If the vehicle is going to skid during driv-
ing, the slip indicator light flashes and an
alarm sounds intermittently.
When you turn the ignition switch on, the
slip indicator light will come on. The slip
indicator light will go off after a few sec-
onds.Pushing the center differential lock button
automatically turns the vehicle stability
control system off. At this time, the “VSC
OFF” indicator comes on with the center
differential lock indicator light. (For details,
see “Four−wheel drive system—(a)Four −
wheel drive control” on page 141.)Vehicle stability control system failure
warning
These lights warn when there is a prob-
lem somewhere in the vehicle stability
control system or active traction control
system.
If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light come on, have your
vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible. However, there is no
problem if the “VSC/TRAC” warning light
comes on when the brake actuator tem-
perature becomes high. (For details, see
“Active traction control system” on page
144.)

149
Stop your vehicle at a safe place as soon
as possible and check that the tire infla-
tion pressure is as specified on the tire
and loading information label. If the low
tire pressure warning light comes on even
after tire inflation pressure adjustment, it
is probable that you have a flat tire. If
the tire goes flat, change to the spare
tire. (See page 275.)
The spare tire is not equipped with the
tire pressure sensor. So, the low tire
pressure warning light remains on even if
the spare tire is mounted.
The light goes off a few minutes after air
is put into the deflated tire.CAUTION
If the low tire pressure warning light
comes on, observe the following in-
structions:
Decelerate as soon as possible to
the most appropriate speed that
conditions permit.
Avoid abrupt steering wheel maneu-
vering and braking. If the vehicle
tires deteriorate, you could lose
control of the steering wheel or the
brakes, causing death or serious in-
jury.
The warning system may not acti-
vate immediately if bursts or sud-
den air leakage should occur.
Each tire, including the spare (if pro-
vided), should be checked monthly
when cold and inflated to the inflation
pressure recommended by the vehicle
manufacture on the vehicle placard or
tire inflation pressure label. (If your
vehicle has tires of a different size
than the size indicated on the vehicle
placard or tire inflation pressure la-
bel, you should consult the appropri-
ate section of the owner ’s manual to
determine the proper tire inflation
pressure.) When the low tire pressure
telltale is illuminated, one or more of
your tires is significantly underin-
flated. You should stop and check
your tires as soon as possible, and
inflate them to the proper pressure as
indicated on the vehicle’s tire infor-
mation placard. Driving on a signifi-
cantly underinflated tire causes the
tire to overheat and can lead to tire
failure. Underinflation also reduces
fuel efficiency and tire tread life, and
may affect the vehicle’s handling and
stopping ability.

151
SYSTEM MALFUNCTION
If the low tire pressure warning light
blinks, it indicates a system malfunc-
tion. Contact your Toyota dealer.
The system will be disabled in the condi-
tions below:
Electric devices or facilities using simi-
lar radio wave frequencies are nearby.
If a radio set at similar frequencies is
in use.
Much snowflakes or ice gets on the
vehicle, in particular, around the wheels
or wheel housings.
Non−genuine Toyota wheels are used.
Snow tires or tire chains are used.
The sensor battery is expired.
The tires not equipped with tire pres-
sure sensor are used.
Radio waves from the air pressure sen-
sor installed on the spare tire cannot
be received.
Although the tires are equipped with
tire pressure sensors, the selector
switch (see page 154) is set to other
tire setting.
NOTICE
 The use of nongenuine wheels will
cause the tire pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the fail-
ure of the system.
 The use of tires other than origi-
nally installed with genuine wheels
may also cause the malfunction of
the system.

