The SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner devices in your Toyota contain
explosive chemicals. If the vehicle is scrapped with the airbags and seat belt
pretensioners left as they are, this may cause an accident such as fire. Be
sure to have the systems of the SRS airbag and seat belt pretensioner
removed and disposed of by a qualified service shop or by any authorized
Toyota retailer or Toyota authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer before
you scrap your vehicle.
Scrapping of your Toyota
WARNING
Q General precautions while driving
Driving under the influence: Never drive your vehicle when under the influ-
ence of alcohol or drugs that have impair ed your ability to operate your vehi-
cle. Alcohol and certain drugs delay reaction time, impair judgment and
reduce coordination, which could lead to an accident that could result in
death or serious injury.
Defensive driving: Always drive defensively. Anticipate mistakes that other
drivers or pedestrians might make and be ready to avoid accidents.
Driver distraction: Always give your full attention to driving. Anything that
distracts the driver, such as adjusting controls, talking on a cellular phone or
reading can result in a collision with resulting death or serious injury to you,
your occupants or others.
Q General precaution regarding children’s safety
Never leave children unattended in the vehicle, and never allow children to
have or use the key.
Children may be able to start the vehicle or shift the vehicle into neutral.
There is also a danger that children may injure themselves by playing with
the windows or other features of the vehicle. In addition, heat build-up or
extremely cold temperatures inside the vehicle can be fatal to children.

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.

Driving assist systems
XABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the
brakes are applied while driving on a slippery road surface
XBrake assist (if equipped)
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed when the system detects a panic stop situation
XVSC (Vehicle Stability Control) (if equipped)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on
slippery road surfaces
XTRC (Traction Control) for Pre Runner and H2 position on 4WD
models (if equipped)
Helps to maintain drive power and pr event the drive wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
XA-TRC (Active Traction Control) for H4 and L4 position on 4WD
models (if equipped)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the four wheels from spinning
when starting the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads
XHill-start assist control (if equipped)
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on
an uphill
XEmergency brake signal (if equipped)
When the brakes are applied suddenly, the emergency flashers automati-
cally flash to alert the vehicle behind.
To keep driving safety and performance, the following systems
operate automatically in response to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too heavily when operating the vehi-
cle.

AUTO LSD
The system can be used on Pre Runner and in 2WD mode on 4WD
models.
To turn the AUTO LSD system on,
quickly press and release .
The “AUTO LSD” indicator light
and VSC OFF indicator light will
come on. Press again to turn
the system off.
If the drive wheels spin, the slip
indicator flashes to indicate that
the AUTO LSD system has con-
trolled the spinning of the drive
wheels.
: If equipped
The AUTO LSD system aids traction by using the traction con-
trol system to control engine performance and braking when
one of the drive wheels begins to spin. The system should be
used only when one of the drive wheels spinning occurs in a
ditch or rough surface.
