To activate four-wheel drive in the Toyota Highlander, simply press the 4WD button on the gear shift. This allows all the tires to receive power simultaneously, providing greater control and strength on challenging or icy surfaces. However, keep in mind that using this feature will result in faster fuel consumption. To deactivate the system, press the button again. It is recommended to only engage four-wheel drive when necessary, as it can strain the vehicle and lead to increased fuel costs.

    The Toyota Highlander has all-wheel drive (AWD) capabilities, allowing it to automatically distribute drive torque between the front and rear wheels without any input needed from the driver during regular driving. This system ensures optimal traction and fuel efficiency. If more torque is required for the rear wheels in situations like being stuck on ice or snow, there is a lock mode available that can be activated. This mode disengages once the vehicle exceeds a speed of 25 miles per hour (mph).
