Use the front drive control switches
and center differential lock switch to
select the transfer and center differen-
tial modes.
In the ª4HIº and ª4LOº mode, you can
choose to lock or unlock the center differ-
ential.
Use the center differential lock system if
your wheels get stuck in a ditch, or when
you are driving on a slippery or bumpy
surface. When the center differential is
locked, the vehicle stability control system
is automatically turned off and the center
differential lock and ªVSC OFFº indicator
lights come on because the function that
controls engine performance interferes
with the process of freeing your wheels.
NOTICE
As soon as the center differential lock
switch is turned on, the ªVSC OFFº
indicator light comes on. After the
wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface, turn the
center differential lock switch off.
Make sure that the center differential
lock indicator light and ªVSC OFFº
indicator light turn off.
ª2WDº mode (high speed, two±wheel
drive)
This mode is the normal driving mode. In
this mode, the ª4HIº and ª4LOº indicator
lights are turned off.
Use this for normal driving on dry hard±
surfaced roads. This position gives greater
economy, quietest ride, least wear and
better vehicle control.
ª4HIº mode (high speed, four±wheel
drive, center differential unlocked)
To select this mode, press the ª2WD/4HIº
switch only. The ª4HIº indicator light
comes on.
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard±surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow±covered roads. This
position provides greater traction than
two±wheel drive.ª4HIº mode (high speed, four±wheel
drive, center differential locked)
To select this mode, press the ª2DW/4HIº
switch, and then the center differential
lock switch. The ª4HIº and the center dif-
ferential lock indicator lights come on.
Use this for greater traction when you
experience a loss of power, such as
wheel slipping, in the center differential
unlock mode.
ª4LOº mode (low speed, four±wheel
drive, center differential unlocked)
To select this mode, press the ª4LOº
switch only. The ª4LOº indicator light
comes on.
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for climbing steep hills, off±road
driving, and hard pulling in sand or mud.
In this mode, the braking feeling that oc-
curs when the wheels are negotiating a
sharp corner is further reduced than in the
ª4LOº (low speed, four±wheel drive, center
differential locked) mode.

ª4LOº mode (low speed, four±wheel
drive, center differential locked)
To select this mode, press the ª4LOº
switch, and then press the center differen-
tial lock switch. The ª4LOº and the center
differential lock indicator lights come on.
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for hard pulling in situations the
vehicle cannot negotiate even in ª4LOº
(low speed, four±wheel drive, center differ-
ential unlocked) mode. Also, using this
mode when driving down steep off±road
inclines will help contribute to increased
vehicle stability.
The indicator light tells when the differen-
tial lock is engaged. Note that the differ-
ential is not still locked as long as the
indicator light remains off.
When the operation is not completed, the
indicator blinks. If the indicator light does
not go off when you push out the center
differential lock switch, drive straight
ahead while accelerating or decelerating,
or drive in reverse.
If the center differential lock system op-
eration is not completed within 5 seconds
while the cruise control system is set,
cancel the cruise control system. To can-
cel the cruise control system, see ªCruise
controlº on page 205 in Section 1±7.If the indicator blinks even if doing so,
contact your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible. There may be a trouble in the
center differential lock system.
See ª(c) Shifting procedureº for further in-
structions.
Advice for driving on slippery roads in
ª4LOº (low speed, four±wheel drive)
mode
If you press the ª4LOº switch and shift
the automatic transmission lever to ª2º
when you drive in steep off±road areas,
the output of the brake can be controlled
effectively by the active traction control
system, which assists the driver to control
the driving power of 4 wheels.
Use the ªLº position of the automatic
transmission for maximum power and trac-
tion when your wheels get stuck or when
you drive down a steep incline. The output
of the brake can be controlled by the
active traction control system if the engine
speed is under 3000 rpm (normally engine
speed is under 3000 rpm when the wheels
get unstuck), in the following cases:

The front drive control in ª4LOº mode
and the automatic transmission in ªLº
or the automatic transmission in ªDº,
ª3º or ª2º with the transmission down-
shifting to the first gear

The front drive control in ª4LOº mode
and the automatic transmission in ªRº
(As for the automatic transmission shift
positions, see ªAutomatic transmissionº on
page 173 in this Section.)

The brake pad or actuator temperature
increases during continuous operation of
the traction control system or vehicle sta-
bility control system such as on slippery
roads. If the brake pad or actuator tem-
perature becomes too high while the trac-
tion control system or vehicle stability
control system is operating, a buzzer will
start to sound intermittently to indicate
that the traction control system can no
longer operate. In this case, stop your
vehicle immediately at a safe place.
If the system continues to operate, the
buzzer sound changes from intermittent to
continuous. (The continuous buzzer
sounds for about 3 seconds.)
At the time the ªVSC TRACº warning light
will come on and the traction control sys-
tem temporarily stops operating in order to
protect the brake pad. (Although the trac-
tion control system does not operate,
there is no problem to continue your driv-
ing.) The system will be automatically re-
stored after a short time and the warning
light goes out.
If the light comes on while driving, the
traction control system does not work.
However, as conventional braking operates
when applied, there is no problem to con-
tinue your driving.In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:

The warning light does not come on
after the ignition key is turned to ªONº.

The warning light remains on after the
ignition key is turned to ªONº.

The warning light comes on while driv-
ing.
The ªTRAC OFFº indicator light will come
on when the ªVSC TRACº warning light
comes on even if the ªTRAC OFFº switch
is not pushed.The active traction control system auto-
matically helps prevent the spinning of
4 wheels (4WD mode) or rear wheels
(2WD mode) when the vehicle is started
or accelerated on slippery road sur-
faces.
When the ignition key is turned to ªONº,
the system automatically turns on.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power against 4 wheels (4WD mode)
or rear wheels (2WD mode) cannot be
maintained, even though the active
traction control system is in opera-
tion. Do not drive the vehicle under
any speed or maneuvering conditions
which may cause the vehicle to lose
traction control. In situations where
the road surface is covered with ice
or snow, your vehicle should be fitted
with snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the present road condi-
tions.
