2003 Toyota 4Runner Owners Manual - Page 1362

'03 4Runner_U (L/O 0305) D Vehicles with rear height control air suspension: When you drive on a bumpy road, it is recommended that the vehicle height should be set in the "N" (normal) or "H" (high) mode. 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 Vehicles with rear height control air suspension: If you drive through deep water over about 500 mm (20 in.) in depth, put the vehicle height in the "H" (high) mode with the height select switch and then turn off the rear height control air suspension by pushing the "HEIGHT CONTROL OFF" switch. Drive your vehicle at 30 km/h (19 mph) or lower speed. CAUTION D Before driving off, make sure that the parking brake is fully released and the parking brake reminder light is off. D Do not leave your vehicle unattended while the engine is running. 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 Do not rest your foot on the brake pedal while driving. It can cause dangerous overheating, needless wear, and poor fuel economy. 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 Be careful when accelerating, upshifting, downshifting or braking on a slippery surface. Sudden acceleration or engine braking, could cause the vehicle to spin or skid. 262 2003 4RUNNER from Apr.
