(e) Parking1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Pull the parking brake lever up fully to securely apply the parking brake.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down, shift the selector lever to the “P” posi-
tion.
If the four–wheel drive control is in the
“N” position while the selector lever is in
the “P” position, the transmission will
damage and the wheels will not lock.
CAUTION
While the vehicle is moving, never
attempt to move the selector lever
into “P” position under any circum-
stances. Serious mechanical damage
and loss of vehicle control may re-
sult.
(f) Good driving practice
If the transmission repeatedly shifts up
and down between fourth gear and ov-
erdrive gears when climbing a gentle
slope, shift the selector lever to the “4”
position. Be sure to shift the selector
lever to the “D” position immediately
afterward.
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use overdrive.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTICE
Always use the brake pedal or the
parking brake to hold the vehicle on
an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold
the vehicle using the accelerator ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.
(g) Driving in “PWR” (Power) mode
In the “PWR” mode, the transmission is
shifted up and down at a higher vehicle
speed than in the Normal mode and a
more powerful acceleration is achieved. To
set the “PWR” mode, push in the driving
pattern selector button. The “PWR” mode
indicator light comes on.
For ordinary driving, Toyota recommends
using the Normal mode to improve fuel
economy.
(h) If you cannot shift the selector le- ver out of “P” position
If you cannot shift the selector lever from
the “P” position even though the brake
pedal is depressed, use the shift lock
override button. For instructions, see “If
you cannot shift automatic transmission
selector lever” on page 271.

(i) Driving in “2nd STRT” (secondstart) mode
In the “2nd STRT” (Second start) mode,
the transmission system shifts up from
second gear. Use this mode when starting
your vehicle in sand, mud, ice or snow.
To set the “2nd STRT” mode, push the
“2nd” button. In the “2nd STRT” mode, the
“2nd STRT” indicator light comes on.
The “PWR” mode is automatically can-
celled when you push the “2nd” button.
Use the fourwheel drive control lever
and center differential lock button to
select the transfer and center differen-
tial modes.
The “H” and “L” position of the four −wheel
drive control lever provides either lock or
unlock mode of the center differential de-
pending on the center differential lock but-
ton position. 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 “VSC OFF” 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 “VSC OFF”
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 the center differential lock
indicator light and vehicle stability
control system off indicator light turn
off.

“H” (high speed position, center differ-
ential unlocked): Lever at “H”, center dif-
ferential lock button left out
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard −surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow −covered roads. This
position gives greater economy, quietest
ride, least wear and better vehicle control.
“H” (high speed position, center differ-
ential locked): Lever at “H”, center differ-
ential lock button pushed in
Use this for greater traction when you
experience a loss of power, such as
wheel slipping, in the center differential
unlock mode.
“N” (neutral position): Lever at “N”
No power is delivered to the wheels. The
vehicle must be stopped.
“L” (low speed position, center differen-
tial unlocked): Lever at “L”, center differ-
ential lock button left out
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for climbing or descending 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
“L” (low position, center differential locked)
mode.
“L” (low speed position, center differen-
tial locked):
Lever at “L”, center differen-
tial lock button pushed in.
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for hard pulling in situations the
vehicle cannot negotiate even in the “L”
(low speed position, center differential un −
locked) mode. Also, using this mode when
driving down steep off −road inclines will
help contribute to increased vehicle stabil-
ity.
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.
If the indicator light does not go off when
you push out the center differential lock
button, drive straight ahead while acceler-
ating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
See “(b) Shifting procedure” for further in-
structions. Advice for driving on slippery roads in
“L” (low speed position) mode
If you shift the four
−wheel drive control
lever to “L” and the automatic transmis-
sion lever to “2” 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 “L” position of the automatic
transmission lever for maximum power
and traction when your wheels get stuck
or when you drive down a steep incline.
In the following cases, the output of the
brake can be controlled by the active trac-
tion control system if the engine speed is
under 3,000 rpm (normally engine speed
is under 3,000 rpm when the wheels get
unstuck).
The four −wheel drive control lever in
the “L” position and the automatic
transmission lever in the “L” position or
the automatic transmission lever in the
“D”, “4”, “3” or “2” with the transmis-
sion downshifting to the first gear

