Four−Wheel Drive System - Toyota Land Cruiser 2016 Owner's Manual

Good driving practice
If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
D
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
D
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use fifth gear.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.
NOTICE
z Do not use any gears other than
first gear when starting off and
moving forward. Doing so may dam-
age the clutch.
z Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.

Four−wheel drive system—
(a) Four−wheel drive control
shifting
Use the four−wheel drive control lever
to select the following transfer modes.
"H2" (high speed position, two−wheel
drive): Lever at "H2"
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): Lever at "H4"
Use this for normal driving on wet, icy or
snow−covered roads. This position pro-
vides greater traction than two−wheel
drive.
"N" (neutral position): Lever at "N"
No power is delivered to the wheels. The
vehicle must be stopped.
"L4" (low speed position, four−wheel
drive): Lever at "L4"
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use "L4" for climbing or descending steep
hills, off−road driving, and hard pulling in
sand, mud or deep snow.
VSC is automatically turned off when the
"L4" mode is selected.
The four−wheel drive indicator light comes
on when the "H4", "N" or "L4" mode is
selected.
See "(c) Shifting procedure" for further
instructions.
