Hill–start assist control system The hill–start assist control system as- sists you in starting to move up a steep or slippery hill. When you start to move up the hill slope, the system helps to prevent the vehicle from roll- ing backward in the interval while you move your foot from the brake pedal to the accelerator pedal.

CAUTION

(cid:1) Do not rely excessively on the hill– start assist control system. The ve- hicle may not be able to start smoothly on road surfaces or off– road surfaces such as extremely steep slopes or icy roads, on which sliding can occur very easily.

(cid:1) Do not use the hill–start assist con- trol system to stop the vehicle. This system is not designed as a func- tion for stopping the vehicle on a uphill slope.

(normal) and “LO”

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” (low) modes with the height select switch. (a) Vehicle height modes “N” (normal) mode— The vehicle height in this mode is standard. Regardless of the number of occupants or the luggage loading condition, the vehicle height is always automatically adjusted to a fixed height in this mode while the engine is running. This mode is suitable for ordinary driving.

158

’03 4Runner_U (L/O 0305)

“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.

“LO” (low) mode— The vehicle height is about 20 mm (0.8 in.) lower at rear than the “N” mode height. This mode allows you easy access to the vehicle (getting in and out) and easy load- ing and unloading operation. This mode is available when the vehicle speed is under about 12 km/h (7 mph).

NOTICE

Use the “LO” mode when the vehicle is stopped. Otherwise, when the ve- hicle speed exceeds about 12 km/h (7
mph), “N” mode is selected automati- cally. So be careful when you drive in any place where the overhead height is limited.

(b) Vehicle height mode changing con-

dition

To change the vehicle height, it is necessary to meet the following conditions. (cid:1) The engine should be running. (cid:1) The height control “OFF” indicator light

To change the “N” mode to “LO”, push the switch once. To change the “HI” mode to “LO”, push the switch twice. Even if the engine is stopped while the ve- hicle height is being lowered, the operation continues for up to 25 seconds. If, within this 25 seconds, any of the side doors or the back door is opened, operation will continue for a further 15 seconds.

NOTICE

(cid:2) 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.

(cid:2) 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.

(cid:2) 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.

(cid:2) Do not select the “LO” mode in the bumpy roads. If the underbody of the vehicle touches the rugged road surface, the vehicle may be dam- aged.

(cid:2) If your vehicle gets ditched, turn off the rear height control air suspen- sion with the “HEIGHT CONTROL OFF” switch. Otherwise, the vehicle height may change because of the automatic leveling function resulting in an unexpected accident.

(d) Turning off the rear height control

air suspension

To turn off the rear height control air suspension with the vehicle stopped, push the “HEIGHT CONTROL OFF” switch. The height control “OFF” indi- cator 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 rear height control air suspension is turned on. Even after the rear height control air suspen- sion is turned off with the “HEIGHT CON- TROL OFF” switch, if the vehicle speed ex- ceeds 30 km/h (19 mph), the rear height control air suspension automatically selects the “N” mode.

CAUTION

If you drive through deep water over about 700 mm (28 in.) in depth, put the vehicle height in the “HI” mode with the height select switch and then turn off the rear height control air suspension by pushing the “HEIGHT CONTROL OFF” switch.

NOTICE

(cid:2) When jacking up or installing tire chains, be sure to turn off the rear height control air suspension by pushing the “HEIGHT CONTROL OFF” switch and stop the engine. Otherwise, the vehicle height may change because of the automatic leveling function, resulting in an un- expected accident.

(cid:2) If your vehicle must be towed, put the vehicle height in the “N” mode and turn off the rear height control air suspension. Otherwise, the ve- hicle height may change because of the automatic leveling function, re- sulting in an unexpected accident.

Cruise control The cruise control allows you to cruise the vehicle at a desired speed over 40
km/h (25 mph) even with your foot off the accelerator pedal. Your cruising speed can be maintained up or down grades 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.

CAUTION

(cid:1) 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.

If

(cid:1) Avoid vehicle speed increases when driving downhill. 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, press the “ON–OFF” button. 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 press will turn the system completely off.

CAUTION

To avoid accidental cruise control en- gagement, keep the “ON–OFF” button off when not using the cruise control.

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 lever in the “CANCEL” di-

rection and releasing it.

b. Depressing the brake pedal. 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 other than for the above cases, have your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal- er at the earliest opportunity.

SETTING AT A DESIRED SPEED The transmission must be in “D” 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 satisfac- tory, 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.

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 lever down in the “– SET” direction. 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 lever down in the “– SET” direction. to “4” Even (5–speed automatic transmission) or “3” (4–speed automatic transmission), with the cruise control on, engine braking will not be enabled 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.

Using your audio system— —Some basics This section describes some of the basic features on Toyota audio systems. Some information may not pertain to your sys- tem. Your audio system works when the ignition key is in the “ACC” or “ON” position. TURNING THE SYSTEM ON AND OFF Push “PWR·VOL” to turn the audio system on and off. Push “DISC” or “LOAD” to turn on that function without pushing “PWR·VOL”. To turn on the cas- sette or compact disc player, a cassette or compact disc must be loaded in the player. You can turn on each player by inserting a cassette tape or compact disc. You can turn off each player by ejecting the cassette tape or compact disc. If the audio system was previously off, then the entire audio system will be turned off when you eject the cassette tape or com- pact disc. If the another function was pre- viously playing, it will come on again. SWITCHING BETWEEN FUNCTIONS Push “DISC” or “LOAD” if the system is already on but you want to switch from one function to another.

TONE AND BALANCE For details about your system’s tone and balance controls, see the description of your own system. Tone How good an audio program sounds to you is largely determined by the mix of the treble, midrange and bass levels. In fact, different kinds of music and vocal programs usually sound better with differ- ent mixes of treble, midrange and bass. Balance A good balance of the left and right stereo channels and of the front and rear sound levels is also important. Keep in mind that if you are listening to a stereo recording or broadcast, changing the right/left balance will increase the vol- ume of one group of sounds while de- creasing the volume of another.

YOUR RADIO ANTENNA Your vehicle has an antenna printed on the inside of the rear quarter window.

NOTICE

Attaching the film (especially conduc- tive or metallic type) on the rear quarter glass will noticeably reduce the sensitivity of the radio.

YOUR CASSETTE PLAYER When you insert a cassette, the exposed tape should face to the right.

NOTICE

Do not oil any part of the player and do not insert anything other than cas- sette tapes into the slot, or the tape player may be damaged.

YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER (type 1) When you insert a disc, gently push it in with the label side up. (The player will automatically eject a disc if the label side is down.) The player will play from track 1 through the end of the disc. Then it will play from track 1 again.

NOTICE

Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the compact disc player. Do not insert anything other than com- pact discs into the slot.

The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.

YOUR COMPACT DISC PLAYER WITH CHANGER (type 2) When you insert a disc, push the “LOAD” button and gently push the disc in with the label side up. (The player will auto- matically eject a disc if the label side is down.) This compact disc player can store up to six discs. The player will play from track 1 through the end of the disc. Then it will play from track 1 of the next disc. The player is intended for use with 12 cm (4.7 in.) discs only.

NOTICE

(cid:4) Do not stack up two discs for in- sertion, or it will cause damage to the compact disc player. Insert only one compact disc into slot at a time.

(cid:4) Never try to disassemble or oil any part of the compact disc player. Do not insert anything except a com- pact disc into the slot.
