Cruise control
STARTº ÐStarter motor on. The key will return to the ONº position when released.
For starting tips, see Part 3.
ONº ÐEngine on and all accessories on.
This is the normal driving position. ACCº - Accessories such as the ra-
dio operate, but the engine is off.
If you leave the key in the ACCº or
LOCKº position and open the driver's
door, a buzzer will remind you to remove
the key. LOCKº ÐEngine is off and the steer-
ing wheel is locked. The key can be re-
moved only at this position.
To turn the key from ACCº to the LOCKº position,
you must put the selector lever in
the Pº position. When starting the engine, the key may
seem stuck at the LOCKº position. To
free it, first be sure the key is pushed all
the way in, and then rock the steering
wheel slightly while turning the key gently.
NOTICE
Do not leave the key in the ONº position if the engine is not running.
The battery will discharge and the ignition could be damaged.
Never remove the key when the
vehicle is moving, as this will lock
the steering wheel and result in loss
of steering control. CAUTION
!

72
Use the four-wheel drive control lever
to select the following transfer modes.
Hº (high speed position, center dif-
ferential unlocked): Lever at Hº
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard-surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow-covered roads. This
position gives greater economy, quietest ride, least wear and better vehicle control.
Nº (neutral position): Lever at Nº
No power is delivered to the wheels. Thevehicle must be stopped. Lº (low speed position, four-wheel
drive):
Lever at Lº
Use this for maximum power and traction,
when you experience a loss of power, such as wheel slipping or hard pulling, in the Hº position.
The indicator light tells when the center
differential lock is engaged. Note that the
differential is not s till locked as long as the
indicator light remains off.
If the indicator light does not come on
when the lever is in the Lº position, haveyour vehicle checked by your Toyota deal-
er as soon as possible.
See (b) shifting procedure (with anti-lock brake system)º for further instructions.
In this position, the anti-lock brake sys-
tem does not operate. See Brake sys-
temº in Part 2. To shift between Hº and Lº
, stop the
vehicle, put the transmission into Nº and
move the four-wheel drive control lever.
Never move the four-wheel drive
control lever if wheels are slipping.
Stop the slipping or spinning before
shifting. CAUTION
!
Four-wheel drive systemÐ (a) Four-wheel drive control
(b) Shifting procedure

73
The front and rear differential lock sys- tem is provided for use only when
wheel spinning occurs in a ditch or ona slippery or ragged surface.
This differential lock system is effective in
case one or either right or left pair of the wheels are spinning.
First shift the four-wheel drive control into
Lº with the center differential locked to see if you can move forward. If this does
not work, use the front and rear differential
lock system also.
Do not use the front and rear
differential locks in the conditions
other than above. Large steering
effort and careful cornering control
will be required. Espoecially use of
the front differential lock in addition
to the rear will result in extremely
difficult ssteering control and may cause the vehicle to spin suddenly
during acceleration or enginebraking. CAUTION
!
To lock the rear differential, push and
turn the switch clockwise until it
clicks. If this does not help, turn the
switch fully
clockwise to lock the front
differential in addition.
Be sure to stop the wheels before locking
the differentials.
For easy locking, turn the lock switch and gently depress the accelerator pedal.
Front and rear differential
lock system

74
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.
Do not lock the differential until
the wheels have stopped spin-
ning. Otherwise, the vehicle may
move in an unexpected direction
when the differential lock is en-
gaged, resulting in an accident.
This may also lead to possible
damage to differential lock com-
ponent parts.
Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph)
when the differentials are locked. CAUTION
!
To unlock the differentials, turn the
switch fully counterclockwise.
Unlock the dif ferentials 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 the differential locks are disen-
gaged, the indicator light will go out. The differentials will also unlock if you un-lock
the center dif ferential. Never forget to
turn off the switch after using this feature.
To check the indicator bulb, turn the igni-
tion key to the ONº position, but do not
start the engine.
Do not keep driving with the
differential lock switch on. CAUTION

The light does not come on as de-
scribed above, or remains on.
The light comes on while driving with
the center differential unlocked
The light does not come on with the
center differential locked.
The system comes into operation with
the center differential locked.
Even if the anti-lock brake system should
fail, the brake system will still operate con-
ventionally. However, when the `ABS''
warning light is on (and the brake system
warning light is off), the anti-lock brake
system is not assisting brake perfor- mance so that the wheels can lock-up
during sudden braking or braking on slip-
pery road surfaces. Have your vehicle
checked by your Toyota dealer as soon as
possible
Drum-in-disc type parking brake sys- tem
Your vehicle has a drum-in-disc type
parking brake system. This type of brake
system needs bedding-down of the brake
shoes periodically or whenever the park-
ing brake shoes and/or drums are re- placed.
Have your Toyota dealer perform the bed-
ding-down.
The brake pads wear limit indicators
on your disc brakes give a warning
noise w hen the brake pads are worn to
where replacement is required.
If you hear a squealing or scraping noise
while driving, have the brake pads
checked and replaced by your Toyota
dealer as soon as possible. Expensive ro-
tor damage can result if the pads are not
replaced when necessary. When stowing luggage or cargo in the ve-
hicle, observe the following:
Put luggage or cargo in the trunk when
at all possible. Be sure all items are se- cured in place.
Be careful to keep the vehicle bal-
anced. Locating the weight as far for-
ward as possible helps maintain bal- ance.
For better fuel economy, do not carryunneeded weight.
CAUTION!
To prevent luggage or packages
from sliding forward during brak-
ing, do not stack anything behind
the front seats higher than the seatbacks.
Never allow anyone to ride in the
luggage compartment. It is not
designed for passengers. They
should ride in their seats with
their seat belts properly fastened.
Otherwise, they are much more
likely suffer serious bodily injury,in the event of sudden braking or a collision.

CAUTION
Always observe the following
precautions to minimize the risk of
serious per sonal injury or damage to
your vehicle: Drive carefully when off the road.
Do not take unnecessary risks by
driving in dangerous places.
Do not grip the steering wheel
spokes when driving off-road. A
bad bump could jerk the wheel and
injure your hands. Keep both
hands and especially your thumbson the outside of the rim.
Always check your brakes for effec-
tiveness immediately after driving
in sand, mud, water or snow.
After driving through tall grass,
mud, rock, sand, rivers, etc., check
that there is no grass, bush, paper,
rags, stone, sand etc. adhering or
trapped on the underbody. If the ve-
hicle is used with these materials
trapped or adhered to the under-
body, a breakdown or fire could oc-
cur.!
The driver and all passengers
should fasten their seat belts
whenever the vehicle is moving.

If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams,
first check the depth of the waterand the bottom of the river bed for
firmness. Drive slowly and avoiddeep water.
Take all necessary safety mea-sures to ensure that water dam-
age to the engine or other compo-nents does not occur.
Water entering the engine air in-take will cause severe enginedamage.
Water can wash the grease fromwheel bearings, causing rustingand premature failure, and may
also enter the differential,transmission and transfer case,
reducing the gear oil's lubricatingqualities.
NOTICE
Sand and mud that has accumu-lated in brake drums and around
brake discs may affect braking ef-ficiency and may damage brake
system components.
Always perform a maintenance in-
spection after each day of off-road driving that has taken you
through sand, mud, or water. Forscheduled maintenance informa-
tion, refer to the separate Own-er's Manual Supplement/Mainte-
nance Scheduleº.
