■If the low speed four-wheel drive in dicator light or the center differen-
tial lock indicator light blinks
● If 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.
● If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The trans-
fer mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the power-
train and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At
this time, the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
“P”. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete
the shifting of the transfer mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever
to “N”, and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off).
● If 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.

CAUTION
■While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost trac-
tion. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time,
the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
“P”. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode. ( P. 200)
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the center differential
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differ-
ential.
● Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface.
● Do not push the center differential lock/unlock button when the vehicle is
turning or when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.

■Active TRAC can be turned off when
The four-wheel drive control switch is in “H4” and the center differential is
unlocked.
■ Automatic reactivation of Active TRAC and VSC
Turning the “ENGINE START STOP” switch off after turning off the Active
TRAC and VSC systems will automatically re-enable them.
■ Automatic Active TRAC reactivation
If only the Active TRAC system is turned off, the Active TRAC system will
turn on when vehicle speed increases.
■ Automatic Active TRAC and VSC reactivation
If the Active TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, the systems will not turn
on even when vehicle speed.
■ If the brake system overheats
The Active TRAC and hill-start assist control will cease operation and a
buzzer will sound to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in a safe place. (There
is no problem with continuing normal driving.)
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the Multi Terrain ABS, brake assist,
Active TRAC, VSC and hill-start assist control
● A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indi-
cate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
● Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly after the Multi Terrain ABS is acti-
vated.
• The brake pedal may move down slightly after the Multi Terrain ABS is activated.
■ Hill-start assist control is operational when
● The shift lever is in “D” or “S”.
● The brake pedal is not depressed.

NOTICE
■To prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the
engine or other components does not occur.
● Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.
● Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti-
mately damage.
● Water 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.
■ When 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.
■ Inspection after off-road driving
● Sand and mud that has accumulate d in brake drums and around brake
discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo-
nents.
● 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”.

■Air conditioning odors
● During use, various odors from inside and outside the vehicle may enter
into and accumulate in the air conditioning system. This may then cause
odor to be emitted from the vents.
● To reduce potential odors from occurring:
• It is recommended that the air conditioning system be set to outside air
mode prior to turning the vehicle off.
• The start timing of the blower may be delayed for a short period of time immediately after the air conditioning system is started in automatic
mode.
■ Customization that can be co nfigured at Toyota dealer
Settings (e.g. A/C Auto switch operation) can be changed.
(Customizable features P. 583)
CAUTION
■To prevent the windshield from fogging up
Do not use during cool air operation in extremely humid weather.
The difference between the temperature of the outside air and that of the
windshield can cause the outer surface of the windshield to fog up, blocking
your vision.
NOTICE
■To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessary when the
engine is stopped.

■Emergency towing procedure
The engine must be in ACCESSORY mode (engine off) or IGNI-
TION ON mode (engine running).
Put the four-wheel drive control swit ch in “H4”. (The center differen-
tial is unlocked.)
Put the shift lever in “N”.
Release the parking brake.
CAUTION
■ While towing
● Use extreme caution when towing the vehicle.
Avoid sudden starts or erratic driving maneuvers which place excessive
stress on the emergency towing hook and the cable or chain. Always be
cautious of the surroundings and other vehicles while towing.
● If the engine is not running, the power assist for the brakes and steering
will not function, making steering and braking more difficult.
NOTICE
■To prevent causing serious dama ge to the transmission
● Never tow this vehicle with the wheels on the ground.
● Use only the front emergency towing hooks or towing eyelets (depending
on vehicles) when towing your vehicle.
