2 Answers
The method to use the Highlander's four-wheel drive function is to press the all-wheel drive lock mode button to apply strong driving force to all wheels, and press it again to deactivate this mode. Below is a related introduction about the Highlander: 1. Interior: The new vehicle features extensive use of finely textured leather upholstery on the steering wheel, dashboard, door panels, seats, etc. It is the first to be equipped with a 12.3-inch color TFT multi-function information display and a 12.3-inch color touchscreen navigation display. 2. Safety Features: Includes HUD three-screen intelligent display, streaming media rearview mirror, BSM blind spot monitoring system, RCTA rear cross-traffic alert system, PVM panoramic monitoring system, and standard TPWS tire pressure monitoring system across all models. For passive safety, all models come standard with 7 SRS airbags.
As a Highlander owner, I mainly use the 4WD function for driving in severe weather conditions such as rain or snow. During normal driving, there's a button labeled '4WD' or 'Drive Mode Select' on the left side of the steering wheel or in the center console area. When encountering slippery roads, simply press it to switch to 4WD mode. The system automatically distributes power to all four wheels to prevent tire slippage, which is very convenient. Remember, it works best on muddy or icy roads, but avoid using 4WD for extended periods to prevent increased fuel consumption; I usually activate it only when needed and turn it off immediately after urban driving. Combined with daily driving, the Highlander's 4WD is quite intelligent, basically offering foolproof operation without complex settings.
