How do you engage 4 wheel drive on a Lexus GX470?

Engaging 4-Wheel Drive on a Lexus GX470
To engage 4-wheel drive on a Lexus GX470, follow these steps:
1. Locate the Control Lever: The four-wheel drive system on the Lexus GX470 has a control lever that allows the car to switch back and forth from four-wheel drive. This lever is typically found to the right of the gear shift lever.
2. Select Driving Mode:
– For normal driving, move the four-wheel drive control lever into the “H” position. This delivers power to all four wheels at a high-speed setting, suitable for city and highway driving.
– For off-road driving, move the four-wheel drive control lever into the “L” position. This places the drivetrain into a low-speed setting, providing maximum four-wheel drive traction for climbing, descending hills, and driving on loose surfaces such as dirt or mud.
3. Additional Considerations:
– It’s important to place the Lexus GX470 into the park position or put the gear of the vehicle into neutral before engaging the four-wheel drive system.
– The low-speed 4WD indicator light will turn on when the vehicle is in low four-wheel drive mode.
Remember to consult the vehicle’s manual for specific instructions and safety considerations when engaging the 4-wheel drive system.
