2 sets of tire pressure warning valve and
transmitter ID codes can be registered.
Once a second set of tires is registered
at “2nd”, you can switch between tire set
settings simply by pressing the tire pres-
sure warning select switch. There are 2 settings
“MAIN” position: The ID code of the tire
pressure warning valve and transmitter on
the tires originally installed on the vehicle
is registered.
“2nd” position: The code is not registered.
When you replace a new set of tires,
purchase tire pressure warning valves and
transmitters from your Toyota dealer and
have the new ID code registered by your
Toyota dealer.
If the tire pressure select switch is set to
the wrong tire setting, the system will not
work properly. After about 1 hour, the tire
pressure warning light blinks to indicate a
system malfunction.

brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold-
ing power, first depress the brake pedal
and hold it while setting the parking
brake.
To release: Pull up the lever slightly (1),
press the lock release button (2), and low-
er (3).
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in
the instrument panel remains on until you
release the parking brake.

CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.
Cruise control
The cruise control is designed to main-
tain a set cruising speed without requir-
ing the driver to operate the accelera-
tor. Cruising speed can be set to any
speed above 40 km/h (25 mph).
Within the limits of the engine’s capabili-
ties, cruising speed can be maintained up
or down grades. However, changes in ve-
hicle speed may occur on steeper grades.
When the cruise control is on, the driving
pattern of the automatic transmission is
fixed in the normal position, regardless of
the position of the driving pattern selector
switch.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.

165
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF
To turn the cruise control on, press the
“ON−OFF” button. The “CRUISE” indicator
light on the instrument panel will come on
to indicate that the cruise control is opera-
tional. Pressing the “ON −OFF” button
again turns the system off.
When the system is turned off, cruising
speed must be reset when the cruise con-
trol is turned on again.
CAUTION
To avoid accidentally engaging the
cruise control, turn the system off
when it is not in use. Make sure the
“CRUISE” indicator light is off.
SETTING THE CRUISING SPEED
The transmission must be in “D” or “4”
before you set the cruising 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.

166
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 CRUISE CONTROL
The cruise control may be temporarily
cancelled by the driver or by the system
itself under certain circumstances. Tempo-
rary cancellation allows the set cruising
speed to remain in memory.
The cruise control can be temporarily can-
celled by doing the following:
Pulling the lever in the “CANCEL”
direction and releasing it
Depressing the brake pedal
Under certain circumstances, the cruise
control is temporarily cancelled:
When vehicle speed falls below 40
km/h (25 mph)
When vehicle stability control is acti-
vated
When vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the set speed, the cruise con-
trol is cancelled and the set speed is
erased from memory. The “CRUISE” indicator light remains on
to indicate that the system is still in op-
eration.
To turn the cruise control off, push the
“ON
−OFF” button. Make sure the
“CRUISE” indicator light is off.
If the cruise control automatically cancels
out other than for the above cases, have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity.
RESUMING THE CRUISE CONTROL
If the cruise control is temporarily can-
celled, the cruising speed can be resumed
by pushing the lever up in the “+ RES”
direction.
Vehicle speed must be above 40 km/h (25
mph).
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.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light flashes
when using the cruise control, press the
“ON
−OFF” button 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.

167

The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.
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. 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.

169
(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.)(c) Vehicle height mode changing
condition
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.

170
(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.)
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.
