Parking Brake - Toyota Land Cruiser 1996 Owner's Manual

The indicator light will blink when the
switch is turned on. Wait a few seconds for
the system to complete operation. After
the differential is locked, the light will stop
blinking and remain on.
CAUTION
!
D Do not lock the differentials until
the wheels have stopped spin-
ning. Otherwise, the vehicle may
move in an unexpected direction
when the differential locks are en-
gaged, resulting in an accident.
This may also lead to possible
damage to differential lock com-
ponent parts.

D Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph)
when the differentials are locked.
To unlock the differentials, turn the
switch fully counterclockwise.
Unlock the differentials as soon as the ve-
hicle moves out.
For easy unlocking, slightly turn the steer-
ing wheel in either direction while the ve-
hicle is in motion.
When each of the differential locks is dis-
engaged, the indicator light will go out.
The differentials will also unlock if you un-
lock the center differential. Never forget to
turn off the switch after using this feature.
To check the indicator bulb, turn the igni-
tion key to the "ON" position, but do not
start the engine.

ential lock switch on.
