Note that the above illustration is for LHD models.
Depending on the number of occupants in the ve-
hicle and the load it is carrying, the headlight axis
may be higher than desired. If the vehicle is travel-
ling on a hilly road, the headlights may directly hit the
rear-view mirror of the vehicle ahead or the wind-
screen of an oncoming vehicle. The light axis can be
lowered using the switch located on the driver’s
side of the instrument panel, next to the steering
wheel.
The higher the number designated on the switch,
the lower the axis.
When travelling with no heavy load on a flat road,
select position 0.

The “Flexi-board” system is a wetjDordryjE dual
surface, and dual position system that allows differ-
ent luggage compartment arrangements. The lug-
gage floor boards can be rearranged as illustrated:
Upper positionjA
This position provides a flat load floor (the rear seat
backs can also be folded forward see “Rear seat” in
the “1. Safety — seats, seat belts and supplemental
restraint system” section). It also serves as a con-
cealed load area for objects placed below the pan-
els.
Lower positionjB
This position maximises the load space in the lug-
gage compartment.
In order to rearrange the “Flexi-board” system lay-
out, proceed as follows:
•Remove the larger panelj1 and slide it into the
lower positionjB).
•Repeat the operation with the smaller panelj2.
Vertical positionsjC
These positions provide further sub-divisions of the
luggage space by standing either one of the boards
vertically in the midway slots provided in the side
trim.
CAUTION
•The carpet finishjE should face up for all dry
use applications.
•The smooth surfacejD should be used only
when loading wet objects.
•Load should be distributed evenly and not ex-
ceed 50 kg (110 lb) on any of the panels.
•To avoid any damage, the panels should be
placed in the lower positionjB for heavy loads
and securely held with ropes or straps to pre-
vent any load shift. See “Utility hooks (where
fitted)” later in this section.
