06 06.07 (b) Shifting procedure Use this for maximum power and traction. Use this for hard pulling in situations the vehicle cannot negotiate even in the "L4" (low speed position, center differential unlocked) mode. Also, using this mode when driving down steep off−road inclines will help contribute to increased vehicle stability. The indicator light tells when the differential lock is engaged. Note that the differential is not still locked as long as the indicator light remains off. When the operation is not completed, the indicator blinks. If the indicator light does not go off when you push out the center differential lock switch, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse. If the center differential lock system operation is not completed within 5 seconds while the cruise control system is set, cancel the cruise control system. To cancel the cruise control system, see "Cruise control" on page 196 in Section 1−7. If the indicator blinks even if doing so, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. There may be a trouble in the center differential lock system. See "(b) Shifting procedure" for further instructions. SHIFTING BETWEEN "H4" (UNLOCKED) AND "H4" (LOCKED) To shift between unlock and lock modes in "H4", push the center differential lock switch. SHIFTING BETWEEN "L4" (UNLOCKED) AND "L4" (LOCKED) To shift between unlock and lock modes in "L4", push the center differential lock switch. SHIFTING BETWEEN "H4" AND "L4" To shift from "H4" to "L4", bring the vehicle to a complete stop with the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the automatic transmission selector lever into "N" and push and turn the four−wheel drive control switch knob fully clockwise. To shift from "L4" to "H4", bring the vehicle to a complete stop with the brake pedal held down with your foot, shift the automatic transmission selector lever into "N" and turn the four−wheel drive control switch knob fully counterclockwise. If the "4LO" (low speed four−wheel drive) indicator light continues to blink when you operate the four−wheel drive control switch knob to the "H4" or "L4" position, drive forward or backward in a short distance, then stop the vehicle completely, shift the automatic transmission selector lever securely into "N" and operate the switch knob again. If the indicator continues to blink even if doing so, contact your Toyota dealer as soon as possible. There may be a trouble in the four−wheel drive system. CAUTION Never operate the four−wheel drive control switch knob if the wheels are slipping. Stop the slipping or spinning before operating. 166 2007 4Runner from Aug. '06 Prod. (OM35866U)
