The selected mode will flash while
the height mode is being change.

■Automatic leveling function
Regardless of the number of occupants or the luggage load, vehi cle height in
any mode is always adjusted to a fixed height by the automatic leveling func-
tion.
■ When “HI” mode is selected
The vehicle height will change to “N” mode when driving at the speeds of
18 mph (30 km/h).
■ When “LO” mode is selected
●The vehicle height will change to “N” mode when vehicle speed e xceeds
7 mph (12 km/h).
● This mode allows for easy access to the vehicle (getting in and out) and
easy loading and unloading.
■ The electronically modulated air suspension will not operate in the fol-
lowing cases:
● The underbody of the vehicle is touching the surface of the roa d.
● The area around the suspension is covered with ice.
The height control indicators will blink, turn off and then turn on continuously
to indicate that the electronically modulated air suspension is not operational.
To re-enable operation, turn off the engine and then restart it .
■ Even if you hear an operating noise
This does not indicate a problem in the electronically modulate d air suspen-
sion.
■ The electronically modulated air suspension failure warning
The warning message is displayed on the multi-information displ ay, and the
electronically modulated air suspension cannot be activated unt il the malfunc-
tion is corrected.
Stop the engine and start again. If the warning message turns off, the system
operating correctly. If the warning message continues to be displayed, have
your vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer as soon as possibl e.

WARNING
■The electronically modulated air suspension must be turned off in the
following circumstances:
Otherwise, the automatic leveling function may cause the vehicle’s height to
change, and you may catch part of your body in the vehicle, resulting in an
unexpected accident:
● When driving through water such as shallow streams (Put the veh icle
height in “HI” mode and turn off the electronically modulated a ir suspen-
sion. Drive at 18 mph [30 km/h] or slower.)
● When jacking up the vehicle, installing tire chains or tying th e vehicle with
chains/wires for transportation via flat bed truck (Turn the system to the
manual mode and stop the engine.)
● When the vehicle must be towed (Put the vehicle height in “N” mode and
turn the system to the manual mode.)
● When the vehicle gets stuck (Turn the system to the manual mode .)
● When disconnecting a trailer (Put the vehicle height in “N” mod e and turn
the system to the manual mode.)
■ Selecting the correct height mode
Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents.
Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the vehicle, as w ell as dan-
gerous handling characteristics, which may lead to fatal or inj ury accidents.
● Before you lower the vehicle’s height, check under the vehicle to make
sure that no one is there.
● “HI” mode should only be used when driving on rough roads, for example
when driving off-road.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the
mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting
in an accident.
● Do not select “HI” mode when you load cargo on the roof luggage carrier.
Because the vehicle’s center of gravity will become higher when in the
mode, the vehicle may become unstable when turning abruptly, resulting
in an accident.

If the “4LO” indicator, “4HI” indicator or the center different ial lock indi-
cator blinks
● If the “4LO” indicator continues to blink when shifting between “4H” and “4L”,
stop the vehicle completely, move the shift lever to N and oper ate the switch
again.
● If the shift lever is moved before the “4LO” indicator turns on /off, the transfer
mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer mode disengage s both
the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and allows the vehicle to
move regardless of the shift position. (At this time, the indic ator blinks and
the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic tr ansmission is in
P. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return t he shift lever to
N, and confirm that the shift was completed (The indicator turn s on/off).
● If the engine coolant temperature is too low, transfer mode may not be able
to shift. When the engine is warmer, turn the switch again.
If the “4LO” indicator, “4HI” i ndicator or the center different ial lock indicator
continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may b e a malfunc-
tion in the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive sy stem. In this
case, you may not be able to shift between “2WD” and “4H”, “4H” and “4L”,
and the center differential lock may not be operable. Have the vehicle
inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ Shifting to the “4L” position
The VSC off indicator will come on.
If the center differential is locked, VSC is automatically turn ed off.

AUTO LSD system
The system can be used on 2WD models and in 2WD mode on 4WD
models.
The system is activated when driving at a speed under 62 mph
(100 km/h).
The AUTO LSD system will be activated with the following two pr oce-
dures.
■TRAC off mode
Press briefly to turn on the
system. The “AUTO LSD” indi-
cator will come on.
To turn off the system, press
again.
■
AUTO LSD mode
Stop the vehicle completely,
and press for more than 3
seconds. The “AUTO LSD” and
VSC off indicators will come on.
To turn off the system, press
again.
The AUTO LSD system aids trac tion by using the traction con-
trol system to control engine performance and braking when
one of the drive wheels begins to spin.
The system should be used only when one of the drive wheels
spinning occurs in a ditch or rough surface.

■If the engine is turned off and restarted
The AUTO LSD system and the indicators are automatically turned off.
■ Reactivation of the VSC system linked to vehicle speed
When the AUTO LSD system is turned on, the VSC and TRAC systems will
turn on automatically if vehicle speed increase.
■ If the brake system overheats
The system will cease operation and a buzzer will alert the driver. At this time,
the “TRAC OFF” indicator will come on. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
(There is no problem with continuing normal driving.) The syste m will be auto-
matically restored after a short time.
WARNING
■ To avoid an accident
Failure to do so, a much greater steering effort and more careful cornering
control will be required.
● Do not use the AUTO LSD system in conditions other than when on e of
the drive wheels spinning occurs in a ditch or rough surface.
● Do not drive with the AUTO LSD system continuously turned on.
NOTICE
■Activating while driving
Do not activate the AUTO LSD system if the wheel is slipping. S top the slip-
ping or spinning before activating.

■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, Tra iler
Sway Control, TRAC and hill-start assist control systems
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the brake pedal
is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just aft er the vehicle
begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has
occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above system s are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occur red.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a s top.
