'04 Tacoma U (L/O 0309) (b) A.D.D. (automatic disconnecting differential) "N" (neutral position): Lever at "N" No power is delivered to the wheels. The vehicle must be stopped. "L4" (low speed position, four- wheel drive): Lever at "L4" Use this for maximum power and traction. Use "L4" for climbing or descending steep hills, off- road driving, and hard pulling in sand, mud or deep snow. The four- wheel drive indicator light comes on when the "H4", "N" or "L4" mode is selected. See "(c) Shifting procedure (lever/button type)" for further instructions. 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 (lever type with manual transmission) SHIFTING BETWEEN "H2" AND "H4" To shift from "H2" to "H4", reduce your speed to less than 80 km/h (50 mph) and move the front drive control lever. You need not depress the clutch pedal. If you have trouble shifting in cold weather, reduce your speed or stop the vehicle and reshift. CAUTION Never move the front drive control lever if wheels are slipping. Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting. To shift from "H4" to "H2", simply move the front drive control lever. This can be done at any vehicle speed. You need not depress the clutch pedal. If the indicator light does not go off when you shift the transfer into "H2", drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse. 141 2004 TACOMA from Sep. '03 Prod.
