(c) Overdrive switch
You can select either fourth gear (with
overdrive off) or fifth gear (with overdrive
on) by pushing this switch.
To turn the overdrive off, push the switch.
The “O/D OFF” indicator light should come
on. To turn the overdrive on again, push
the switch again. The “O/D OFF” indicator
light should go off.
Always drive your vehicle with the over-
drive on for better fuel economy and
quieter driving.
If the engine is turned off when the over-
drive is off and restarted, the overdrive
will be on automatically.When the cruise control is being used,
even if you downshift the transmission by
pushing and releasing the overdrive
switch, engine braking will not be enabled
because the cruise control is not can-
celled.
For ways to decrease the vehicle speed,
see “Cruise control” on page 205 in this
Section.
(d) Normal driving
1. Start the engine as instructed in “How to start the engine” on page 364 in
Section 3. The transmission must be in
“P” or “N”.
When the front drive control is in “4LO”
mode (low speed, four −wheel drive), the
driving pattern selector setting has no ef-
fect on gear shift timing. (See “Four −wheel
drive system” on page 177 in this Section
for information on the front drive control.)
2. With your foot holding down the brake pedal, shift the selector lever to “D”.
When the lever is in the “D” position, the
automatic transmission system will select
the most suitable gear for running condi-
tions such as normal cruising, hill climb-
ing, hard towing, etc. If the engine coolant temperature is low
or when the front drive control is in “4LO”
mode (low speed, four
−wheel drive), the
transmission will not shift into the over-
drive gear even with the overdrive on.
(See “Four −wheel drive system” on page
177 in this Section for information of the
front drive control.)
CAUTION
Never put your foot on the accelera-
tor pedal while shifting.
3. Release the parking brake and brake pedal. Depress the accelerator pedal
slowly for smooth starting.
If the automatic locking operation linked to
shift lever position is set, all doors are
automatically locked when the shift lever
is moved out of “P” position after the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion and all the doors are closed. For
details, see “—Automatic door locking and
unlocking functions” on page 27 in Section
1 −2.

(f) Using the “3”, “2” and “L”, posi-tions
The “3”, “2” and “L” positions are used for
strong engine braking as described pre-
viously.
With the selector lever in “3”, “2” or
“SHIFT L” switch depressed, the vehicle
can start just as if the lever was in “D”.
With the selector lever in “3” or “2”, the
vehicle will start in first gear and automat-
ically shift to second gear.
With the “SHIFT L” switch depressed, the
transmission is engaged in first gear.NOTICE
Be careful not to overrev the en-
gine. Watch the tachometer to keep
engine rpm from going into the red
zone. The approximate maximum al-
lowable speed for each position is
given above for your reference:
Twowheel drive models “3” 135 km/h (84 mph) . . . . . . .
“2” 90 km/h (56 mph) . . . . . . . .
“L” 50 km/h (31 mph) . . . . . . . .
Fourwheel drive models “2WD” or “4HI” mode“3” 135 km/h (84 mph) . . . . . . .
“2” 90 km/h (56 mph) . . . . . . . .
“L” 50 km/h (31 mph) . . . . . . . .
“4LO” mode “3” 50 km/h (31 mph) . . . . . . . .
“2” 35 km/h (21 mph) . . . . . . . .
“L” 20 km/h (12 mph) . . . . . . . .
Do not continue hill climbing or
hard towing for a long time in the
“3”, “2” or “L” position. This may
cause severe automatic transmis-
sion damage from overheating. To
prevent such damage, “D” position
should be used in hill climbing or
hard towing.
(g) Backing up
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the selector lever to the
“R” position.
NOTICE
Never shift into reverse while the ve-
hicle is moving.
(h) Parking
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. With the brake pedal pressed down, fully depress the parking brake pedal
to apply the parking brake securely.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down, shift the selector lever to the “P” posi-
tion.
CAUTION
Never attempt to move the selector
lever into “P” position under any cir-
cumstances while the vehicle is mov-
ing. Serious mechanical damage and
loss of vehicle control may result.

Use the front drive control switches
and center differential lock switch to
select the transfer and center differen-
tial mode

178
2005 SEQUOIA from Sep. ’04 Prod. (OM34431U)
Use the front drive control switches
and center differential lock switch to
select the transfer and center differen-
tial modes.
In the “4HI” and “4LO” 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 “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 that the center differential
lock indicator light and “VSC OFF”
indicator light turn off.
“2WD” mode (high speed, twowheel
drive)
This mode is the normal driving mode. In
this mode, the “4HI” and “4LO” 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.
“4HI” mode (high speed, fourwheel
drive, center differential unlocked)
To select this mode, press the “2WD/4HI”
switch only. The “4HI” 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. “4HI” mode (high speed, fourwheel
drive, center differential locked)
To select this mode, press the “2DW/4HI”
switch, and then the center differential
lock switch. The “4HI” 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.
“4LO” mode (low speed, fourwheel
drive, center differential unlocked)
To select this mode, press the “4LO”
switch only. The “4LO” 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
“4LO” (low speed, four −wheel drive, center
differential locked) mode.

“4LO” mode (low speed, fourwheel
drive, center differential locked)
To select this mode, press the “4LO”
switch, and then press the center differen-
tial lock switch. The “4LO” 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 “4LO”
(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 “Cruise
control” 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 “(c) Shifting procedure” for further in-
structions.
Advice for driving on slippery roads in
“4LO” (low speed, fourwheel drive)
mode
If you press the “4LO” switch and shift
the automatic transmission 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 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 “4LO” mode
and the automatic transmission in “L”
or the automatic transmission in “D”,
“3” or “2” with the transmission down-
shifting to the first gear
The front drive control in “4LO” mode
and the automatic transmission in “R”
(As for the automatic transmission shift
positions, see “Automatic transmission” on
page 173 in this Section.)
