SUSPENSION CONTROL SYSTEM OUTLINE

id021400112300

• The self-leveling suspension is a system that adjusts the vehicle height according the amount of vehicle load. This system will raise the rear of a vehicle, lowered due to a load placed on it, to the designated load level^* after the vehicle has been driven a certain distance.

• The vehicle height adjustment is performed using a gas-pressurized pump function built into the rear shock absorber.

• For the vehicle height to return to the designated load level, the vehicle must be driven approx. 5-6 km {3.1-3.7 miles} in city driving conditions. (Distance will vary due to load and road conditions.)

• A load amount of approx. 140-300 kg {308-660 lb} at the rear axle will cause the vehicle height to be raised, and any weight over that will prevent the vehicle from returning to the designated load level.

^*: Designated load level is defined as the level at which the vehicle is with: a full fuel tank; engine coolant and oil at specified levels; spare tire, jack and tools in designated positions; and four people, weighing 55 kg {121 lb} each, riding in the vehicle.
