2006 TOYOTA LAND CRUISER light

156
CAUTION
To help maintain maximum control
of your vehicle, do not use the
cruise control when driving in
heavy or varying traffic, or on slip-
pery (rainy, icy or snow
–covered) or
winding roads.
Avoid vehicle speed increases when
driving downhill. If the vehicle
speed is too fast in relation to the
cruise control set speed, cancel the
cruise control then downshift the
transmission to use engine braking
to slow down.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON
To operate the cruise control, push the
“ON −OFF” switch. This turns the system
on. The indicator light in the instrument
panel shows that you can now set the
vehicle at a desired cruising speed. Anoth-
er push on the switch will turn the system
completely off.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control en-
gagement, keep the “ONOFF” switch
off when not using the cruise control.
SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in “D” or “4”
before you set the cruise control speed.
Bring your vehicle to the desired speed,
push the lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion and release it. This sets the vehicle
at that speed.
If the speed is not satisfactory, tap the
lever up for a faster speed, or tap it down
for a slower speed. Each tap changes the
set speed by 1.6 km/h (1.0 mph). You can
now take your foot off the accelerator
pedal.

157
If you need acceleration—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the set speed. When you release it, the
vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by:a. Pulling the control lever in the “CANCEL” direction and releasing it.
b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Pushing the “ON −OFF” switch.
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will auto-
matically cancel out.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the preset speed, the preset
speed will also automatically cancel out.
If the preset speed automatically cancels
out for other than the above cases, have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity. RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction
and hold it. Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. While the lever
is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain
speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
control lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
control lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion.
Even if you downshift the transmission
from the “D” position to “4” with the cruise
control on, engine braking will not be ap-
plied because the cruise control is not
cancelled. To decrease the vehicle speed,
reset to a slower speed with the cruise
control lever or depress the brake pedal.
If you use the brake pedal, cruise control
is cancelled.RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling
the control lever or by depressing the
brake pedal, pushing the lever up in the
“+ RES” direction will restore the speed
set prior to cancellation.
If the preset speed is cancelled when ve-
hicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25
mph), the preset speed will be resumed
when vehicle speed exceeds about 40
km/h (25 mph) again.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes when using the
cruise control, press the “ON
−OFF” switch
to turn the system off and then press it
again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then oc-
curs, there is some trouble in the cruise
control system.
The indicator light does not come on.
The indicator light flashes again.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.

Extra high mode—
This mode is automatically selected
from the high mode with the fourwheel
drive control lever placed in “L” posi-
tion depending on the vehicle driving
condition.
If the vehicle becomes stuck, the vehicle
height rises automatically to the extra high
mode (slightly higher or at about 70 mm
(2.8 in.) higher than normal mode height).
In the following cases, the extra high
mode changes to the high mode automati-
cally:
When your vehicle is no longer stuck.
When the four−wheel drive control lever
is put in a position other than “L”.
When you push the height select switch
on the “
” side in the extra high
mode, the normal mode is selected.
Since the extra high mode is automatically
selected, you cannot select this mode on
purpose with the height select switch. “N” (normal) mode—
The vehicle height in this mode is stan-
dard.
This mode is suitable for ordinary driving.
“LO” (low) mode—
The vehicle height is about 50 mm (2.0
in.) lower at front and about 40 mm
(1.6 in.) lower at rear than the normal
mode height.
This mode allows you easy access to the
vehicle (getting in and out) and easy load-
ing and unloading operation.
This mode is available when the vehicle
is stopped. When you start the vehicle,
the normal mode is automatically selected.
NOTICE
The normal mode is automatically se-
lected when the vehicle begins to
move in the low mode. So be careful
when you drive in any place where
the overhead height is limited.
(b) Automatic leveling function
Regardless of the number of occupants
or the luggage loading condition, the
vehicle height is always automatically
adjusted to a fixed height in any mode.
However, the vehicle height cannot be
raised if the vehicle load exceeds the lim-
its. (See “(d) Vehicle height adjustment”
described below.)

160
(c) Vehicle height mode changingcondition
To change the vehicle height, it is nec-
essary to meet the following 3 condi-
tions.
The engine should be running.
All the side doors and back door
should be closed.
The height control “OFF” indicator
light should go off.
When selecting a mode with the four −
wheel drive control lever at “H”, there is
a vehicle speed limit. Refer to the follow-
ing table.
Yes = The mode can be selected.
No = The mode cannot be selected.

In the following cases the active height
control suspension does not operate
even if the above conditions are all
met.
The brake pedal has been depressed
for longer than about 5 seconds with
the vehicle stopped.
The suspension fluid temperature is
lower than –30 C (–22 F). If the en-
gine is warmed up, the suspension
fluid temperature will be raised as the
inside of the engine compartment be-
comes warmer. Then the active height
control system becomes operable.
Driving on the bumpy roads, which
may cause the suspension to fully
elongate.
The steering wheel is operated abruptly
more than 3/4 turns with center differ-
ential lock system activated.
(d) Vehicle height adjustment
To change the mode, push the height
select switch on either side of
“
”(higher) and “”(lower).
The height control indicator light indicates
which mode is selected. (See “(f) Height
control indicator lights” described below.)

