2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA jacking

1942007 SEQUOIA from Aug. ’07 Prod. (OM34462U)
NOTICE
If the vehicle height is changed fre-
quently when the vehicle is heavily
loaded, the compressor may over-
heat, causing the vehicle height ad-
justment operation to stop.
 Before you lower the vehicle height
with the height control 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 rear height
control air suspension becomes
slightly higher than the normal ve-
hicle height. Take sufficient care
where the overhead height is re-
stricted.
 Do not select “LO” mode for bumpy
roads. If the underbody of the ve-
hicle touches the road surface, the
vehicle may be damaged.
If you attempt to adjust the vehicle height
with anything such as snow, ice, or stones
in contact with the vehicle body, the ve-
hicle height may not change. In this case,
stop the vehicle, press the height control
mode select switch, and check that manu-
al control mode indicator light comes on.
Then, remove the obstruction.
CAUTION
If you drive through water, set the
vehicle height to “HI” with the height
control switch and then change to
manual control mode by pushing the
height control mode select switch. Do
not exceed 30 km/h (18 mph) or “HI”
mode will automatically change to
“N” mode. Do not drive through water
deeper than about 700 mm (28 in.)
even if the vehicle height is in “HI”
mode.
NOTICE
When jacking up or insta lling tire
chains, be sure to set manual con-
trol mode by pushing the height
control mode select switch and stop
the engine. Otherwise, the vehicle
height may change because of the
automatic leveling function, result-
ing in an accident.
 If your vehicle must be towed, set
the vehicle height to “N” and
change to manual control mode.
Otherwise, the vehicle height may
change because of the automatic
leveling function, resulting in an ac-
cident.
 If your vehicle gets stuck in a
ditch, set manual control mode by
pushing the height control mode se-
lect switch. Otherwise, the vehicle
height may change because of the
automatic leveling function, result-
ing in an accident.

vehicle height with the height control
switch.

speed exceeds 30 km/h (18 mph), auto-
matic control mode is activated and “N” is

in contact with the vehicle body, the ve-
hicle height may not change. In this case,
stop the vehicle and remove the obstruc-
tion.

(b) Vehicle height adjustment
To change the vehicle height in manual
mode, push the height control switch
on either side of “ ” (higher) or “”
(lower).
A higher vehicle height is suitable when
driving on bumpy roads and through water.
A lower vehicle height allows for easy
access to the vehicle (getting in and out)
and easy loading and unloading.
When you are driving on bumpy roads,
which may cause the suspension to fully
elongate, the rear height control air sus-
pension may not operate.

CAUTION
Do not attempt to remove the radiator
cap when the engine and radiator are
hot. Serious injury could result from
scalding hot fluid and steam blown
out under pressure.
7. After the engine coolant temperaturehas cooled to normal, again check the
coolant level in the reservoir. If neces-
sary, bring it up to half full again. Seri-
ous coolant loss indicates a leak in the
system. You s hould have it checked as
soon as possible at your Toyota dealer.

tiously off the road to a safe place
well away from the traffic. Avoid

Make sure to set the jack prop-
erly in the jack point. Raising
the vehicle with jack improper-
ly positioned will damage the
vehicle or may allow the ve-
hicle to fall off the jack and
cause personal injury.
 Never get under the vehicle
when the vehicle is supported
by the jack alone.
 Use the jack only for lifting
your vehicle during wheel
changing.
 Do not raise the vehicle with
someone in the vehicle.
 When raising the vehicle, do
not place any objects on top
of or underneath the jack.
 Raise the vehicle only high
enough to remove and change
the tire.NOTICE
 Do not continue driving with
a deflated tire. Driving even a
short distance can damage a
tire and wheel beyond repair.
 Vehicles with rear height con-
trol air suspension system:
When jacking up or insta lling
tire chains, be sure to set
manual control mode by
pushing the height control
mode select switch and stop
the engine. Otherwise, the

eling function, resulting in an
accident.
