Model "A8130BE-B" EDITED: 2007/ 7/ 25
Self-leveling rear suspension
(if equipped)
The self-leveling suspension adjusts the
vehicle body p osition automatically to
keep it level at all times irrespective of
the number of occupants and the amount
of cargo.
The self-leveling system is incorporated in
the rear suspension shock absorber and
operates only w hen the vehicle is in
motion.
Owing to the self-leveling suspension, the
vehicle body is adjusted to the proper
position after several drive trips, even if
the rear of the vehicle is lowered by
loaded cargos or a coupled trailer.
If cargos are unloaded all at once, the
vehicle height may become higher than
the normal level. This is because that the
hydraulic pressure in the self-leveling
suspension was increased for leveling
the body when the cargos were loaded.
In such a case, the vehicle height will
return to the original level after several
driving trips.
NOTE
If the rear axle is loaded excessively,
the vehicle body may not be adjusted
to the proper position.
