seconds.

can only be lowered (only the “∨” side of the switch can be operated).
This switch can only be operated when the back door is open.
●Height control off switch
When the vehicle is stopped with the “ENGINE START STOP” switch in IGNI-
TION ON mode, vehicle height control can be disabled/re-enabled.
■When changing vehicle height modes
Before operating the height selector switch to raise/lower the vehicle height,
ensure that there are no objects in the surrounding area that could damage the
vehicle.
■When “N” mode is selected
During high speed driving, the vehicle height will automatically change to that of
“LO” mode.

km/h (31 mph) or when vehicle speed has exceeded 30 km/h (19 mph) for approx-
imately 10 seconds. Even if vehicle speed is reduced below 30 km/h (19 mph), the
vehicle height will not automatically return to “HI” mode.
■When “LO” mode is selected
The vehicle height will change to that of “N” mode when the engine is restarted.

■Rear view monitor system camera
■Smear effectThe rear view monitor system camera is
located on the back door as shown in the
illustration.
In the following cases, it may become difficult
to see the images on the screen, even when
the system is functioning correctly.
●The vehicle is in a dark area, such as at
night.
●The temperature near the lens is
extremely high or low.
●Water droplets are on the camera lens
or humidity is high, such as when it
rains.
●Foreign matter, such as snow or mud,
adheres to the camera lens.
●The sun or headlights are shining
directly into the camera lens.
●A bright object such as a white wall is
reflected in the mirror surface over the
monitor.
●The camera has scratches or dirt on it.
If a bright light, such as sunlight reflected
off the vehicle body, is picked up by the
camera, a smear effect* characteristic to
the camera may occur.
*: Smear effect  A phenomenon that
occurs when a bright light is picked up by
the camera; when transmitted by the
camera, the light source appears to have
a vertical streak above and below it.

■Flicker effect
When the camera is used under fluorescent light, sodium lights, or mercury lights
etc., the lights and the illuminated areas may appear to flicker.
CAUTION
■When using the rear view monitor system, observe the following precautions to
avoid an accident that could result in death or serious injuries:
●Never depend solely on the monitor system when reversing.
●Always check visually and with the mirrors to confirm your intended path is clear.
●Use your own eyes to confirm the vehicle’s surroundings, as the displayed image
may become faint or dark, and moving images will be distorted, or not entirely
visible when the outside temperature is low. When backing up, be sure to check
behind and all around the vehicle visually and with the mirrors before proceeding.
●Always check the vehicle surrounding area, because the guide lines are ancillary
lines.
●The guide lines are ancillary lines and do not change even if the steering wheel is
turned.
●Depicted distances between objects and flat surfaces differ from actual dis-
tances.
●Do not use the system if the back door is open.

4-1. Maintenance and care
Cleaning and protecting the vehicle exterior
■Automatic car washes
●Before washing the vehicle:
•Fold the mirrors.
• Turn off the power back door system (if equipped).
●Brushes used in automatic car washes may scratch the vehicle surface and
harm your vehicle’s paint.
●In certain automatic car washes, the rear spoiler may interfere with machine
operation. This may prevent the vehicle from being cleaned properly or result in
damage to the rear spoiler.
■High pressure car washes
●Do not allow the nozzles of the car wash to come within close proximity of the
windows and the air suspension unit (if equipped).
●Before using the car wash, check that the fuel filler door on your vehicle is
closed properly.
Perform the following to protect the vehicle and maintain it in prime condi-
tion:
●Working from top to bottom, liberally apply water to the vehicle
body, wheel wells and underside of the vehicle to remove any dirt
and dust.
●Wash the vehicle body using a sponge or soft cloth, such as a
chamois.
●For hard-to-remove marks, use car wash soap and rinse thor-
oughly with water.
●Wipe away any water.
●Wax the vehicle when the waterproof coating deteriorates.
If water does not bead on a clean surface, apply wax when the vehicle
body is cool.
