Parking brake
When parking, firmly apply the parking
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 allows you to cruise
the vehicle at a desired speed over
about 40 km/h (25 mph) even with your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained
within the limits of engine performance,
although a slight speed change may occur
when driving up or down the grades. On
steeper hills, a greater speed change will
occur so it is better to drive without the
cruise control.
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.

156
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.
TURNING THE SYSTEM ON
To operate the cruise control, push the
“ON −OFF” switch. This turns the system
on. The indicator light in the instrument
panel shows that you can now set the
vehicle at a desired cruising speed. Anoth-
er push on the switch will turn the system
completely off.
CAUTION
To avoid accidental cruise control en-
gagement, keep the “ONOFF” switch
off when not using the cruise control.
SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED
The transmission must be in “D” or “4”
before you set the cruise control 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.

157
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 PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by:a. Pulling the control lever in the “CANCEL” direction and releasing it.
b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Pushing the “ON −OFF” switch.
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will auto-
matically cancel out.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the preset speed, the preset
speed will also automatically cancel out.
If the preset speed automatically cancels
out for other than the above cases, have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity. 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.RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling
the control lever or by depressing the
brake pedal, pushing the lever up in the
“+ RES” direction will restore the speed
set prior to cancellation.
If the preset speed is cancelled when ve-
hicle speed falls below about 40 km/h (25
mph), the preset speed will be resumed
when vehicle speed exceeds about 40
km/h (25 mph) again.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes when using the
cruise control, press the “ON
−OFF” switch
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.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.

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 −

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.
(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.)

162
NOTICE
Do not select the low mode in the
bumpy roads. If the underbody of the
vehicle touches the rugged road sur-
face, the vehicle may be damaged.
Even if the engine is stopped while the
vehicle height is being lowered, the op-
eration continues for up to 12 seconds.
(e) Turning off the active height controlsuspension
To turn off the active height control
suspension with the vehicle stopped,
push the height control switch. The
height control “OFF” indicator light
comes on and the vehicle height is
fixed in the same mode as the height
control switch is pushed.
This status is memorized in the system
even after the engine is stopped.
If you push the switch again, the height
control “OFF” indicator light goes out and
the active height control suspension is
turned on.
CAUTION
If you drive through deep water over
about 500 mm (20 in.) in depth, put
the vehicle height in the HI (High)
mode with the active height select
switch and then turn off the active
height control suspension by pushing
the height control switch. Drive your
vehicle at 30 km/h (19 mph) or lower
speed.
NOTICE
 When jacking up or insta lling tire
chains, be sure to turn off the ac-
tive height control suspension and
stop the engine. Otherwise, the ve-
hicle height may change because of
the automatic leveling function, re-
sulting in an accident.
 If your vehicle must be towed, put
the vehicle height in the normal
mode and turn off the active height
control suspension. Otherwise, the
vehicle height may change because
of the automatic leveling function,
resulting in an accident.

165
(g) Operation in cold weather
The active height control suspension
does not operate in cold weather when
the suspension fluid temperature drops
below –30C (–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. (i) Installing or removing h
eavy 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.

206
Check surroundings for safety.
If a bright light (for example, sunlight re-
flected off the vehicle body) is picked up
by the camera, the smear effect
∗ peculiar
to the camera may occur.
∗: Smear effect—A phenomenon that oc-
curs when a bright light (for example, sun-
light reflected off the vehicle body) is
picked up by the camera; when trans-
mitted by the camera, the light source
appears to have a vertical streak above
and below it.

SECTION 2

225
Always slow down in gusty cross-
winds. Because of its profile and
higher center of gravity, your ve-
hicle is more sensitive to side
winds than an ordinary passenger
car. Slowing down will allow you
to have better control.
When driving offroad or in rugged
terrain, do not drive at excessive
speeds, jump, make sharp turns,
strike objects, etc. This may cause
loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury.
You are also risking expensive dam-
age to your vehicle’s suspension
and chassis.
Do not drive horizontally across
steep slopes. Driving straight up
or straight down is preferred. Your
vehicle (or any similar offroad ve-
hicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or back-
ward.
Breakin period
Drive gently and avoid high speeds.
Your vehicle does not need an elaborate
break−in. But following a few simple tips
for the first 1600 km (1000 miles) can add
to the future economy and long life of
your vehicle:
Avoid full −throttle acceleration when
starting and driving.
Avoid racing the engine.
Try to avoid hard stops during the first
300 km (200 miles).
Do not drive for a long time at any
single speed, either fast or slow.
Do not tow a trailer during the first 800
km (500 miles).
Fuel
FUEL TYPE
Your new vehicle must use only un-
leaded gasoline.
To help prevent gas station mix −ups, your
Toyota has a smaller fuel tank opening.
The special nozzle on pumps with un-
leaded fuel will fit it, but the larger stan-
dard nozzle on pumps with leaded gas will
not.
At a minimum, the gasoline you use
should meet the specifications of ASTM
D4814 in the U.S.A. and CGSB 3.5 −M93
in Canada.
NOTICE
Do not use leaded gasoline. Use of
leaded gasoline will cause the three
way catalytic converter to lose its ef-
fectiveness, the emission control sys-
tem to function improperly, and dam-
age to the engine. Also, this can in-
crease maintenance costs.
