CAUTION
Always make sure the shoulder belt
is positioned across the center of
child’s shoulder. The belt should be
kept away from child’s neck, but
not falling off child’s s houlder.
Otherwise, the child may be killed
or seriously injured in case of sud-
den braking or a collision.
Both highpositioned lap belts and
loosefitting belts could cause
death or serious injuries due to
sliding under the lap belt during a
collision or other unintended event.
Keep the lap belt positioned as low
on a child’s hips as possible.
For child’s safety, do not place the
shoulder belt under child’s arm.
After inserting the tab, make sure
the tab and buckle are locked and
that the lap and shoulder portions
of the belt are not twisted.
Do not insert coins, clips, etc. in
the buckle as this may prevent your
child from properly latching the tab
and buckle.
If the seat belt does not function

Contact your Toyota dealer immedi-
ately. Do not install the child
restraint system on the seat until

Use the “2WD/4HI” and “4LO” buttons
to select the following transfer modes.
1. “2WD” (high speed position, two wheel drive): “2WD/4HI” and “4LO”
buttons left out
Use this for normal driving on dry,
hard− surfaced roads. This position
gives greater economy, the quietest
ride and least wear.
2. “4HI” (high speed position, four wheel drive): “2WD/4HI” button pushed
in
The “4HI” (high speed four −wheel
drive) indicator light comes on when
the “4HI” mode is selected.
Use this for normal driving on wet, icy
or snow −covered roads. This position
provides greater traction than two −
wheel drive.
In this mode, the vehicle stability con-
trol system is off. (See “Vehicle stabil-
ity control system” in this Section.) 3. “4LO” (low speed position, four
wheel drive): With the “2WD/4HI”
button pressed in, push the “4LO”
button
The “4LO” (low speed four −wheel drive)
indicator light comes on when the
“4LO” mode is selected.
Use this for maximum power and trac-
tion. Use “4LO” mode for climbing or
descending steep hills, off −road driving,
and hard pulling in s and, mud or deep
snow.
In this mode, the vehicle stability con-
trol system is off. (See “Vehicle stabil-
ity control system” in this Section.)
See “(c) Shifting procedure (button type)”
for further instructions.
Advice for driving on slippery roads in
“4LO” (low speed position, four wheel
drive) mode
If you push the “4LO” button with the
“2WD/4HI” button pressed in and shift the
automatic transmission lever to “2” when
you drive in steep off −road areas, the out-
put of the brake can be controlled effec-
tively by the traction control system,
which assists the driver to control the
driving power of 4 wheels.
