"H" mode (high speed position, two−
wheel drive): Front drive control lever at
"H", "4WD" switch left out
Use this for normal driving on dry hard−
surfaced roads. This position gives greater
economy, quietest ride and least wear and
better vehicle control.
"H" mode (high speed position, four−
wheel drive, center differential
locked): Front drive control lever at "H",
"4WD" switch pushed once, center differ-
ential lock switch left out
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard−surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow−covered roads. This
position provides greater traction
two−wheel drive.
"H" mode (high speed position, four−
wheel drive, center differential locked):
Front drive control lever at "H", "4WD"
button pushed once center differential lock
switch pushed once
Use this for greater traction when you
experience a loss of power, such as
wheel slipping, in the center differential
unlock mode.
"N" mode (neutral position): Front drive
control lever at "N"
No power is delivered to the wheels. The
vehicle must be stopped.

"L4" mode (low speed position, four−
wheel drive, center
locked): Front drive control lever at "L4",
center differential lock switch left out
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for climbing steep hills, off−road
driving, and hard pulling in sand or mud.
In this mode, the braking feeling that oc-
un- curs when the wheels are negotiating a
sharp corner is further reduced than in the
"L4" (low position, four−wheel drive, center
differential locked) mode.
If you place the transmission shift lever at
"2" in this mode, the transmission auto-
matically shifts up from second gear. This
than
system is effective when starting your ve-
hicle in sand, mud, ice or snow. (Howev-
er, the transmission system may shift up
from first gear when the vehicle starts too
quickly.)
"L4" mode (low speed position, four−
differential un- wheel drive, center differential locked):
Front drive control lever at "L4", center
differential lock switch pushed once
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for hard pulling in situations the
vehicle cannot negotiate even in the "L4"
(low speed position, four−wheel drive, cen-
ter differential unlocked) mode. Also, using
this mode when driving down steep off−
road inclines will help contribute to in-
creased vehicle stability.
The indicator shows which transfer and
center differential mode the vehicle is in.
When the shifting operation has not been
completed after moving the lever, the
indicator flashes. If the indicator light does
not go off when you push out the center
differential lock
ahead while accelerating or decelerating,
or drive in reverse. If the indicator flashes
even if doing so, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. There may be
a trouble in the four wheel drive system.
See "(c) Shifting procedure" for further in-
structions.
