2−4. Using other driving systems
Four−wheel drive system
Use the fourwheel drive control sw itch and center differential lock/
unlock switch to select the followin
g transfer and center differential
modes.
nFourwheel drive control switch
“H4” (high speed position)
Normal driving on all types of
roads.
“L4” (low speed position)
Driving requiring maximum
power and traction such as
climbing or descending steep
hills, off−road driving, and hard
pulling in sand or mud, etc.
nCenter differential lock/unlock switch
Lock the center differential
when your vehicle’s wheels
get stuck in a ditch or when
driving on a slippery or bumpy

When driving
nIf the low speed fourwheel drive in dicator light or the center differen
tial lock indicator light blinks
lIf the low speed four−wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when
using the four−wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely,
move the shift lever to “N” and operate the switch again.
lIf the shift lever is moved before the low speed four−wheel drive indicator
light has turned on/off, a beep sounds and the transfer position may not
successfully change. In this case, stop the vehicle completely, return the
shift lever to “N” and operate the switch again.
lIf the engine coolant temperature is too low, the four−wheel drive control
system may not be able to shift. When the engine is warmer press the
switch again.
If the low speed four−wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock
indicator light continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may
be a malfunction in the engine, the brake system or the four−wheel drive sys−
tem. In this case, you may not be able to shift between “H4” and “L4”, and
the center differential lock may not be operable. Have the vehicle inspected
by your Toyota dealer immediately.

When driving
NOTICE
nTo prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the
engine or other components does not occur.
lWater entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.
lWater entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti−
mately damage.
lWater can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre−
mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and
transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
nWhen you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check
the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive
slowly and avoid deep water.
nInspection after offroad driving
l
Sand and mud that has accumulat ed in brake drums and around brake
discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo−
nents.
l
Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off−road driv−
ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For
scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner ’s Manual Supplement”.

Capacity and distribution
Cargo capacity depends on the total weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capa
city) — (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct Load Limit—
(1) Locate the statement “The co
mbined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehi−
cle’s placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers
that will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of
the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs.
(4) The resulting figure equals the available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity.
For example, if the “XXX” amount
equals 1400 lbs. and there will
be five 150 lb passengers in your vehicle, the amount of avail−
150) = 650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle.
That weight may not safely ex
ceed the available cargo and lug−
gage load capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle. Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle. (
