2024-1. Before driving

NOTICE
■When encountering flooded roads or waterlogged roads
Do not drive on a road that has flooded after heavy rain etc. Doing so may
cause the following serious damage to the vehicle:
● Engine stalling
● Short in electrical components
● Engine damage caused by water immersion
● Rubber or mechanical part damage or poor lubrication due to grease
being washed away, or grease becoming contaminated with mud or dirt
In the event that you drive on a flooded road and the vehicle is flooded, or
on a sandy road, be sure to have any authorized Toyota retailer or Toyota
authorized repairer, or any reliable repairer check the following:
● Brake function
● Changes in quantity and quality of oil and fluid used for the engine, trans-
mission, transfer (4WD models), clutch, differential, etc.
● Lubricant condition for the propeller shaft, clutch fork, bearings and sus-
pension joints (where possible), and the function of all joints, bearings, etc.
■ Off-road driving (vehicles with type A wheel ornaments [P. 588])
When driving on muddy roads, rocky terrain or sand, or crossing rivers,
remove the wheel ornaments. Driving with the wheel ornaments installed
may cause the wheel ornaments to be damaged or even fall off.
After off-road driving with the wheel ornaments removed, remove dirt or for-
eign objects from the wheel before reinstalling the wheel ornaments.

3304-5. Using the driving support systems
HILUX_OM_OM0K789E_(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.
