“LO” (low) mode—
The vehicle height is about 20 mm (0.8
in.) lower at rear than the “N” mode
height.
This mode allows you easy access to the
vehicle (getting in and out) and easy load-
ing and unloading operation.
This mode is available when the vehicle
speed is under about 12 km/h (7 mph).
NOTICE
Use the “LO” mode when the vehicle
is stopped. Otherwise, when the ve-
hicle speed exceeds about 12 km/h (7
mph), “N” mode is selected automati-
cally. So be careful when you drive in
any place where the overhead height
is limited.
