How to Activate the Four-Wheel Drive of the Toyota Land Cruiser?

Model: Toyota Land Cruiser MK 8, J90 - Years 1996-2002
Part: Checks and maintenance

To activate the four-wheel drive of the Toyota Land Cruiser, use the lever located in the cabin below the steering column, behind the gear selector lever. Here, you will notice that the lever is in the H2 position, at the top left; to engage the four-wheel drive, move the lever to the H4 position by pulling it down to the left. Once this additional lever is in the H4 position, the four-wheel drive will be activated, and you can switch back to two-wheel drive by repositioning the lever to H2.
