Locking/unlocking the center differential
● When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential
locked, VSC is automatically turned off. (The center differential lock and
VSC OFF indicator lights come on.)
● If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks.
If the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center differential,
drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
● Vehicles with the cruise control system: If the center differential lock/unlock
is not completed within 5 seconds while the cruise control system is on, can-
cel the cruise control system.
■ If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential
lock indicator light blinks
● If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when
using
the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move the
shift lever to N (automatic transmission) or depress and hold the clutch pedal
(manual transmission), and operate the switch again.
●
If the shift lever is moved (automatic transmission) or if the clutch pedal is
released (manual transmission) before the low speed four-wheel drive indi-
cator turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The
transfer mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the pow-
ertrain 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.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever to
N (automatic transmission) or depress the clutch pedal (manual transmis-
sion), and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off).
● If the engine coolant temperature is too low, the four-wheel drive control
system may not be able to shift. When the engine is warmer operate the
switch again.
If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light or the center differential lock
indicator light continues to blink even after attempting the above, there may
be a malfunction in the engine, the brake system or the four-wheel drive sys-
tem. In this case, you may not be able to shift between H4 and L4, and the
center differential lock may not be operable. Have the vehicle inspected by
your Toyota dealer immediately.
