Self-levelling Suspension
SELF-LEVELLING SUSPENSION*
MANUAL OPERATION
Self-levelling Suspension
When the engine is running, the self-levelling
suspension system (SLS) operates
automatically on the rear of the vehicle to
maintain a level or efficient vehicle height
regardless of vehicle load.
The SLS system can also be manually
controlled to either:
•
Raise the rear of the vehicle by 40 mm
(approx.) to increase ground clearance and
improve the departure angle for off-road
driving. Note that this function operates
ONLY below a speed of 30 km/h - above this
speed, the vehicle will automatically return
to its standard ride height.
AUTOMATIC OPERATION
If the height of the vehicle is reduced by
additional loading (passengers occupying the
occasional rear seats or the attachment of a
trailer, for example), the SLS system
automatically increases air pressure to the
springs to compensate for the additional weight
or changed attitude of the vehicle. Similarly, if
loads are removed and the vehicle height
increases in consequence, the system will
reduce air pressure to bring the vehicle back to
a level attitude.
•
Lower the vehicle in order to ease loading,
or to enable various heights of trailer hitch
to be connected more easily. The SLS
system will assume automatic control -
adjusting the height of the vehicle 10
seconds after a road speed of 5 km/h is
reached, or immediately once a road speed
of 12 km/h has been achieved.
WARNING
DO NOT operate the off-road switch while
driving on the road, or when the suspension
has been manually lowered below standard
ride height - any sudden or unexpected
change to the vehicle's height or attitude
could cause an inexperienced driver to lose
control, or disturb the load/weight
Extended mode
Off-road, if the vehicle becomes grounded and
traction control is induced, the SLS system
automatically pumps more air to the rear
springs to raise the body clear of the
obstruction, thereby enabling the vehicle to be
freed. This is known as 'Extended mode' and
will cause the off-road warning light to flash.
Once forward motion is regained, the
suspension height will automatically return to
its previous setting and the warning light will
extinguish.
distribution within the vehicle.
DO NOT select off-road height while towing.
