■S mode
When the shift range is 4 or lower, holding the shift lever toward “+” sets the
shift range to 6.
■ Downshifting restrictions warning buzzer
To help ensure safety and driving per formance, downshifting operation may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting may not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
■ Operation of the air conditioning system in Eco drive mode (vehicles
with automatic air conditioning system)
Eco drive mode controls the heating/cooling operations and fan speed of the
air conditioning system to enhance fuel efficiency ( P. 497). To improve air
conditioning performance, adjust the fan speed or turn off Eco drive mode.
■ Deactivation of the driving mode
● Eco drive mode will not be canceled until the “ECO MODE” switch is
pressed, even if the engine is turned off after driving in Eco drive mode.
● Power mode will be canceled if the engine is turned off after driving in power
mode.
■ When driving with cruise control activated (if equipped)
Even when performing the following actions with the intent of enabling engine
braking, engine braking will not activate because cruise control will not be
canceled.
● While driving in S mode, downshifting to 5 or 4. (P. 280)
● When switching the driving mode to power mode while driving in D.
( P. 279)
■ Shift lock system
The shift lock system is a system to prevent accidental operation of the shift
lever in starting.
The shift lever can be shifted from P only when the engine switch is in the
“ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON
mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system) and the brake pedal is being
depressed.

Driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
Washer/wiper dual operation
The wipers will automatically
operate a couple of times after
the washer squirts.
If the headlights are on, the
headlight cleaners will operate
once.
And then, the headlight cleaners
will operate every five times you
pull the lever. (if equipped)
■ The windshield wipers and washer can be operated when
The engine switch is in the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start
system) or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
■ If no windshield washer fluid sprays
Check that the washer nozzles are not blocked if there is washer fluid in the
windshield washer fluid reservoir.

WARNING
■ Caution regarding the use of washer fluid
When it is cold, do not use the washer fluid until the windshield becomes
warm. The fluid may freeze on the windshield and cause low visibility. This
may lead to an accident, resulting in death or serious injury.
NOTICE
■ When the windshield is dry
Do not use the wipers, as they may damage the windshield.
■ When the washer fluid tank is empty
Do not operate the switch continually as the washer fluid pump may over-
heat.
■ When a nozzle becomes blocked
In this case, contact any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized
repairer, or any reliable repairer.
Do not try to clear it with a pin or other object. The nozzle will be damaged.

● The sign is only visible to the camera sensor for a short amount of time.
● The driving scene (turning, lane change, etc.) is judged incorrectly.
● Even if it is a sign not appropriate for the currently traveled lane, such a sign
exists directly after a freeway branches, or in an adjacent lane just before
merging.
● Stickers are attached to the rear of the preceding vehicle.
● A sign resembling a system compatible sign is recognized.
● The vehicle is driven in a country with a different direction of traffic.
● Side road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if positioned in sight
of the camera sensor) while the vehicle is traveling on the main road.
● Roundabout exit road speed signs may be detected and displayed (if posi-
tioned in sight of the camera sensor) while traveling on a roundabout.
● The speed information displayed on the meter and that displayed on the
navigation system (if equipped) may be different due to the multimedia sys-
tem using map data.
■ When driving vehicle in country with different speed unit
Since RSA recognizes signs based on the set unit of the meter, it is neces-
sary to change the set unit of the meter. Adjust the set unit of the meter to the
speed unit of signs in the current location. ( P. 684)
■ Turning the system on/off
Use the meter control switches to select while the vehicle is stopped and
press , and select and press . ( P. 141)
■ Speed limit sign display
If the engine switch was last turned to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without
smart entry & start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system)
while a speed limit sign was displayed on the multi-information display, the
same sign displays again when the engine switch is turned to the “ON” posi-
tion (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or IGNITION ON mode
(vehicles with smart entry & start system).
■ Customization
Setting (e.g. speeding warning threshold) can be changed.
(Customizable feature: P. 683)

Driving
HILUX_OM_OM0K375E_(EE)
Four-wheel drive system
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 trac-
tion than two-wheel drive.
The four-wheel drive indicator
light comes on
L4 (low speed position, four-
wheel drive)
Use this for maximum power and traction. Use L4 for climbing or descend-
ing steep hills, off-road driving, and hard pulling in sand, mud or deep
snow.
The four-wheel drive and low speed four-wheel drive indicator lights
come on
The A.D.D. can be engaged or disengaged by the shifting operations
described in the following shifting procedures.
: If equipped
Use the front-wheel drive control switch to select the following
transfer modes.

If the idling stop time is set to “Long”, change the setting to “Normal”. If an
odor occurs even when “Normal” is selected, press the Stop & Start cancel
switch to deactivate the Stop & Start system.
Vehicles with automatic air conditioning system:
Press the Stop & Start cancel switch to deactivate the Stop & Start system.
■ Changing the idling stop time with the air conditioning system on

ing system is on can be changed by performing the following operation. (The
length of time the Stop & Start system will operate when the air conditioning
system is off cannot be changed.)
Use the meter control switches to select while the vehicle is stopped
and press , and select and press .
Select “Normal” or “Long”, and then press .
■ The Stop & Start system protection function
● When an excessively loud sound is being projected by the audio system,
the audio system may be automatically cut off in order to reduce battery
consumption. If this occurs, turn the engine switch to the “LOCK” position
(vehicles without smart entry & start sy stem) or off (vehicles with smart entry
& start system), wait for 3 seconds or longer and then turn it to the “ACC” or
“ON” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system), or ACCES-
SORY mode or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start sys-
tem) to re-enable the audio system.
● The audio system may not be activated when the battery terminals are dis-
connected and then reconnected. If this occurs, turn the engine switch to
the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry & start system) or off
(vehicles with smart entry & start system), and then repeat the following
operation twice to activate the audio system normally.
• Turn the engine switch to the “ON” position (vehicles without smart entry
& start system), or IGNITION ON mode (vehicles with smart entry & start
system), and then to the “LOCK” position (vehicles without smart entry &
start system) or off (vehicles with smart entry & start system).
