hard-surfaced roads. This position
gives greater economy, quietest
ride and least wear.
“4H” (high speed position,
four-wheel drive)
Use this for drivi ng only on tracks
that permit the tires slide, like off-
road, icy or snow-covered roads.
This position prov ides greater trac-
tion than two-wheel drive.
The “4H” indicat or will come on.
“4L” (low speed position, four-wheel drive)
Use this for maximum power and
traction. Use “4L” for climbing or
descending steep hills, off-road
driving, and hard
pulling in sand,
mud or deep snow.
The “4L” indicat or will come on.
■Shifting from “2H” to “4H”
1 Reduce vehicle speed to less
than 62 mph (100 km/h).
2 Push and shift the front-
wheel drive control switch to

■If the “4H” indicator flashes
The transfer mode may not suc-
cessfully change. Drive straight
ahead while accelerating or deceler-
ating, or drive in reverse.
■If the “4H” indicator is ON and
the “4L” indicator continues to
flash
A message will be displayed in the
multi-information display. Follow a
message, shift the shift lever to D or
R and drive the vehicle slowly, then
stop.
■If the “4H” indicator continues
to flash and the “4L” indicator
is ON
A message will be displayed in the
multi-information display. Follow a
message, shift the shift lever to D or
R and drive the vehicle slowly, then

■If the “4H” indicator is ON and
the “4L” indicator continues to
flash and a buzzer sounds
The shift lever is not in N and/or the
vehicle is moving . Stop the vehicle
completely, shift th e shift lever to N
and make sure that the indicator
stops flashing.
■If the “4H” indicator continues
to flash and the “4L” indicator
is ON and a buzzer sounds
The shift lever is not in N and/or the
vehicle is moving. Stop the vehicle
completely, shift the shift lever to N
and make sure that the indicator
stops flashing
■If the “4H” and “4L” indicator
flashes rapidly
There may be a malfunction in the
four-wheel drive system. Have the
vehicle inspected by your Toyota
dealer immediately.
■Four-wheel drive usage fre-
quency
You should drive in four-wheel drive
for at least 10 miles (16 km) each
month. This will assure that the front
drive components are lubricated.
WARNING
■Shifting the front-wheel drive
control switch from “2H” to
“4H” while driving
Never operate the front-wheel
drive control switch if the wheels
are slipping. Stop the slipping or
spinning before shifting.
■When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before
the “4L” indicator turns on/off, the
transfer mode may not be shifted
completely. The transfer mode
disengages both the front and
rear driveshafts from the power-
train and allows the vehicle to
move regardless of the shift posi-
tion. (At this time, the indicator
blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to
roll even if the automatic trans-
mission is in P. You or someone
else could be seriously injured.
You must complete the shifting of
the transfer mode before placing
transmission in P.

wheels begins to spin. The
system should be used only
when one of the drive
wheels spinning occurs in a
ditch or rough surface.