161
NOTICE
If you change the vehicle height fre-
quently, the pump may overheat. To
prevent this, the active height con-
trol suspension should be stopped
temporarily for a minute between
selections. Operate it again.
 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 active
height control suspension becomes
slightly higher than the normal ve-
hicle height. Take sufficient care
where the overhead height is re-
stricted.
The vehicle height cannot be raised if
the vehicle load exceeds the following
limits:
Up to 4 occupants∗ plus about 280 kg
(617 lb.) in the normal mode
Up to 4 occupants∗ plus about 150 kg
(331 lb.) in the high mode
∗: About 75 kg (165 lb.) for a person
If the above load capacity is exceeded,
the desired vehicle height may not be ob-
tained even if the height select switch is
pushed. (If the vehicle height cannot be
raised in the normal mode and the height
control indicator indicates “LO”, this is be-
cause the vehicle is loaded too heavily.
Under these conditions, drive your vehicle
with due care.)
If the vehicle height cannot be raised
even after unloading, push the height se-
lect switch on the “
” side and then on
the “
” side. If this does not work, turn
off the ignition once and then turn on.
Operate the select switch again.
If the vehicle height is adjusted on the
slope, or with the selector lever in a posi-
tion other than “P” or “N” while the vehicle
is stopped, you may hear a sound caused
by the expansion and contraction of the
propeller shaft. Selecting the high mode—
Push the height select switch on the “
”
side when the vehicle speed is under
about 30 km/h (19 mph).
To change the normal mode to high,
push the switch once.
To change the low mode to high, push
the switch twice. It takes about 30 se-
conds until the low mode changes to the
high mode.
Selecting the normal mode—
To change the high mode to normal,
push the height select switch on the “
”
side once.
To change the low mode to normal,
push the height select switch on the “
”
side once.
Selecting the low mode—
Push the height control switch on the
“
” side while the vehicle is stopped.
To change the high mode to low, push
the switch twice.
To change the normal mode to low,
push the switch once.

162
NOTICE
Do not select the low mode in the
bumpy roads. If the underbody of the
vehicle touches the rugged road sur-
face, the vehicle may be damaged.
Even if the engine is stopped while the
vehicle height is being lowered, the op-
eration continues for up to 12 seconds.
(e) Turning off the active height controlsuspension
To turn off the active height control
suspension with the vehicle stopped,
push the height control switch. The
height control “OFF” indicator light
comes on and the vehicle height is
fixed in the same mode as the height
control switch is pushed.
This status is memorized in the system
even after the engine is stopped.
If you push the switch again, the height
control “OFF” indicator light goes out and
the active height control suspension is
turned on.
CAUTION
If you drive through deep water over
about 500 mm (20 in.) in depth, put
the vehicle height in the HI (High)
mode with the active height select
switch and then turn off the active
height control suspension by pushing
the height control switch. Drive your
vehicle at 30 km/h (19 mph) or lower
speed.
NOTICE
 When jacking up or insta lling tire
chains, be sure to turn off the ac-
tive height control suspension and
stop the engine. Otherwise, the ve-
hicle height may change because of
the automatic leveling function, re-
sulting in an accident.
 If your vehicle must be towed, put
the vehicle height in the normal
mode and turn off the active height
control suspension. Otherwise, the
vehicle height may change because
of the automatic leveling function,
resulting in an accident.

163
If your vehicle gets ditched, turn off
the active height control suspension
with the height control switch.
Otherwise, the vehicle height may
change because of the automatic
leveling function, resulting in an ac-
cident.
Even after the active height control
suspension is turned off with the height
control switch, if the vehicle speed ex-
ceeds 30 km (19 mph), the active height
control automatically selects the normal
mode.
(f) Height control indicator lights
1. Height control indicator lights
2. Height control “OFF” indicator light
When the ignition switch is turned on,
all the indicator lights come on. The
indicator light showing the present
mode only remains on and all other
lights go off after a few seconds. This
means the system operates correctly.If you change the vehicle height mode,
the indicator lights change as follows:
When changing the vehicle height from
the normal mode to high: 1. The “N” (normal) mode indicator light goes off and the “HI” (high) mode indi-
cator light blinks.
2. After the vehicle height control reaches the high mode, the high mode indicator
light remains on.

164
With the active height control suspen-
sion turned off, if you operate the
height select switch or the vehicle
height is changing depending on the
vehicle speed, the vehicle height con-
trol enters the ready mode. In this
case, the height control indicator lights
change as follows:1. The present mode indicator light comes on and at the same time the ready
mode indicator light blinks.
2. When the active height control suspen- sion is turned on, the present mode
indicator light goes off and the ready
mode indicator light blinks. (The vehicle
height changes.)
3. After the vehicle height has changed completely, the changed mode indicator
light stays on. If the vehicle is loaded heavily, the ve-
hicle height cannot be raised even if
the height select switch is operated. If
the underbody of the vehicle has
touched the surface on bumpy roads,
the vehicle height cannot be lowered
with the height select switch. The
height control indicator lights change
as follows:
1. The present mode indicator light goes off and the selected mode indicator
light blinks.
2. The selected mode indicator light goes off. (The vehicle height does not
change.) The present mode indicator
light comes on again. Height control “OFF” indicator light:
