(i) 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 300.
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.
Four–wheel drive system—

“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.
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. The center differential lock system opera-
tion 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 164.
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.

151
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 four −wheel drive control lever in
the “L” position and the automatic
transmission lever in the “R” position
(As for the automatic transmission lever
positions, see “Automatic transmission” on
page 145.)
(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.

155
If the vehicle is going to skid during driv-
ing, the slip indicator light flashes and an
alarm sounds intermittently.
When you turn the ignition switch on, the
slip indicator light will come on. The slip
indicator light will go off after a few sec-
onds.Pushing the center differential lock button
automatically turns the vehicle stability
control system off. At this time, the “VSC
OFF” indicator comes on with the center
differential lock indicator light. (For details,
see “Four−wheel drive system—(a)Four −
wheel drive control” on page 149.)Vehicle stability control system failure
warning
These lights warn when there is a prob-
lem somewhere in the vehicle stability
control system or active traction control
system.
If the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light come on, have your
vehicle checked by your Toyota dealer as
soon as possible. However, there is no
problem if the “VSC/TRAC” warning light
comes on when the brake actuator tem-
perature becomes high. (For details, see
“Active traction control system” on page
152.)

156
When the “ABS” warning light comes on,
the vehicle stability control system is not
operating.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light will come on when the
ignition key is turned “ON”, and will go off
after a few seconds.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and “VSC
OFF” indicator light may stay on for 60
seconds after the ignition key is turned to
“ON” position. It is normal if they go off
after a few seconds.
Depressing the brake pedal repeatedly
may turn on the lights. It is normal if they
go off after a few seconds.
When the “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“VSC OFF” indicator light come on, the
vehicle stability control system is not op-
erating, but there is no problem if you
continue to drive.
In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light, “VSC
OFF” indicator light and slip indicator
light do not come on after the ignition
key is turned “ON”.
The “VSC/TRAC” warning light and
“VSC OFF” indicator light remain on af-
ter the ignition key is turned “ON”.
The “VSC OFF” indicator light comes
on while driving without pushing the
center differential lock switch.The tire pressure warning system warns
you that the tire inflation pressure is
low.
The tire pressure warning system is not
a substitute for checking normal tire infla-
tion pressure. Check the tire inflation
pressure with a tire pressure gauge regu-
larly.
CAUTION
The warning system may not activate
immediately if bursts or sudden air
leakage should occur.
16C521a
The tire pressure warning light comes on
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and goes off after a few
seconds. This means the tire pressure
warning light is operating properly. If the
tire inflation pressure becomes low, the
light comes on again. In this case, adjust-
ing the tire inflation pressure will turn off
the light after a few minutes. If the light
blinks, the tire pressure warning system is
not working properly.
