Make sure the front passenger oc-
cupant classification indicator light
indicates “ON” when using the seat
belt extender for the front passen-
ger seat. If the indicator light indi-
cates “OFF”, disconnect the extend-
er tongue from the seat belt buckle,
then reconnect the seat belt. Recon-
nect the seat belt extender after
making sure the indicator light indi-
cates “ON”. If you use the seat belt
extender while the indicator light
indicates “OFF”, the front passen-
ger airbag and side airbag on the
front passenger side may not acti-
vate correctly, which could cause
death or serious injury in the event
of collision.
Do not use the seat belt extender
if it is not absolutely necessary.
Do not use the seat belt extender
when installing a child restraint
system on the front or rear passen-
ger seat. If installing a child re-
straint system with the seat belt
extender connected to the seat belt,
the seat belt will not securely hold
the child restraint system, which
could cause death or serious injury
to the child or other passengers in
the event of collision.
To connect the extender to the seat
belt, insert the tab into the seat belt
buckle so that the “PRESS” signs on
the buckle release buttons of the ex-
tender and the seat belt are both facing
outward as shown.
You will hear a click when the tab locks
into the buckle.
When releasing the seat belt, press on
the buckle release button on the extender,
not on the seat belt. This helps prevent
damage to the vehicle interior and extend-
er itself.

The SRS front airbag system consists
mainly of the following components, and
their locations are shown in the illustra-
tion.1. Front airbag sensors
2. SRS warning light
3. Airbag module for front passenger (airbag and inflator)
4. Front passenger occupant classification indicator light
5. Front passenger occupant classification system (ECU and sensors)
6. Front passenger ’s seat belt buckle switch
7. Driver ’s seat belt buckle switch 8. Driver ’s seat position sensor
9. Airbag sensor assembly
10. Airbag module for driver (airbag and inflator)
The airbag sensor assembly consists of a
safing sensor and airbag sensor.
The front airbag sensors constantly moni-
tor the forward deceleration of the vehicle.
If an impact results in a forward decelera-
tion beyond the designed threshold level,
the system triggers the airbag inflators. At
this time a chemical reaction in the inflat-
ors very quickly fills the airbags with non −
toxic gas to help restrain the forward mo-
tion of the occupants. The front airbags
then quickly deflate, so that there is no
obstruction of the driver’s vision should it
be necessary to continue driving.
When the airbags inflate, they produce a
loud noise and release some smoke and
residue along with non −toxic gas. This
does not indicate a fire. This smoke may
remain inside the vehicle for some time,
and may cause some minor irritation to
the eyes, skin or breathing. Be sure to
wash off any residue as soon as possible
to prevent any potential skin irritation with
soap and water. If you can safely exit
from the vehicle, you should do so imme-
diately. Deployment of the airbags happens in a
fraction of a second, so the airbags must
inflate with considerable force. While the
system is desi
gned to reduce serious inju-
ries, primarily to the head and chest, it
may also cause other, less severe injuries
to the face, chest, arms and hands. These
are usually in the nature of minor burns
or abrasions and swelling, but the force of
a deploying airbag can cause more seri-
ous injuries, especially if an occupant’s
hands, arms, chest or head is in close
proximity to the airbag module at the time
of deployment. This is why it is important
for the occupant to: avoid placing any
object or part of the body between the
occupant and the airbag module; sit
straight and well back into the seat; wear
the available seat belt properly; and sit as
far as possible from the airbag module,
while still maintaining control of the ve-
hicle.
Parts of the airbag module (steering wheel
hub, airbag cover and inflator) may be hot
for several minutes after deployment, so
do not touch! The airbags inflate only
once. The windshield may be damaged by
absorbing some of the force of the inflat-
ing airbag.

(a) Brake System Warning Light andBuzzer
This light comes on in the following cases
when the ignition key is in the “ON” posi-
tion.
When the parking brake is applied...
This light comes on for a few seconds
when the ignition key is in the “ON” posi-
tion even after the parking brake is re-
leased.
When the brake fluid level is low...
CAUTION
It is dangerous to continue driving
normally when the brake fluid level is
low.
When the hydraulic brake booster
fails...
If the hydraulic booster causes an problem
resulting in poor braking performance, the
warning light comes on and buzzer sounds
continuously. Have your vehicle checked at your
Toyota dealer in the following cases:
The light does not come on even if the
parking brake is applied when the igni-
tion key is in the “ON” position.
The light does not come on even if the
ignition key is turned on with the park-
ing brake released.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If any of the following conditions oc-
cur, immediately stop your vehicle at
a safe place and contact your Toyota
dealer.
The light does not turn off even
after the parking brake is released
while the engine is running.
The warning buzzer comes on to-
gether with the warning light.
In either case, this can indicate that
the brakes may not work properly and
your stopping distance will become
longer. Depress the brake pedal firmly
and bring the vehicle to an immediate
stop.
The brake system warning light re-
mains on together with the “ABS”
warning light.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.
Any of the following conditions may oc-
cur, but do not indicate a malfunction:
The light may stay on for about 60
seconds after the ignition key is turned
to “ON” position. It is normal if it goes
out after a while.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the warning light and
buzzer. It is normal if the light goes
out and the buzzer stops sounding af-
ter a few seconds.
You may hear a small sound in the
engine compartment after the engine is
started or the brake pedal is depressed
repeatedly. This is a pump pulsating
sound of the brake system, and it is
not a malfunction.