the “L” position and the automatic
transmission lever in the “R” position
(As for the automatic transmission lever
positions, see “Automatic transmission” on
page 139.)
(b) Shifting procedure
SHIFTING BETWEEN “H” (UNLOCKED)
AND “H” (LOCKED)
To shift between unlock and lock
modes in “H”, push the center differential
lock button.
SHIFTING BETWEEN “L” (UNLOCKED)
AND “L” (LOCKED)
To shift between unlock and lock
modes in “L”, push the center differential
lock button.
SHIFTING BETWEEN “H” AND “L”
Stop the vehicle, put the transmission into
“N” and move the four −wheel drive control
lever.
CAUTION
Never move the four–wheel drive con-
trol lever if wheels are slipping. Wait
until the wheels have stopped slip-
ping or spinning before shifting.
NOTICE
For normal driving on dry and hard
surface roads, unlock the center dif-
ferential. To prevent damage to the
center differential lock system, do not
push the center differential lock but-
ton when the vehicle is cornering or
when its wheels are spinning freely
off the ground. If the indicator light
does not go off when unlocking the
center differential, drive straight
ahead while accelerating or decelerat-
ing, or drive in reverse.

Parking brake
When parking, firmly apply the parking
brake to avoid inadvertent creeping.
To set: Pull up the lever. For better hold-
ing power, first depress the brake pedal
and hold it while setting the parking
brake.
To release: Pull up the lever slightly (1),
press the lock release button (2), and low-
er (3).
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in
the instrument panel remains on until you
release the parking brake.
CAUTION
Before driving, be sure the parking
brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.
Cruise control
The cruise control allows you to cruise
the vehicle at a desired speed over
about 40 km/h (25 mph) even with your
foot off the accelerator pedal.
Your cruising speed can be maintained
within the limits of engine performance,
although a slight speed change may occur
when driving up or down the grades. On
steeper hills, a greater speed change will
occur so it is better to drive without the
cruise control.
When the cruise control is on, the driving
pattern of the automatic transmission is
fixed in the normal position, regardless of
the position of the driving pattern selector
switch.

2004 L/C100 from Aug ’03 Prod. (OM60A04U)
If you need acceleration—for example,
when passing—depress the accelerator
pedal enough for the vehicle to exceed
the set speed. When you release it, the
vehicle will return to the speed set prior
to the acceleration.
CANCELLING THE PRESET SPEED
You can cancel the preset speed by:a. Pulling the control lever in the “CANCEL” direction and releasing it.
b. Depressing the brake pedal. c. Pushing the “CRUISE ON −OFF” switch.
If the vehicle speed falls below about 40
km/h (25 mph), the preset speed will auto-
matically cancel out.
If the vehicle speed drops 16 km/h (10
mph) below the preset speed, the preset
speed will also automatically cancel out.
If the preset speed automatically cancels
out for other than the above cases, have
your vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er at the earliest opportunity. RESETTING TO A FASTER SPEED
Push the lever up in the “+ RES” direction
and hold it. Release the lever when the
desired speed is attained. While the lever
is held up, the vehicle will gradually gain
speed.
However, a faster way to reset is to ac-
celerate the vehicle and then push the
control lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion.
RESETTING TO A SLOWER SPEED
Push the lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion and hold it. Release the lever when
the desired speed is attained. While the
lever is held down, the vehicle speed will
gradually decrease.
However, a faster way to reset is to de-
press the brake pedal and then push the
control lever down in the “– SET” direc-
tion.
Even if you downshift the transmission
from the “D” position to “4” with the cruise
control on, engine braking will not be ap-
plied because the cruise control is not
cancelled. To decrease the vehicle speed,
reset to a slower speed with the cruise
control lever or depress the brake pedal.
If you use the brake pedal, cruise control
is cancelled.RESUMING THE PRESET SPEED
If the preset speed is cancelled by pulling
the control lever or by depressing the
brake pedal, pushing the lever up in the
“+ RES” direction will restore the speed
set prior to cancellation.
However, once the vehicle speed falls be-
low about 40 km/h (25 mph), the preset
speed will not be resumed.
CRUISE CONTROL FAILURE WARNING
If the “CRUISE” indicator light in the
instrument cluster flashes when using the
cruise control, press the “ON·OFF” button
to turn the system off and then press it
again to turn it on.
If any of the following conditions then oc-
curs, there is some trouble in the cruise
control system.
The indicator light does not come on.
The indicator light flashes again.
The indicator light goes out after it
comes on.
If this is the case, contact your Toyota
dealer and have your vehicle inspected.
