02_SEQUOIA_U (L/O 0108) (b) A.D.D. (automatic disconnecting differential) Advice for driving on slippery roads in "L4" (low speed position) mode If you shift the front drive control lever to "L4" and the automatic transmission lever to "D" or "2" when you drive in steep off −road areas, the output of the brake can be controlled effectively by the active traction control system, which assists the driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels. Use the "L" position of the automatic transmission lever for maximum power and traction when your wheels get stuck or when you drive down a steep incline. To control the output of the brake effectively, observe the following directions; The A.D.D. can be engaged or disengaged by the shifting operations described in "(c) Shifting procedure". You should drive in four −wheel drive for at least 16 km (10 miles) each month. This will assure that the front drive components are lubricated. (c) Shifting procedure SHIFTING BETWEEN "H" (2WD) MODE AND "H" (4WD) MODE To shift from "H" (2WD) mode to "H" (4WD) mode, reduce your speed to less than 100 km/h (62 mph) and push in the "4WD" switch. If the indicator light flashes when you push in the "4WD" switch, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating. If the indicator light flashes and the buzzer sounds when you push in the "4WD" switch, reduce your speed or stop the vehicle. CAUTION Never push the "4WD" switch if wheels are slipping. Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting. To shift from "H" (4WD) mode to "H" (2WD) mode, push the "4WD" switch again to turn it off. This can be done at any vehicle speed. If the indicator light flashes when you push in the "4WD" switch, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse. D In the case of uphill driving with the front drive control lever positioned in "L4" and the transmission shift lever positioned in "L", make sure the center differential lock indicator comes on with your vehicle placed at the level. D When the center differential lock indicator flashes drive control transmission ahead while ing, or drive after operating the front lever, "4WD" switch or the shift lever, drive straight accelerating or deceleratin reverse. 2002 MY SEQUOIA_U (OM34418U) 139
