(c) Shifting procedure (with
manual transmission)
SHIFTING BETWEEN "H2" AND "H4"
To shift from "H2" to "H4", reduce the
vehicle speed to less than 100 km/h (62
mph) and turn the front drive control
switch knob fully clockwise.
If the four- wheel drive indicator light con-
tinues to blink when you operate the front
drive control switch knob from the "H2" to
the "H4" position, this reminds you that
the transfer mode is not securely in "H4"
mode. Drive straight ahead while acceler-
ating or decelerating.
If the four- wheel drive indicator light con-
tinues to blink and the buzzer sounds
when you operate the front drive control
switch knob from the "H2" to the "H4"
position, this reminds you that the transfer
mode is not in "H4" mode. Stop the ve-
hicle or reduce the vehicle speed to less
than 100 km/h (62 mph). Operate the
switch knob again.
CAUTION
Never operate the front drive control
switch knob if the wheels are slip-
ping. Stop the slipping or spinning
before operating.
To shift from "H4" to "H2", turn the
front drive control switch knob fully coun-
terclockwise.
This can be done at any speed. You need
not depress the clutch pedal.
If the four- wheel drive indicator light con-
tinues to blink when you operate the front
drive control switch knob from the "H4" to
the "H2" position, this reminds you that
the transfer mode is not securely in "H2"
mode. Drive straight ahead while acceler-
ating or decelerating, or drive forward or
backward in a short distance.
If the indicator light continues to blink
even if doing so, contact your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. There may be
a trouble in the four- wheel drive system.
CAUTION
Never operate the front drive control
switch knob if the wheels are slip-
ping. Stop the slipping or spinning
before operating.
