ELECTRONICALLY MODULATED
AIR SUSPENSION
(U.S.A. ONLY)
This electronically modulated air suspension adjusts
the damping effect on the shock absorbers and the
vehicle height. This adjustment is automatically made
in response to the driving conditions to provide good
riding comfort and stability in all driving conditions.
(a) Vehicle height adjustment
This system maintains a stable vehicle height,
regardless of occupants and luggage weight. You can
select one of the following modes using a selector
switch.

STARTING AND DRIVING
140ªNORMALº mode ± For driving on roads with a normal
surface.
ªHIGHº mode ± For driving on rough roads which are
unsurfaced or continually bumpy.
The damping effect is set slightly firmer in ªHIGHº mode. So
you may feel the vibration of the vehicle compared to in
ªNORMALº mode. However, this does not mean a
malfunction in the system. We recommend you use a
ªNORMALº mode in normal driving.
To change the mode, push the selector switch.
ªNORMALº mode
The vehicle height remains at normal height at all driving
speeds.
ªHIGHº mode
The vehicle height switches between the following two
vehicle heights according to the driving conditions:
Vehicle height
Driving condition
NormalMedium and high speed driving
HighLow speed driving
The indicator light shows ªHIGHº mode is selected.
When you turn the ignition key to the ªONº position, the
indicator light will come on for 2 seconds in any mode.
NOTICE
For vehicles equipped with the height control switch,
be sure to turn the ignition switch off before jacking.
If this is not done, the vehicle height adjustment
function will operate, which may cause body
damage.
(b) Malfunction warning
If the ªHIº indicator light blinks, there is a malfunction in this
system. Have the system checked by your Lexus dealer at
the first opportunity.
