(two−wheel drive models)
"VSC OFF" warning light
When the system is normal and the en-
gine switch is turned to "ON", the warning
light will come on and will go off after a
few seconds.
It is not a malfunction that the warning
light may stay on for 60 seconds after the
engine switch is turned to "ON".
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the light. It is normal if it
goes out after a few seconds.
If the warning light flashes while driving,
the system does not work. However, as
normal braking operates when being ap-
plied, it is no problem to continue your
driving.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The warning light does not come on

after the engine switch is turned to

Rear height control air
suspension
CY16008
This rear height control air suspension
controls the vehicle height depending
on the vehicle driving conditions. Select
your desired height among the "HI"
(high), "N" (normal) and "LO" (low)
modes with the height select switch.
(a) Vehicle height modes
"N" (normal) mode—
The vehicle height in this mode is stan-
dard. Regardless of the number of occu-
pants or the luggage loading condition, the
vehicle height is always automatically ad-
justed to a fixed height in this mode while
the engine is running.
This mode is suitable for ordinary driving.
"HI" (high) mode—
The vehicle height is about 40 mm (1.6
in.) higher at rear than the "N" mode
height.
This mode is suitable when driving on the
bumpy roads and through water.
However, when the vehicle speed exceeds
about 30 km/h (19 mph) or over in the
"HI" mode, the "N" mode is automatically
selected.
CAUTION
The "HI" mode should be used for
severe off−road driving condition
only. Because the vehicle's center of
gravity is higher in this setting, the
vehicle may become unstable when
turning abruptly, resulting in accident.
