTIVE AERO SYSTEM <Vehicles for Europe and General Export>
In order to improve aerodynamic characteristics when
driving at high speed, a variable front venturi skirt and
a variable rear spoiler which automatically move to
the operated positions at vehicle speeds of 80 km/h
(50 mph) or more and automatically 'move back to the
standard positions at 50 km/h (31 mph) or less are
equipped.
This active aero system has the following features.
• Front wheel lifting force has been reduced by
means of the front venturi skirt, and rear wheel
lifting force has been reduced by means of the
rear spoiler.
• A function is provided to set the aero parts to the
standard positions when driving on poor road sur-
faces, and to the operated position at times such
as when washing the vehicle.
• A deflector has been provided on the rear spoiler
to prevent dirtying of the rear of the vehicle by
sand, etc.
• A high-mounted stop lamp has been equipped on
the rear spoiler. <L.H. drive vehicles>