—Replacing tires and wheels
As you might have difficulty in locating
a flat or deflated tire, a tire pressure
warning system should be installed on
the tires of this vehicle.
When replacing the wheels, be sure to
install tire pressure sensors on the
wheels.
There are 3 ways to set up the tire pres-
sure sensors: a. Remove the sensor from the old wheel and install it to the new wheel.
b. Keep the same wheel with tire pres- sure sensor and replace the tire alone.
c. Use a new wheel and sensor.
You have to register an ID code for a
new sensor. Up to 2 sets of codes
can be registered. As one ID for the
originally installed sensor is registered
at “MAIN” of the selector switch, use
the “2nd” position to register an ID for
the new sensor.
You do not need to re −register the ID
code for any other replacements. For
the use of the originally installed tires,
put the selector switch at “MAIN” and
for the use of tires set purchased later,
put the switch at “2nd”. For the sen-
sor selector switch, see page 154.NOTICE
 Have the tires, wheels or sensors
replaced and ID codes registered by
Toyota dealer. If you need sensors,
purchase from Toyota dealer.
 The sensor nuts should always be
tightened to a torque of 4 N·m (0.4
kgf·m, 2.9 ft·lbf).
 The use of nongenuine wheels will
cause the tire pressure sensors to
transmit the electronic code in dif-
ferent manner, resulting in the fail-
ure of the system.
 Initialization should be performed
with the tires adjusted with the
tires adjusted at the specified set
tire inflation pressure. If they are
not adjusted properly, tire inflation
pressure to be warned will not be
appropriate. It takes about 20 min-
utes for initialization. Leave the
ignition on for about 20 minutes
after initialization.

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING SYSTEM RE-
SET SWITCH
The tire pressure warning system needs
to be initialized in the following condi-
tions:
After changing the set pressure
along with the change of the loading
condition or vehicle speed condition
After replacing the ECU
After replacing or tires or wheels
After replacing the tire 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
“Tires” on page 344.)
3. Start the engine.
4. Push and hold the reset switch until the low tire pressure warning light
blinks three times.
Do not turn the engine off for about 20
minutes until initialization is complete.
16C522a
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 failed 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 inflation 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.

154
If the low tire pressure warning light does
not blink when you push and hold the
reset switch, have the tire pressure warn-
ing system checked at your Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
Do not turn the engine switch off
during initialization, or the system
may not function properly due to
incomplete initialization.
 Check which tires are being used
before initialization of the system,
and also check the selector switch
position. (See the following “Selec-
tor switch”.)
—Selector switch
16C524a
1. Main position
2. 2nd position
The selector switch is located in the
glove box.
The ID code is given in the tire pres-
sure sensor. To activate the tire pres-
sure warning system, it is necessary to
register the ID code of the sensor on
the selector switch in the vehicle.
2 sets of ID codes can be registered.
The code of the tires originally installed
on the vehicle is registered on the switch
at “MAIN”. Have a new tires set with
new tire pressure sensors registered at
“2nd” by Toyota dealer. ID codes should be registered by Toyota
dealer. Once registered, change the set-
ting position each time you purchase tires
and wheels. Re
−registration is not re-
quired.
When purchasing new tires, consult your
Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
When the tires whose ID code is
registered at “MAIN” are used, the
system does not work properly with
the selector switch set at “2nd”. If
the tires whose ID code is registered
at “2nd” are stored nearby, the sys-
tem will detect their tire inflation
pressure (and vice versa).

This active height control suspension
controls the vehicle height depending
on the vehicle driving condition. Select
your desired height among the “HI”
(high), “N” (normal) and “LO” (low)
modes with the height select switch.(a) Vehicle height modes
“HI” (high) mode—
The vehicle height is about 40 mm (1.6
in.) higher at front and about 50 mm
(2.0 in.) higher at rear than the normal
mode height.
This mode is suitable when driving on the
bumpy roads and through water.
This mode is available when the vehicle
speed is under about 30 km/h (19 mph).
CAUTION
The “HI” (high) or “Extra high” mode
should be used for severe offroad
driving condition only. Because the
vehicle’s center of gravity is higher in
this setting, the vehicle may become
unstable when turning abruptly, re-
sulting in an accident.
When the four
−wheel drive control lever is
put at “L”, this mode may change to the
extra high mode automatically in accor-
dance with the driving condition. When the vehicle exceeds the specified
vehicle speed, the vehicle height
changes to the following:
With the fourwheel drive control lever
at “H” and at the vehicle speed of 30
km/h (19 mph) or over,
the normal mode
is automatically selected.
With the fourwheel drive control lever
at “L” and at the vehicle speed of 50
km/h (30 mph) or over, the vehicle height
becomes automatically about 25 mm (1.0
in.) higher than the normal mode height.
If the vehicle speed is lowered about 20
km/h (12 mph) or less after that, the high
mode automatically resumes.

159
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.)
