2007 SEQUOIA from Aug. ’07 Prod. (OM34462U)
! Vehicles with rear height control air
suspension: If you drive through
water, set the vehicle height to “HI”
with the height control switch and
then change to manual control
mode by pushing the height control
mode select switch. Do not exceed
30 km/h (18 mph) or “HI” mode will
automatically change to “N” mode.
Do not drive through water deeper
than about 700 mm (28 in.) even if
the vehicle height is in “HI” mode.
Driving in the rain
Driving on a slippery road surface
Drive carefully when it is raining, because
visibility will be reduced, the windows may
become fogged−up, and the road will be
slippery.
! Drive carefully when it starts to rain,
because the road surface will be espe-
cially slippery.
! Refrain from high speeds when driving
on an expressway in the rain, because
there may be a layer of water between
the tires and the road surface, prevent-
ing the steering and brakes from oper-
ating properly.
CAUTION
! Sudden braking, acceleration and
steering when driving on a slippery
road surface may cause tire slip-
page and reduce your ability to
control the vehicle, resulting in an
accident.
! Sudden changes in engine speed,
such as sudden engine braking,
may cause the vehicle to skid, re-
sulting in an accident.
! After driving through a puddle,
lightly depress the brake pedal to
make sure that the brakes are func-
tioning properly. Wet brake pads
may prevent the brakes from func-
tioning properly. If the brakes on
only one side are wet and not func-
tioning properly, steering control
may be affected, resulting in an ac-
cident.
