Toyota 4WD shift lever

Unfortunately the 4WD shift lever in 2 of the Toyotas is pointing towards the codrivers legs when in 4Lo. In this position it is possible that the lever is moved unintentionally forward.

Schould the lever get in the forward position, the vehicle is no longer in 4WD. Not really a big problem - but you might get stuck with spinning rear tires and don't really know why, since you did just fine a minute before.

If you find the lever in the forward position just pull it back toards the codriver's seat.
The vehicle needs to be stopped for this.

This is the correct position of the lever:


Here is how it looks like when the lever is in the forward position.
