To raise the vehicle heightÐ
Push the ª
º side of the switch for two
seconds or more. Each time you push the
switch, the vehicle height increases. When
the vehicle height is about 20 mm (0.8
in.) higher than the standard height, the
ªHIº indicator light comes on.
The maximum selectable height is about
40 mm (1.6 in.) higher than the standard
height.
To lower the vehicle heightÐ
Push the ªº side of the switch. Each
time you push the switch, the vehicle
height decreases.
Two±wheel drive modelsÐ
When the vehicle height is about 7.5 mm
(0.3 in.) lower than the standard height,
the ªLOº indicator light comes on.
The minimum selectable height is about
15 mm (0.6 in.) lower than the standard
height.
Four±wheel drive modelsÐ
When the vehicle height is about 15 mm
(0.6 in.) lower than the standard height,
the ªLOº indicator light comes on.
The minimum selectable height is about
30 mm (1.2 in.) lower than the standard
height.If the underbody of the vehicle has
touched the surface on bumpy roads, the
vehicle height cannot be lowered with the
height select switch.
When adjusting the vehicle height with
one or more doors open, make sure that
there is nothing that might come into con-
tact with the vehicle body or around the
doors.
If the vehicle height is adjusted on the
slope, or with the selector lever in a posi-
tion other than ªPº or ªNº while the vehicle
is stopped, you may hear a sound caused
by the expansion and contraction of the
propeller shaft. This does not indicate a
malfunction.
CAUTION
The higher vehicle height should be
only set for severe off±road driving
conditions. Because the vehicle's cen-
ter of gravity is higher in this setting,
the vehicle may become unstable
when turning abruptly, resulting in an
accident.
NOTICE

When lowering the vehicle, the ve-
hicle must be stopped. Otherwise,
when the vehicle speed exceeds 30
km/h (18 mph), automatic control
mode is activated and ªNº is se-
lected automatically. Proper caution
should be taken in places where the
overhead height is limited.

If the vehicle height is changed fre-
quently when the vehicle is heavily
loaded, the compressor may over-
heat, causing the vehicle height ad-
justment operation to stop.

Before you lower the vehicle height
with the height select switch, check
under the vehicle to make sure
nothing to damage the vehicle or
no one to be injured is there and
that the underbody of the vehicle
does not touch the ground.

After unloading, the height of a ve-
hicle equipped with the rear height
control air suspension becomes
slightly higher than the normal ve-
hicle height. Take sufficient care
where the overhead height is re-
stricted.

LOW TIRE PRESSURE WARNING LIGHT
This light comes on when the ignition key
is turned to the ªONº position. It goes off
after a few seconds. This indicates that
the tire pressure warning system is func-
tioning properly.If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on or blinks, do the following.
If the warning light comes on:
Stop your vehicle in a safe place as
soon as possible and check that the
inflation pressure of all tires (including
the spare tire) is as specified on the
tire and loading information label. (See
ªChecking tire inflation pressureº on
page 429 in Section 7±2.) If the warning
light comes on even after tire inflation
pressure adjustment, you may have a
flat tire. If you have a flat tire, replace
it with the spare tire. For details, see
ªIf you have a flat tireº on page 387 in
Section 4.
The warning light goes off a few minutes
after air is put into the deflated tire.
This warning light may turn on due to
natural causes such as natural air leaks
or tire pressure changes caused by tem-
perature. In this case, adjusting the tire
pressure will turn off the warning light.
CAUTION
When the tire pressure warning light
comes on, observe the following in-
structions:

Depending on the conditions, re-
duce to an appropriate speed as
soon as possible.

Adjust the tire pressure to the spe-
cified level as soon as possible.

Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-
vering and braking. Tire deteriora-
tion may reduce steering wheel con-
trol and brake effectiveness. This
may lead to serious injury or death.

The tire pressure warning system
may not activate immediately if sud-
den bursts of air leakage occur.

NOTICE

Do not use liquid sealants for a flat
tire as air pressure sensors will be
damaged.

When the tires must be repaired or
replaced, have them repaired or re-
placed by the nearest Toyota dealer
or authorized tire dealer. The tire
pressure sensors will be affected by
the installation or removal of tires.

The tire pressure warning system is
not to be used as a substitute for
regular inspections. Be sure to
check the air pressure in the tires
on a regular basis.

