How to Use the Four-Wheel Drive System of the Prado?

[SanJohn]

The Prado is equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system. In older models, the high-speed four-wheel drive and low-speed four-wheel drive are controlled by the small lever on the right side, usually set to the H (High) position. When driving on muddy roads or mountainous terrain, shift the transmission into neutral, then press the brake and move the small lever on the right side to the L (Low) position. If a tire slips, you can activate the differential lock button. Below is some relevant information about the Prado: 1. The Prado's four-wheel drive system features the MTS (Multi-Terrain Select) all-terrain assist system, which includes five road condition modes: mud/sand, gravel, uneven surfaces, mountain, and rock. The computer optimizes the four-wheel drive system based on the selected mode. 2. The Prado's four-wheel drive system also includes KDSS (Kinetic Dynamic Suspension System). On smooth roads, the computer limits suspension extension, allowing the stabilizer bar to function and ensuring good body stability. In harsh conditions, the computer releases suspension extension, deactivating the stabilizer bar to maximize wheel travel and improve traction.
