Brand new GXL Automatic. Page 144 of manual. When I try to select LL from N on the 4 wheel drive lever it grates. Drive in N foot on brake as per instructions. Only way to select LL seems to be to switch off engine first. Anybody else found this?

If I remember correctly I place it in PARK to shift to L2005 VX Turbo Diesel + a heap of add-ons. -
Thanks a lot Embi. I tried that and it works. They need to amend the manual.Comment

You should be able to change to LL by shifting to N, but the car needs to be stopped and no foot on the acelerator.

Re: Shifting to LL
Hey everyone,
I am also experiencing something similar, but the other direction, when I go from LL back through N, I get a big gear clashing noise after going through N. Note this only happens when I am doing as the manual suggests, in neutral, foot on brake. If I move the transfer lever slowly, it clashes, but if I move it fast, no clashing.
If I put the car in park, I can then transfer in and out of LL and not experience any clashing, and I can move the transfer lever as slow as I want and no clashing.
Does anyone have an explanation for this ??
....further, I recently changed from an 05 to 06, and I couldn't change into LL in park in my 05, but can in my 06 !
Any thoughts ???

Re: Shifting to LL
To avoid I do it in two distinct step in a technique learnt with my old Disco - little stick move from H to neutral ( mid position ) rest there for half a second, the gently ease it in to L.
On the Disco I could move from H to L without coming to a complete stop, haven't been game to try that on the Prado yet.Cheers, WayneComment
