How to Reset the Prado Air Suspension?

Start the car and drive to a smooth road section. Gradually accelerate the car to forty kilometers per hour. When the car reaches forty kilometers per hour, the air suspension will automatically reset.
A few days ago, my Land Cruiser's air suspension had a minor issue with erratic height display. The reset process is actually quite simple. Here's how I did it: Park on an absolutely level surface, ensure all doors are closed, start the engine but don't drive. Look at the dashboard, find the height adjustment button - usually the one with up/down arrows near the steering wheel. First press and hold the up button for three seconds, then press the down button for three seconds. Wait until the dashboard indicator light flashes a few times before releasing, and the system will automatically calibrate. The whole process takes just minutes. If reset fails, it might indicate a faulty air pump or sensor. I recommend checking tire pressure while you're at it to avoid road troubles. Regular maintenance attention can prevent future problems.
As a hands-on enthusiast, I've found that the key to air suspension reset lies in system self-check. The steps are simple: start the vehicle after turning it off, but don't drive away. Operate on level ground with doors closed for safety. Locate the control button, press and hold the height adjustment key for about five seconds until the calibration prompt appears on the instrument panel, then release. The reset is to recalibrate the suspension height sensors, preventing malfunctions during bumps. If you frequently drive on rough roads, regular resets can extend component lifespan. If reset fails, don't force it—first check for air leaks in the lines or battery voltage. If unresolved, seek professional shop adjustment—safety always comes first.
