Electronically modulated air suspension^{* *}If equipped The electronically modulated air suspension allows the driver to control the vehicle’s height in order to adjust for driving conditions. Select the desired height with the height control switch. Switches Height control switch Switches Height control mode select switch Height control switch Height control switch Height control mode select switch Selecting vehicle height Operating the switch change vehicle rear height as follows: Lower Higher Vehicle height can be adjusted only when the hybrid system is operating. The selected height mode will be shown on the electronically modulated air suspension display. The selected mode will flash while the height mode is being changed. Height modes “ N” mode (normal mode): For ordinary driving Normal height “ HI” mode (high mode): For driving on bumpy roads 1.6 in. (40 mm) higher than the normal height The “ HI” mode is unavailable when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h). When the vehicle’s speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h), the height will be adjusted to the normal height automatically. “ LO” mode (low mode): For the ease of egress/ingress and loading luggage 1.2 in. (30 mm) lower than the normal height The “ LO” mode is unavailable when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 8 mph (12 km/h). When the vehicles speed exceeds 8 mph (12 km/h), the height will be adjusted to the normal height automatically. Disabling the height control When the height control mode select switch is pressed, the vehicle height is fixed at the current height. The “ MAN.” indicator is displayed on the multi-information display and the automatic leveling function turned off. The height can be adjusted by pressing the height control switch. Press the switch again or when the vehicle’s speed exceeds 18 mph (30 km/h), the height will be adjusted to the normal height automatically. Note: Automatic leveling function Regardless of the number of occupants or the luggage load, vehicle height in any mode is always adjusted to a fixed height by the automatic leveling function. 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 exceeds 8 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 following cases: The underbody of the vehicle is touching the surface of the road. 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 hybrid system and then restart it. Even if you hear an operating noise This does not indicate a problem in the electronically modulated air suspension. The electronically modulated air suspension failure warning The warning message is displayed on the multi-information display, and the electronically modulated air suspension cannot be activated until the malfunction is corrected.Stop the hybrid system 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 possible. When the indicator turns on Indicates a malfunction in the air suspension system.Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately. (Warning lights, Air suspension malfunction indicator) 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 or injury: When driving through water such as shallow streams (Put the vehicle height in “ HI” mode and turn off the electronically modulated air suspension. Drive at 18 mph [30 km/h] or slower.) When jacking up the vehicle, installing tire chains or tying the vehicle with chains/wires for transportation via flat bed truck (Turn the system to the manual mode and stop the hybrid system.) 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” mode and turn the system to the manual mode.) Selecting the correct height mode Observe the following precautions to prevent accidents or injury.Failure to do so may cause damage to parts of the vehicle, as well as dangerous handling characteristics, which may lead to fatal or injury 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. Notice: Be careful in any place where overhead space is limited. When changing to a higher mode or after unloading, the vehicle height will rise. This may cause damage to the vehicle. Do not select “ LO” mode when driving on bumpy roads. If the underbody of the vehicle touches a rugged road surface, the vehicle may be damaged. Do not change the vehicle height frequently. The compressor might overheat and cause the operation to stop. When on the extremely uneven roads with rocks Sometimes the vehicle height is not adjusted because it is judged as uneven road driving.
