2007 TOYOTA SEQUOIA lock

1812007 SEQUOIA from Aug. ’07 Prod. (OM34462U)
“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 208 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 175 in this Section.)

The A.D.D. can be engaged or disen-
gaged by the shifting operations des-
cribed in “(c) Shifting procedure”.
You should drive in four−wheel drive for
at least 16 km (10 miles) each month.
This will assure that the front drive com-
ponents are lubricated. SHIFTING BETWEEN “2WD” MODE AND
“4HI” MODE

The brake pad or actuator temperature
increases during continuous operation of
the active traction control system or ve-
hicle stability control system such as on
slippery roads. If the brake pad or actua-
tor temperature becomes too high while
the active traction control system or ve-
hicle stability control system is operating,
a buzzer will start to sound intermittently
to indicate that the active 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 “VSC TRAC” warning light
will come on and the active traction con-
trol system temporarily stops operating in
order to protect the brake pad. (Although
the active traction control system does not
operate, there is no problem to continue
your driving.) The system will be automati-
cally restored after a short time and the
warning light goes out.
If the light comes on while driving, the
active traction control system does not
work. However, as conventional braking
operates when applied, there is no prob-
lem to continue your driving. In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:
The warning light does not come on
after the ignition key is turned to “ON”.
The warning light remains on after the
ignition key is turned to “ON”.
The warning light comes on while driv-
ing.
The “VSC OFF” indicator light will come
on when the “VSC TRAC” warning light
comes on even if the center differential
lock switch is not pushed. The vehicle stability control system
helps provide integrated control of the
systems such as antilock brake sys-
tem, traction control, engine control,
etc. This system automatically controls
the brakes and engine to help prevent
the vehicle from skidding when corner-
ing on a slippery road surface or oper-
ating steering wheel abruptly.
The vehicle stability control system is acti-
vated when the vehicle speed is more
than the following speed.
Tw o
−wheel drive models:
15 km/h (9 mph)
Four −wheel drive models:
“2WD” or “4HI” mode 15 km/h (9 mph)
“4LO” mode 30 km/h (18 mph)
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the sys-
tem is in the self −check mode but does
not indicate a malfunction.

CAUTION
Do not rely excessively on the ve-
hicle stability control system. Even
if the vehicle stability control sys-
tem is operating, you must always
drive carefully and attentively to
avoid serious injury. Reckless driv-
ing will result in an unexpected ac-
cident. If the slip indicator light
blinks, sounding an alarm sounds,
special care should be taken while
driving.
Only use tires of specified size. The
size, manufacturer, brand and tread
pattern for all 4 tires should be the
same. If you use the tires other
than specified, or different type or
size, the vehicle stability control
system may not function correctly.
When replacing the tires or wheels,
contact your Toyota dealer. (See
“Checking and replacing tires” on
page 440 in Section 72.)

somewhere in the vehicle stability control
system, traction control system (two−wheel
drive models) or active traction control
system (four −wheel drive models).
The warning light will come on when the
ignition key is turned to “ON” and will go
off after a few seconds.
If the light comes on while driving, the
system does not work. However, as con-
ventional braking operates when applied,
there is no problem to continue your driv-
ing. In the following cases, contact your Toyota
dealer:

TIRE PRESSURE WARNING RESET
SWITCH
When initializing the system, the present
tire inflation pressure is stored as stan-
dard. The tire pressure warning system
determines decreased air pressure by
comparing the present and the standard
tire inflation pressures. When you change
the set tire inflation pressure, it is neces-
sary to initialize the tire pressure warning
system.
When rotating the tires on vehicles dif-
fering with front and rear tire inflation
pressures.
When changing the tire inflation pres-
sure by changing traveling speed or
load weight, etc.
When changing the tire size.
To initialize the system, perform the
following: 1. Park the vehicle in a safe place and turn the ignition key to the “ACC” or
“LOCK” position.
2. Adjust the pressure of all the installed tires (including spare) to the specified
cold tire inflation pressure level. (See
“Tires” on page 466 in Section 8.)
3. Turn the ignition key to the “ON” posi- tion.
4. Push and hold the tire pressure warn- ing reset switch until the tire pressure
warning light blinks slowly three times.
5. Wait for a few minutes with the ignition key “ON”, and then turn the ignition
key to the “ACC” or “LOCK” position.
If you push the tire pressure warning re-
set switch while vehicle is moving, initiali-
zation is not performed. If you push the tire pressure warning re-
set switch accidentally and initialization is
performed, adjust the tire inflation pres-
sure to the specified level and initialize
the system again.