137
(h) SRS Warning Light
This indicator comes on when the igni-
tion key is turned to the “ON” position.
It goes off after about 6 seconds. This
means the SRS airbags and seat belt
pretensioners are operating properly.
The warning light system monitors the air-
bag sensor assembly, front airbag sen-
sors, side and curtain shield airbag sensor
assemblies, curtain shield airbag sensor
assemblies, driver ’s seat position sensor,
driver’s seat belt buckle switch, front pas-
senger occupant classification system and
indicator light, front passenger ’s seat belt
buckle switch, seat belt pretensioner as-
semblies, inflators, roll sensing of curtain
shield airbags off indicator light, intercon-
necting wiring and power sources.
If any of the following conditions occurs,
this indicates a malfunction of the airbags
or seat belt pretensioners. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion or remains on for more than 6
seconds or flashes.
The light comes on or flashes while
driving.The SRS warning light will come on and
front passenger occupant classification in-
dicator light will indicate “OFF” if there is
a malfunction in the front passenger occu-
pant classification system.
(i) “ABS” Warning Light
The light comes on when the ignition
key is turned to the “ON” position. If
the antilock brake system and the
brake assist system work properly, the
light turns off after a few seconds.
Thereafter, if either of the systems mal-
functions, the light comes on again.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti
−lock brake system, the brake assist
system, the vehicle stability control sys-
tem and/or active traction control system
do/does not operate, but the brake system
still operates conventionally.
When the “ABS” warning light is on (and
the brake system warning light is off), the
anti −lock brake system does not operate
so that the wheels could lock up during
a sudden braking or braking on slippery
road surfaces. If either of the following conditions oc-
curs, this indicates a malfunction some-
where in the components monitored by
the warning light system. Contact your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible to
service the vehicle.
The light does not come on when the
ignition key is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion, or remains on.
The light comes on while you are driv-
ing.
A warning light turning on briefly during
operation does not indicate a problem.
CAUTION
If the “ABS” warning light remains on
together with the brake system warn-
ing light, immediately stop your ve-
hicle at a safe place and contact your
Toyota dealer.
In this case, not only the antilock
brake system will fail but also the
vehicle will become extremely unsta-
ble during braking.

139
(n) Vehicle Stability Control System andActive Traction Control System
Warning Light
This light warns that there is a problem
somewhere in the vehicle stability control
system and/or active traction control sys-
tem.
If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light come on, have your
vehicle checked by Toyota dealer as soon
as possible. However, it is no problem
that the “VSC/TRAC” warning light comes
on when the brake actuator temperature
becomes high. (For details, see “Active
traction control system” on page 152.)
The lights will come on with the ignition
key turned to “ON”, and will go off after
a few seconds.
The lights may come on for 60 seconds
after the ignition key is turned to “ON”
position. It is normal if they go out after
a whi l e.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the lights. it is normal if they
go out after a few seconds. When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“VSC OFF” indicator light come on, the
vehicle stability control system and/or ac-
tive traction control system are not operat-
ing, but there is no problem if you contin-
ue to drive.
(o) Key Reminder Buzzer
This buzzer acts as a reminder to remove
the key when you open the driver’s door
with the ignition key in the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position.
CHECKING SERVICE REMINDER INDICA-
TORS (except the low fuel level warning
light)
1. Apply the parking brake.
2. Open one of the side doors or back door.
The open door warning light should
come on.
3. Close the door. The open door warning light should go
off. 4. Place the four
−wheel drive control lever
in “N” position and the selector lever
in “P” position and turn the ignition key
to “ACC”.
The “A/T P” should come on. It goes
off when you place the four −wheel
drive control lever in “H” or “L” posi-
tion.
5. Turn the ignition key to “ON”, but do not start the engine.
All the service reminder indicators ex-
cept the open door warning light should
come on. The “ABS”, “VSC/TRAC”,
“VSC OFF”, “TRAC”, front passenger
occupant classification indicator light
and slip indicator light go off after a
few seconds. The SRS warning light
goes off after about 6 seconds.
There may be the case that the “ABS”,
“VSC/TRAC” and “VSC OFF” stay on
for about 60 seconds after the ignition
key is turned to “ON” position. It is
normal if they go out after a while.
If any service reminder indicator or warn-
ing buzzer does not function as described
above, have it checked by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible.

