(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.

Height control “OFF” indicator light:
When the ignition switch is turned on, this
light comes on. If it goes out after a few
seconds, the active height control suspen-
sion operates correctly. If you push the
height control switch, the active height
control is turned off. The height control
“OFF” indicator light comes on.
In the following cases, there is a problem
somewhere in your active height control
suspension. Although there is no problem
to continue normal driving, have the active
height control suspension checked by your
Toyota dealer as soon as possible.
The height control “OFF” indicator light
does not come on when the ignition
switch is turned on.
The height control “OFF” indicator light
blinks.(g) Operation in cold weather
The active height control suspension
does not operate in cold weather when
the suspension fluid temperature drops
below –30
C (–22 F).
In this case, operating the height control
switch does not change the vehicle height.
The vehicle height control enters the
ready mode and the selected height con-
trol indicator light blinks. The active height
control becomes operable if the engine is
warmed up with the suspension fluid tem-
perature being raised within normal operat-
ing limits. The vehicle changes to the se-
lected height when the vehicle height
control is in the ready mode.
When the suspension fluid temperature is
around –30 C (–22 F), the vehicle height
cannot be raised even within the available
load capacity. After warming up the en-
gine, push the control switch on the “
”
side once and then on the “
” side to
select the desired vehicle height.
It takes longer to change the vehicle
height when the suspension fluid tem-
perature drops below –15 C (5 F). (h) Parking and stopping tips
If you immediately stop the engine to park
the vehicle after off
−road driving, the ve-
hicle height is lowered slightly as the ve-
hicle becomes cool. When parking, make
sure there is nothing that will be in con-
tact with the underbody of the vehicle.
When you start the engine, the vehicle
returns to the previous height.
If you park the vehicle for a long time,
the vehicle height may be gradually low-
ered. When parking for a long time, make
sure there is nothing that will be in con-
tact with the underbody of the vehicle.
When you start the engine, the vehicle
returns to the previous height.
If you stop the engine, the vehicle height
may change in accordance with the
change in the temperature. When you
start the engine, the vehicle returns to the
previous height.

Limitedslip differential
Some Toyotas are equipped with a lim-
ited−slip differential. If one of the rear
wheels begins to spin, the limited −slip dif-
ferential is designed to aid traction by
automatically transmitting driving force to
the other rear wheel. If you are not sure
whether your vehicle is equipped with one,
you can ask your Toyota dealer.
CAUTION
Do not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is supported by a jack.
The vehicle could be driven off the
jack and could pose a danger or re-
sult in serious injury.
NOTICE
Use only a spare tire of the same
size, construction and load capacity
as the original tires on your Toyota
because damage to the limitedslip
differential could possibly occur with
another tire type.
The vehicle identification number (VIN)
is the legal identifier for your vehicle.
This number is on the left top of the
instrument panel, and can be seen
through the windshield from outside.
This is the primary identification number
for your Toyota. It is used in registering
the ownership of your vehicle.
20c508a
The vehicle identification number (VIN) is
also on the Certification Label.

256 Vehicle load limits include total load
capacity, seating capacity, towing ca-
pacity and cargo capacity. Follow the
load limits shown below. Total load ca-
pacity and seating capacity are also
described on the tire and loading in-
formation label. For location of the tire
and loading information label, see
“Checking tire information pressure”
on page 330.
Total load capacity:
545 kg (1200 lb.)
Total load capacity means combined
weight of occupants, cargo and lug-
gage. Tongue load is included when
trailer towing.
Seating capacity: Total 8 (Front 2, Rear 6)
Seating capacity means the maximum
number of occupants whose esti-
mated average weight is 68 kg (150
lb.) per person. Depending on the
weight of each person, the seating ca-
pacity given may exceed the total
load capacity.
NOTICE
Even if the number of occupants
are within the seating capacity,
do not exceed the total load ca-
pacity.
Towing capacity: 2948 kg (6500 lb.)
Towing capacity means the maximum
gross trailer weight (trailer weight plus
its cargo weight) that your vehicle is
able to tow.
Cargo capacity
Cargo capacity may increase or de-
crease depending on the size (weight)
and the number of occupants. For de-
tails, see “Capacity and distribution”
that follows.
CAUTION
Do not apply the load more than
each load limit. That may cause
not only damage to the tires, but
also deterioration to the steering
ability and braking ability, which
may cause an accident.

When stowing cargo and luggage in
or on the vehicle, observe the follow-
ing:
 Put cargo and luggage in the lug-
gage compartment when at all
possible. Be sure all items are se-
cured in place.
 Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far
forward as possible helps maintain
the balance.
 For better fuel economy, do not
carry unneeded weight.
CAUTION
To prevent cargo and l uggage
from sliding forward during
braking, do not stack anything
in the luggage compartment
higher than the seatbacks.
 Do not place anything on the
flattened seat or it may slide
forward during braking.
Never allow anyone to ride in
the luggage compartment. It is
not designed for passengers.
They should ride in their seats
with their seat belts properly
fastened. Otherwise, they are
much more likely to suffer seri-
ous bodily injury, in the event
of sudden braking or a colli-
sion.
 Do not place anything on the
luggage cover. Such items may
be thrown about and possibly
injure people in the vehicle
during sudden braking or an
accident. Secure all items in a
safe place.
 Do not drive with objects left
on top of the instrument panel.
They may interfere with the
driver’s field of view. Or they
may move during sharp vehicle
acceleration or turning, and im-
pair the driver’s control of the
vehicle. In an accident they
may injure the vehicle occu-
pants.NOTICE
Do not load the vehicle beyond
the vehicle capacity weight giv-
en in Section 8.