When the tires must be replaced,
replace the grommets for air pres-
sure sensors as well.
If the warning light blinks:
The tire pressure warning system may
be malfunctioning. Contact your Toyota
dealer.
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
The tire pressure warning system does
not function properly under certain cir-
cumstances. In the following cases, the
low tire pressure warning light may not
come on even if the tire inflation pres-
sure is low, or it may come on when
the tire inflation pressure is actually
normal.

Electric devices or facilities using simi-
lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.

A radio set to similar frequencies is in
use.

A lot of snow or ice covers the ve-
hicle, in particular, around the wheels
or wheel housings.

The tires are not equipped with an air
pressure sensor.

Snow tires or tire chains are used.

Non±genuine Toyota wheels are used.

The sensor battery is expired.

Radio waves from the air pressure sen-
sor installed on the spare tire cannot
be received.
CAUTION

The use of non±genuine wheels will
cause the air pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the sys-
tem failure.

The use of different type of tires
with genuine wheels may also
cause the malfunction of the sys-
tem.

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM
RESET SWITCH
The tire pressure warning system need
to be initialized in the following condi-
tions:

After replacing or rotating tires or
wheels

After replacing an air pressure sen-
sor.
When initializing the system, the pres-
ent tire condition is stored as a stan-
dard.To initialize the system, perform the fol-
lowing:
1. Park the vehicle at a safe place and
apply the parking brake. Stop the en-
gine.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed
tires to the specified level. (See ªTiresº
on page 458 in Section 8.)
3. Turn the ignition key to ªONº.
4. Push and hold the reset switch until
the low tire pressure warning light
blinks three times.
Initialization is completed or over for more
than 20 minutes.
When initializing the system, make sure
the low tire pressure warning light blinks
three times. If the warning light does not
blink three times, initialization will fail and
the tire pressure warning system will not
function properly. In this case, initialize
the system again.
Do not push the reset switch without ad-
justing the tire inflation pressure to the
specified level. Otherwise, the low tire
pressure warning light may not come on
even if the tire pressure is low, or it may
come on when the tire inflation pressure
is actually normal.
If you push the reset switch while the
vehicle is moving, initialization is not per-
formed.

ANTI±LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM
(with ªABSº warning light)
The anti±lock brake system is designed
to help prevent lock±up of the wheels
during a sudden braking or braking on
slippery road surfaces. This assists in
providing directional stability and steer-
ing performance of the vehicle under
these circumstances.
Effective way to press the ABS brake
pedal: When the anti±lock brake system
function is in action, you may feel the
brake pedal pulsating and hear a noise.
In this situation, to let the anti±lock
brake system work for you, just hold the
brake pedal down more firmly. Do not
pump the brake in a panic stop. This
will result in reduced braking performan-
ce.
The anti±lock brake system becomes op-
erative after the vehicle has accelerated
to a speed in excess of approximately 10
km/h (6 mph). It stops operating when the
vehicle decelerates to a speed below
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).Depressing the brake pedal on slippery
road surfaces such as on a manhole cov-
er, a steel plate at a construction site,
joints in a bridge, etc. on a rainy day
tends to activate the anti±lock brake sys-
tem.
You may hear a click or motor sound in
the engine compartment for a few seconds
when the engine is started or just after
the vehicle begins to move. This means
that the anti±lock brake system is in the
self±check mode, and does not indicate a
malfunction.
When the anti±lock brake system is ac-
tivated, the following conditions may
occur. They do not indicate a malfunc-
tion of the system:

You may hear the anti±lock brake sys-
tem operating and feel the brake pedal
pulsating and the vibrations of the ve-
hicle body and steering wheel. You
may also hear the motor sound in the
engine compartment even after the ve-
hicle is stopped.

At the end of the anti±lock brake sys-
tem activation, the brake pedal may
move a little forward.
CAUTION
Do not overestimate the anti±lock
brake system: Although the anti±lock
brake system assists in providing ve-
hicle control, it is still important to
drive with all due care and maintain
a moderate speed and safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you, be-
cause there are limits to the vehicle
stability and effectiveness of steering
wheel operation even with the anti±
lock brake system on.
If tire grip performance exceeds its
capability, or if hydroplaning occurs
during high speed driving in the rain,
the anti±lock brake system does not
provide vehicle control.
Anti±lock brake system is not de-
signed to shorten the stopping dis-
tance: Always drive at a moderate
speed and maintain a safe distance
from the vehicle in front of you.
Compared with vehicles without an
anti±lock brake system, your vehicle
may require a longer stopping dis-
tance in the following cases:

Driving on rough, gravel or snow±
covered roads.
