(e) Parking
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Pull the parking brake lever up fully to
securely apply the parking brake.
3. With the brake pedal pressed down,
shift the selector lever to the "P" posi-
tion.
If the four–wheel drive control is in the
"N" position while the selector lever is in
the "P" position,
the transmission will
damage and the wheels will not lock.
CAUTION
While the vehicle is moving, never
attempt to move the selector lever
into "P" position under any circum-
stances. Serious mechanical damage
and loss of vehicle control may re-
sult.

(f) Good driving practice
A
If the transmission repeatedly shifts up
and down between fourth gear and ov-
erdrive gears when climbing a gentle
slope, shift the selector lever to the "4"
position. Be sure to shift the selector
lever to the "D" position immediately
afterward.
A
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use overdrive.
CAUTION
Always keep your foot on the brake
pedal while stopped with the engine
running. This prevents the vehicle
from creeping.
NOTICE
Always use the brake pedal or the
parking brake to hold the vehicle on
an upgrade. Do not attempt to hold
the vehicle using the accelerator ped-
al, as this can cause the transmission
to overheat.
(g) Driving in "PWR" (Power) mode
In the "PWR" mode, the transmission is
shifted up and down at a higher vehicle
speed than in the Normal mode and a
more powerful acceleration is achieved. To
set the "PWR" mode, push in the driving
pattern selector button. The "PWR" mode
indicator light comes on.
For ordinary driving, Toyota recommends
using the Normal mode to improve fuel
economy.
(h) If you cannot shift the selector le-
ver out of "P" position
If you cannot shift the selector lever from
the "P" position even though the brake
pedal is depressed, use the shift lock
override button. For instructions, see "If
you cannot shift automatic transmission
selector lever" on page 266.