153
The brake actuator temperature increases
during the active traction control system
or vehicle stability control system operat-
ing. If the brake actuator temperature be-
comes too high while the active traction
control system or vehicle stability control
system is operating, a buzzer will start to
sound intermittently to indicate that the
active traction control system can no lon-
ger operate. In this case, immediately stop
your vehicle at a safe place. If the system
continues to operate, the buzzer sound
changes from intermittent to continuous.
(The continuous buzzer sounds for about
3 seconds.) At the time, the “VSC/TRAC”
warning light will come on and the active
traction control system temporarily stops
operating in order to protect the brake
actuator. (Although the active traction con-
trol system does not operate, there is no
problem to continue your driving.) The
system will be automatically restored after
a short time and “VSC/TRAC” warning
light goes off if the accelerator pedal is
released.
When the “ABS” warning light come on,
the active traction control system is not
operating.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light will come
on when the ignition key is turned “ON”,
and will go off after a few seconds.The “VSC/TRAC” warning light may stay
on for 60 seconds after the ignition key
is turned to “ON” position. It is normal if
it goes off after a few seconds.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the “VSC/TRAC” warning
light. It is normal if it goes off after a few
seconds.
When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light
comes on the active traction control sys-
tem is not operating, but there is no prob-
lem if you continue to drive.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light does not
come on after the ignition key is turned
“ON”.
The “VSC/TRAC” remains on after the
ignition key is turned “ON”.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicles and
power to 4 wheels may not be main-
tained, even though the active trac-
tion control system is in operation.
Do not drive the vehicle under any
speed or maneuvering conditions
which will cause the vehicle to lose
traction. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the road conditions pres-
ent.

156
When the “ABS” warning light comes on,
the vehicle stability control system is not
operating.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light will come on when the
ignition key is turned “ON”, and will go off
after a few seconds.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light may stay on for 60
seconds after the ignition key is turned to
“ON” position. It is normal if they go off
after a few seconds.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the lights. It is normal if they
go off after a few seconds.
When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“VSC OFF” indicator light come on, the
vehicle stability control system is not op-
erating, but there is no problem if you
continue to drive.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light, “VSC
OFF” indicator light and slip indicator
light do not come on after the ignition
key is turned “ON”.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“VSC OFF” indicator light remain on af-
ter the ignition key is turned “ON”.
The “VSC OFF” indicator light comes
on while driving without pushing the
center differential lock switch.The tire pressure warning system warns
you that the tire inflation pressure is
low.
The tire pressure warning system is not
a substitute for checking normal tire infla-
tion pressure. Check the tire inflation
pressure with a tire pressure gauge regu-
larly.
CAUTION
The warning system may not activate
immediately if bursts or sudden air
leakage should occur.
16C521a
The tire pressure warning light comes on
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and goes off after a few
seconds. This means the tire pressure
warning light is operating properly. If the
tire inflation pressure becomes low, the
light comes on again. In this case, adjust-
ing the tire inflation pressure will turn off
the light after a few minutes. If the light
blinks, the tire pressure warning system is
not working properly.

(i) Installing or removing heavy equip-
ment
If you install or remove heavy equipment
exceeding 15 kg (33 lb.), the front torsion
bar should be adjusted. Consult your To-
yota dealer.
(j) Active height control failure warning
If there is a problem somewhere in the
active height control suspension, the nor-
mal mode is automatically selected. If this
occurs, the height control “OFF” indicator
light blinks and the vehicle height control
cannot be activated until the malfunction
is corrected.
Stop the engine and start it again. If the
height control “OFF” indicator light goes
out, the active height control suspension
returns to normal. If the height control
“OFF” indicator blinks again, bring your
vehicle to your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible and have it checked.
This skyhook TEMS adjusts the damp-
ing effect on the shock absorbers with
the damping mode select switch. Select
one of the 4 modes which is suited to
the driving conditions with the damping
mode select switch to provide good rid-
ing comfort and stability.
1. For driving on a bumpy road
2. For ordinary driving such as in the city traffic
3. For moderate high speed driving
4. For sporty type driving such as on winding mountain roads and high speed
driving We recommend you to select the mode 2
for ordinary driving. The damping effect
will be changed automatically to provide
good riding comfort.
When your vehicle is loaded heavily or
you are driving in an unpaved road, the
mode 3 or 4 will be recommended. To
provide good vehicle stability, the damping
effect will be harder than for ordinary driv-
ing mode.
With the four
−wheel drive control lever at
“L”, the damping effect suitable for off −
road driving will be harder in any mode.
