Downshift restriction
The maximum allowable speeds are as follows.
AI-SHIFT (if equipped)
AI-SHIFT automatically selects the optimal gear according to driver perfor-
mance and driving conditions.
AI-SHIFT automatically operates when the shift lever is in the D position.
The engine speed may remain high after releasing the accelerator pedal.
This does not indicate a malfunction.
When driving with the cruise control system (If equipped)
Engine braking will not occur when downshifting from D to 4. (P. 202)
If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
P. 577

When driving
HILUX_EE (OM0K132E)
Four-wheel drive system
: If equipped
Use the front drive control lever to select the following transfer
modes.
H2 (high speed position, two-wheel drive)
Use this for normal driving on dry hard-surfaced roads. This position
gives greater economy, quietest ride and least wear.
H4 (high speed position, four-wheel drive)
Use this for driving only on tracks that permit the tires slide, like off-
road, icy or snow-covered roads. This position provides greater traction
than two-wheel drive.
The four-wheel drive indicator light comes on
