'05 4Runner_U (L/O 0409) "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. This mode allows you easy access to the vehicle (getting in and out) and easy loading and unloading operation. This mode is available when the vehicle speed is under about 12 km/h (7 mph). D When selecting a mode, there is a vehicle speed limit. Refer to the following table. Yes = The mode can be selected. No = The mode cannot be selected. "LO" mode Under about 12 km/h (7 mph) Under about 30 km/h (19 mph) About 30 km/h (19 mph) or over Yes "N" mode Yes "HI" mode Yes NOTICE CAUTION 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.
