'04 4Runner_U (L/O 0409) Rear height control air suspension "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. "LO" (low) mode- The vehicle height is about 20 mm (0.8 in.) lower at rear than the "N" mode height.

Select your desired height among the "HI" (high), "N" (normal) and "LO" (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. 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. Use the "LO" mode when the vehicle is stopped. Otherwise, when the vehicle speed exceeds about 12 km/h (7 mph), "N" mode is selected automatically. So be careful when you drive in any place where the overhead height is limited.
