Toyota Land Cruiser 2021 User Guide
The Toyota Land Cruiser is a legendary SUV that has established a strong reputation for its off-road capabilities, durability, and luxurious features. Although my knowledge cutoff is in September 2021, I can provide you with an introduction to the Toyota Land Cruiser based on the information available up until that time. The 2021 Toyota Land Cruiser continues the tradition of its predecessors by offering exceptional off-road prowess combined with a refined and upscale interior. Its rugged construction, advanced four-wheel drive system, and off-road technologies make it a capable vehicle for tackling various terrains.
In terms of design, the Land Cruiser features a bold and muscular exterior with a distinctive grille, powerful headlights, and a sturdy overall appearance. The interior is typically spacious, providing comfortable seating for up to eight passengers. The cabin is often crafted with high-quality materials and offers a range of luxurious features, including leather upholstery, heated and ventilated seats, and premium audio systems. Powering the Land Cruiser is usually a robust V8 engine that delivers ample horsepower and torque for both on-road and off-road driving. The vehicle is often equipped with advanced suspension systems, multiple driving modes, and a comprehensive suite of off-road features like a locking center differential, crawl control, and hill descent control. These features enhance the Land Cruiser’s ability to navigate challenging terrains and conquer steep inclines.
In terms of technology and safety, the Land Cruiser typically comes well-equipped with the latest features. Depending on the trim level, you may find a large touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, smartphone integration, and premium audio options. Safety features often include adaptive cruise control, forward collision warning, lane departure warning, blind-spot monitoring, and a surround-view camera system. It’s worth noting that Toyota has announced that the 2021 model year will be the last for the Toyota Land Cruiser in the United States. However, the Land Cruiser may still be available in other global markets, and Toyota is expected to introduce a next-generation model in the future. For the most accurate and up-to-date information on the specific features and details of the Toyota Land Cruiser 2021 model, I recommend checking with Toyota’s official website or contacting a local Toyota dealership.

WARNING
- General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influence of alcohol or drugs that have impaired your ability to operate your vehicle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents. Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you, your occupants or others. - General precautions regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral. There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with the windows, the moon roof, or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.
For safe driving
For safe driving, adjust the seat and mirror to an appropriate position before driving.
