06 06.15 D Four−wheel drive models only-Toyota recommends not using four−wheel drive on dry hard−surfaced roads, because four−wheel driving will cause unnecessary noise and wear, and poor fuel economy. CAUTION D Do not drive in excess of the speed limit. Even if the legal speed limit permits it, do not drive over 140 km/h (85 mph) unless your vehicle has high−speed capability tires. Driving over 140 km/h (85 mph) may result in tire failure, loss of control and possible injury. Be sure to consult a tire dealer to determine whether the tires on your vehicle are high−speed capability tires or not before driving at such speeds. D Before driving off, make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. D Four−wheel drive models only-In cold temperatures, noise may occur when driving in two−wheel drive before the transfer is warmed up. Therefore, first drive in four−wheel drive until the transfer is warmed up. D Do not leave your vehicle unattended while the engine is running. D Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. It can cause dangerous overheating, needless wear, and poor fuel economy. D Vehicles with rear height control air suspension: When driving on a bumpy road, set the vehicle height to "HI" in automatic control mode, then select manual control mode by pushing the height control mode select switch. You should drive at a speed of less than 30 km/h (18 mph). D To drive down a long or steep hill, reduce your speed and downshift. Remember, if you ride the brakes excessively, they may overheat and not work properly. D Do not continue normal driving when the brakes are wet. If they are wet, your vehicle will require a longer stopping distance, and it may pull to one side when the brakes are applied. Also, the parking brake will not hold the vehicle securely. D Be careful when accelerating, upshifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking, could cause the vehicle to skid or spin. 368 2007 SEQUOIA from Sep.
