Cold weather operation
It may take longer for the vehicle height to change if the suspension fluid tem-
perature drops below -15°C (5°F).
The 4-Wheel AHC does not operate when the suspension fluid temperature
drops below -30°C (-22°F).
● In this case, even if the height select switch is pressed, the vehicle height
will not change. Once the vehicle has been driven for a short time and the
suspension fluid has been warmed to within normal operating limits, the 4-
Wheel AHC will begin operating and the vehicle height will automatically
change to the selected mode.
● When the suspension fluid is around -30°C (-22°F), the vehicle height may
not be able to be raised, even if the 4-Wheel AHC is operating. In this case,
push “

” then “

” on the height select switch after driving for a short time
longer to select the desired vehicle height.
■
Parking and stopping tips
● If you immediately stop the engine after off-road driving, the vehicle height
may gradually lower. When parking, make sure there is nothing under the
vehicle that may come in contact with the underbody. The vehicle will return
to the set height when the engine is started.
●
The vehicle height may change as the temperature changes when the
engine is stopped. The vehicle will return to the set height when the engine
is started.
■
Propeller shaft noise
If the vehicle height is adjusted on a slope, or with the shift lever in a position
other than “P” or “N” while the vehicle is stopped, you may hear a sound
caused by the expansion and contraction of the propeller shaft. This does not
indicate a malfunction.
■
4-Wheel AHC failure warning
If a malfunction occurs in the 4-Wheel AHC, normal mode is automatically
selected. However, the system may not switch to normal mode depending on
the location of the malfunction.
The warning message is displayed on the multi-information display, and the
4-Wheel AHC cannot be activated until the malfunction is corrected.
Stop the engine and start it again. If the warning message turns off, the sys-
tem is operating correctly. If the warning message continues to be displayed,
have the vehicle checked at Toyota dealer.
