door toward out as shown.
When refueling, turn off the engine.
CAUTION
Do not smoke, cause sparks or al-
low open flames when refueling.
The fumes are flammable.
When opening the cap, do not re-
move the cap quickly. In hot weath-
er, fuel under pressure could cause
injury by spraying out of the filler
neck if the cap is suddenly re-
moved.
Do not fill a fuel container in the
bed under any circumstances. A
static electricity charge could cause
a spark and fire hazard. The proper
procedure is to place an approved
fuel container on the ground away
from the truck for filling.

wise until one click is heard, in order
to fully close it. The cap returns slight-
ly when your hand is released from the

Improperly seated and/or restrained
infants and children can be killed
or seriously injured by the
deploying airbags. An infant or
child who is too small to use a seat
belt should be properly secured
using a child restraint system. For
instructions concerning the
installation of a child restraint
system, see “Child restraint” on
page 115 in this Section.

Indicator light
The passenger airbag system is
equipped with a off switch and indica-
tor light. Turning the passenger airbag
off switch clockwise to the “AUTO”
position makes the front passenger air-
bag system operational. To disable the
front passenger airbag system, turn the
off switch counterclockwise to the
“OFF” position and remove the key. The
“OFF” indicator light will come on
when the front passenger airbag system
has been disabled.
See “—Passenger airbag off switch” on
page 86 in this Section for detail.
CAUTION
Do not turn off the passenger air-
bag off switch except when a mem-
ber of a passenger risk group iden-
tified in TABLE 1 is occupying the
right front passenger seating posi-
tion.
When the passenger airbag off
switch is turned off, the front pas-
senger airbag will not inflate in a
collision and turning off the front
passenger airbag can reduce the
occupant protection which your ve-
hicle safety systems can provide to
you in certain accidents and in-
crease the likelihood of death or
serious injuries.

(shaded in the illustration) is scratched,
cracked, or otherwise damaged.
NOTICE

jury to the child if the rearfacing
child restraint system is installed on
the front passenger seat.

The “4LO” (low speed four−wheel drive)
indicator light comes on when the “4L”
mode is selected.
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use “4L” position for climbing or descend-
ing steep hills, off −road driving, and hard
pulling in sand, mud or deep snow.
See “(c) Shifting procedure” for further in-
structions.
In this mode, the vehicle stability control
system is off. (See “Vehicle stability
control system” on page 250 in this
Section.) The A.D.D. can be engaged or disen-
gaged by the shifting operations de-
scribed 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” AND “4H”
To shift from “2WD” to “4H”,
reduce the
vehicle speed to less than 100 km/h (62
mph) and turn the front drive control
switch knob fully clockwise.
When the ambient temperature is −15 C
(5.0 F) or lower, shifting must be per-
formed with the vehicle speed below 70
km/h (43 mph).
If the “4HI” (high speed four −wheel drive)
indicator light continues to blink when you
operate the front drive control switch knob
from the “2WD” to the “4H” position, this
reminds you that the transfer mode is not
securely in “4H” mode. Drive straight
ahead while accelerating or decelerating.
If the “4HI” (high speed four −wheel drive)
indicator light continues to blink and the
buzzer sounds when you operate the front
drive control switch knob from the “2WD”
to the “4H” position, this reminds you that
the transfer mode is not in “4H” mode.
Stop the vehicle or reduce the vehicle
speed to less than 100 km/h (62 mph).
(When the ambient temperature is −15 C
(5.0 F) or lower, speed needs to be re-
duced to below 70 km/h (43 mph).) Oper-
ate the switch knob again.

CAUTION
Never operate the front drive control
switch knob if the wheels are slip-
ping. Stop the slipping or spinning
before operating.
To shift from “4H” to “2WD”, reduce the
vehicle speed to less than 100 km/h (62
mph) and turn the front drive control
switch knob fully counterclockwise.
When you operate the front drive control
switch knob from “4H” to “2WD” with the
vehicle speed at 100 km/h (62 mph) or
higher, the “4HI” indicator light continues
to blink and buzzer sounds. When the
switch knob is returned from “2WD” to
“4H”, the indicator light turns off and the
buzzer stops sounding.
If the “4HI” (high speed four −wheel drive)
indicator light continues to blink when you
operate the front drive control switch knob
from the “4H” to the “2WD” position, this
reminds you that the transfer mode is not
securely in “2WD” mode. Drive straight
ahead while accelerating or decelerating,
or drive forward or backward for a short
distance. If there is any malfunction within the
brake system, “4HI” or “4LO” indicator
light blinks and the transfer mode may not
be able to be shifted from “4H” to “2WD”.
If the indicator light continues to blink
even if doing so, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. There may be
a trouble in the four
−wheel drive system.
CAUTION
Never operate the front drive control
switch knob if the wheels are slip-
ping. Stop the slipping or spinning
before operating.
SHIFTING BETWEEN “4H” AND “4L”
To shift between “4H” and “4L”
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop with the brake pedal held down.
2. Shift the automatic transmission selec- tor lever into “N”.
3. To shift from “4H” to “4L”, push and turn the front drive control switch knob
fully clockwise.
To shift from “4L” to “4H”, turn the
front drive control switch knob counter-
clockwise. 4. Maintain this condition until the “4LO”
or “4HI” indicator light comes on.
If the “4LO” indicator light continues to
blink...
If this indicator light continues to blink
when you operate the front drive control
switch knob to the “4H” or “4L” position,
stop the vehicle completely, shift the auto-
matic transmission selector lever securely
into “N” and operate the switch knob
again.
INFORMATION
 If the engine coolant temperature is
too low the transfer mode may not
be able to be shifted. When the en-
gine is warmer operate the switch
knob again.
 If the automatic transmission selec-
tor lever is moved before the indi-
cator comes on, the transfer mode
may not be shifted completely. In
this case, stop the vehicle com-
pletely, return the automatic trans-
mission selector lever to “N” and
operate the switch knob again.
