cause the driver to mishandle the ve-
hicle and an accident may occur re-
sulting in death or serious personal
injuries.

tion.

parking brake is applied when the igni-
tion key is in the “ON” position.

ignition key is turned on with the park-
ing brake released.

occurs, immediately stop your vehicle
at a safe place and contact your
Toyota dealer.

1: Height control mode select switch
2: Height control switch
This rear height control air suspension
controls the vehicle height depending
on vehicle driving conditions.
You can choose automatic control mode
or manual control mode. In automatic
control mode, you can select the ve-
hicle height between “HI” (high), “N”
(normal) and “LO” (low) modes with the
height control switch. In manual control
mode, you can adjust the vehicle height
seamlessly with the height control
switch.
To change the mode between automatic
control mode and manual control mode,
use the height control mode select switch.The vehicle height is automatically ad-
justed to a selected height mode. Howev-
er, when the front drive control is in “4LO”
mode, the vehicle height cannot be ad-
justed automatically even if the vehicle
condition changes, but height mode can
be changed manually with the height con-
trol switch.
(a) Vehicle height modes
“N” (normal) mode—
The vehicle height in this mode is stan-
dard. Regardless of the number of occu-
pants or the luggage loading condition, the
vehicle height is always automatically ad-
justed to a fixed height in this mode while
the engine is running.
This mode is suitable for ordinary driving.
“HI” (high) mode—
The vehicle height is about 40 mm (1.6
in.) higher at rear than “N” mode height.
This mode is suitable when driving on
bumpy roads and through water.
However, when the vehicle speed exceeds
30 km/h (18 mph) in “HI” mode, “N” mode
is automatically selected.
CAUTION
“HI” mode should be only used for
severe offroad driving conditions.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravi-
ty is higher in this setting, the ve-
hicle may become unstable when
turning abruptly, resulting in an acci-
dent.

TONE AND BALANCE
For details about your system’s tone and
balance controls, see the description of
your own system.
Tone
How good an audio program sounds to
you is largely determined by the mix of
the treble, midrange, and bass levels. In
fact, different kinds of music and vocal
programs usually sound better with differ-
ent mixes of treble, midrange, and bass.
Balance
A good balance of the left and right stereo
channels and of the front and rear sound
levels is also important.
Keep in mind that if you are listening to
a stereo recording or broadcast, changing
the right/left balance will increase the vol-
ume of one group of sounds while de-
creasing the volume of another.YOUR RADIO ANTENNA
Your vehicle has an antenna printed on
the inside of the rear quarter window.
NOTICE
Attaching the film (especially conduc-
tive or metallic type) on the rear
quarter glass will noticeably reduce
the sensitivity of the radio.
YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER
When you insert a cassette, the exposed
tape should face to the right.
NOTICE
Do not oil any part of the player and
do not insert anything other than cas-
sette tapes into the slot, or the tape
player may be damaged.
YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER (type 1)
When you insert a disc, gently push it in
with the label side up. (The player will
automatically eject a disc if the label side
is down.) The player will play from track
1 through the end of the disc. Then it will
play from track 1 again.
NOTICE
Never try to disassemble or oil any
part of the compact disc player. Do
not insert anything other than com-
pact discs into the slot.
The player is intended for use with 12 cm
(4.7 in.) discs only.
