First check the following:
● Is the fuel empty?
If it is, fill the fuel tank immediately.
● Is the fuel tank cap loose?
If it is, tighten it securely.
The malfunction indicator lamp will go off after taking several driving trips. If
the malfunction indicator lamp does not go off even after several trips, con-
tact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible.

there may be a malfunction in the engine, the brake system or the four-
wheel drive system. In this case, you may not be able to transfer between
“H4” and “L4” modes, and the center differential lock may not be able to be
locked or unlocked. Have the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer imme-
diately.
