Driving
Operate the Multi-terrain Select
mode select switch during Multi-
terrain Select control to select a
mode.
Once the mode is confirmed, the
mode name will be displayed and
the control will switch.
■Automatic system cancelation
In the following situations, the Multi-terrain Select indicator will go off, and
Multi-terrain Select will be canceled automatically
● When the four-wheel drive control switch is in H4.
● When Active TRAC and VSC are off.
■ When it is difficult to generate traction
MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed by
LOOSE ROCK, MOGUL, ROCK & DIRT and ROCK mode.
Drivability can be improved by selecting a mode which provides a smaller
amount of tire slippage than the current mode when the amount o f tire slip-
page is large, or conversely selecting a mode which provides a larger amount
of tire slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slippage is
small.
■ When the vehicle is stuck

Driving assist systems
◆Multi Terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenl y, or if the
brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface, or in off-road
conditions (such as rough roads, sand and mud)
◆Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces
◆Active TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spi nning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads, or in off-road
conditions
◆Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when start ing on
an incline or slippery slope
◆KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System)
KDSS helps to enhance ride comfort and handling response by usi ng a
hydraulic control system to control the suspension stabilizer b ars in
response to road surface and driving conditions during cornerin g or off-
road driving
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following
systems operate autom atically in response to various driving
situations. Be aware, however, that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be relied upon too heavily when operat-
ing the vehicle.

4-6. Driving tips
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 d amage.
● Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deteriorat ion in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibrati on, 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 riverbed for firmn ess. Drive
slowly and avoid deep water.
■ Inspection after off-road driving
● Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around bra ke
discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo-
nents.
● Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-r oad driv-
ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or wat er. For
scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Main tenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.

4-6. Driving tips
●Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the
parking brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from
being released. If the vehicle is parked without setting the pa rking
brake, make sure to block the wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerou s because it may cause the vehi-
cle to move unexpectedly, pos sibly leading to an accident.
● If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm
that the shift lever c annot be moved out of P
*.
*: The shift lever will be locked if it is attempted to be shifte d from P to any
other position without depressing the brake pedal. If the shift lever can be
shifted from P, there may be a problem with the shift lock syst em. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
Use the correct tire ch ain size when mounting the snow chains.
Chain size is regulate d for each tire size.
Side chain
(0.20 in. [5 mm] in diameter)
Cross chain
(0.25 in. [6.3 mm] in diameter)
Regulations regarding the use of tire chains vary depending on loca-
tion and type of road. Always chec k local regulations before installing
chains.
■ Tire chain installation
Observe the following precautions when installing and removing chains:
● Install and remove tire chains in a safe location.
● Install tire chains on the rear tires. Do not install tire chains on the front tires.
● Install tire chains on rear tires as tightly as possible. Retig hten chains after
driving 1/4 - 1/2 mile (0.5 - 1.0 km).
● Install tire chains following the instructions provided with th e tire chains.

LC200_OM_OM60R53U_(U)
WARNING
■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 winds hield to fog
up, blocking your vision.
■ To prevent burns
● Do not touch the rear view mirror surfaces when the outside rear view mir-
ror defoggers are on.
● Do not touch the glass at lower part of the windshield or to the side of the
front pillars when the windshield wiper de-icer is on. (vehicle s with wind-
shield wiper de-icer)
NOTICE
■ To prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the air conditioning system on longer than necessa ry when the
engine is not running.
● Do not place anything on the instrument
panel which may cover the air outlets.
Otherwise, air flow may be obstructed,
preventing the windshield defoggers
from defogging.
