4-1. Before driving
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When the vehicle is parked
● Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, stop the engine
and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running .
If the vehicle is parked with the shift lever in P but the park ing brake is not
set, the vehicle may start to move, possibly leading to an acci dent.
● If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel dri ve indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the po wertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this
time, the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
P. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode. ( P. 296)
● Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or i mmediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■ When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift
lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an acc ident or fire
due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is park ed in a poorly
ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicl e, leading to
death or a serious health hazard.
■ When braking
● When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this ma y cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other sid e. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
● If the brake booster device does not operate, do not follow oth er vehicles
closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking. In this case,
braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depres sed more
firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. Ha ve your
brakes fixed immediately.
● Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.
● The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems: If one of the
systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal
should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking dist ance will
increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.

4-2. Driving procedures
Automatic transmission
While the engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode, move the
shift lever with the brake pedal depressed.
When shifting the shift lever between P and D, make sure that
the vehicle is completely stopped.
*1: Shifting to the D position allows the system to select a gear suitable for
the driving conditions. Setting the shift lever to the D position is recom-
mended for normal driving.
*2: Selecting shift ranges using S mode restricts the upper limit of the possi-
ble gear ranges, controls engine braking forces, and prevents u nneces-
sary upshifting.

4-2. Driving procedures
■If the shift lever cannot be shifted from P
First, check whether the brake pedal is being depressed.
If the shift lever cannot be shifted with your foot on the brak e pedal, there may
be a problem with the shift lock system. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer, immediately.
The following steps may be used as an emergency measure to ensu re that
the shift lever can be shifted.
Releasing the shift lock:
Set the parking brake.
Turn the engine switch off.
Depress the brake pedal.
■ If the “S” indicator does not come on even after shifting the s hift lever to
S
This may indicate a malfunction in the automatic transmission s ystem. Have
the vehicle inspected by your Toyota dealer immediately.
■ Downshift restriction warning buzzer (S mode)
To help ensure safety and driving performance, downshifting ope ration may
sometimes be restricted. In some circumstances, downshifting ma y not be
possible even when the shift lever is operated. (A buzzer will sound twice.)
Pry the cover up with a flathead screw-
driver or equivalent tool.
To prevent damage to the cover, cover
the tip of the screwdriver with a rag.
Press the shift lock override button.
The shift lever can be shifted while the
button is pressed.

■Automatic system cancelation
Crawl Control
In the following situations, the buzzer will sound intermittently and Crawl Con-
trol will be canceled automatically. In this event, the Crawl C ontrol indicator
will flash and then go off, the Turn Assist indicator will go off (if the Turn Assist
function is in use), and a message stating that Crawl Control h as been turned
off will be displayed on the multi-information display for seve ral seconds.
● When the shift lever is moved to P or N.
● When the four-wheel drive control switch is in H4.
● When the driver’s door is opened.
Turn Assist function
When the center differential is locked, the buzzer will sound i ntermittently and
the Turn Assist function will be canceled automatically. In thi s event, the Turn
Assist indicator will go off, and a message stating that the Tu rn Assist function
has been turned off will be displayed on the multi-information display for sev-
eral seconds.
■ Function limitations
Crawl Control
● In the following situations, brake control can be used to drive downhill at a
constant speed. However, engine control is not available when d riving uphill
at a constant speed.
• When switched to second start mode.
● In the following situation, engine control and brake control wi ll stop tempo-
rarily. In this event, the Crawl Control indicator will flash.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).
Turn Assist function
In the following situations, the Turn Assist function will stop temporarily. In this
event, the Turn Assist indicator will flash.
● When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 6 mph (10km/h).
● When the shift lever is moved to R.
■ When the Crawl Control system is operated continuously
● If Crawl Control is used continuously for a long time, the buzz er will sound, a
malfunction notification will be displayed on the multi-informa tion display,
the Crawl Control indicator will go off, and Crawl Control will be temporarily
inoperable as a result of the brake system overheating. In this event, stop
the vehicle immediately in a safe place, and allow the brake sy stem to cool
down sufficiently until the TRAC OFF indicator goes off. (In th e meantime,
normal driving is possible.)
● If Crawl Control is used continuously for a long time, the buzz er will sound,
the system will be temporarily canceled, and a malfunction noti fication will
be displayed on the multi-information display as a result of th e automatic
transmission system overheating. Stop the vehicle in a safe pla ce until the
display goes off.

4-6. Driving tips
NOTICE
■To prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the
engine or other components does not occur.
● Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine d amage.
● Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deteriorat ion in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibrati on, and ulti-
mately damage.
● Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre-
mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and
transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
■ When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams , first check
the depth of the water and the bottom of the riverbed for firmn ess. Drive
slowly and avoid deep water.
■ Inspection after off-road driving
● Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around bra ke
discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo-
nents.
● Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-r oad driv-
ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or wat er. For
scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Main tenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
