When the vehicle speed exceeds 40 km/h
(25 mph), the four- wheel drive lock will
be cancelled automatically.
The four- wheel drive lock indicator will
come on for a few seconds when the
ignition key is turned to “ON”.
If the indicator light does not come on
when the ignition key is turned to “ON” or
the
four- wheel drive lock switch is
pushed, contact your Toyota dealer.
NOTICE
Use the four- wheel drive lock only
when driving on the loose surfaces,
such as sand, gravel, or deep snow,
or if the vehicle gets stuck. After the
four- wheel drive lock is used to pro-
vide traction, cancel the four- wheel
drive lock. Using the four- wheel drive
lock at other times may cause dam-
age to the four- wheel drive system.
SYSTEM FAILURE WARING
The “4WD” warning light warns that there
is a problem somewhere in the active
torque control 4WD system.
The light will come on when the ignition
key is turned to “ON”. When the system
works properly, the light turns off after a
few seconds.
If the warning light does not come on
when the ignition key is turned to “ON”,
contact your Toyota dealer to service the
vehicle.
If the “4WD” warning light flashes...
This indicates that the driveline tempera-
ture has become too high. Without turning
off the engine, do either of the following
to cool the driveline:
!
Reduce vehicle speed until the light
goes off.
!
Stop the vehicle at a safe place and
allow the engine to idle until the light
goes off.
If operation of the vehicle is continued
while the light is flashing, the system au-
tomatically shuts off the engine torque that
is applied to the rear wheels to protect
the driveline. If this happens, the light will
flash faster.
When the driveline temperature falls
enough, the light will go off.
If the “4WD” warning light remains on...
This indicates that the system may not
work properly. Contact your Toyota dealer
to service your vehicle.
