Understanding the Multi-Terrain Select System
 

The Multi-Terrain Select system on the 2021 Toyota Tundra is designed to optimize the vehicle's performance on various types of off-road surfaces. This feature allows you to choose from several terrain modes to enhance traction and stability, depending on the off-road conditions you're encountering.

 
Adjusting the Multi-Terrain Select System
 

Step 1: Start the Vehicle
 

Ensure the engine is running, as the Multi-Terrain Select system requires the vehicle to be powered on.

 
Step 2: Engage 4WD Low Mode
 

The Multi-Terrain Select system can only be used when the vehicle is in 4WD Low mode. To engage this, shift the vehicle into neutral and then turn the transfer case dial to the 4WD Low position.

 
Step 3: Access the Multi-Terrain Select Control
 

Locate the Multi-Terrain Select control knob, usually found on the center console. This knob will have several terrain mode options such as Mud, Sand, Rock, and Mogul, among others.

 
Step 4: Select the Desired Terrain Mode
 

Rotate the control knob to select the appropriate terrain mode for your driving conditions. Each mode is tailored to specific off-road environments:

• Mud and Sand: Ideal for loose, soft terrains.
• Rock: Optimizes traction on rocky surfaces.
• Mogul: Designed for uneven, bumpy terrains.

An icon representing your selected mode will appear on the Multi-Information Display (MID) to confirm your selection.

 
Step 5: Confirm Selection
 

Once you have chosen your desired terrain mode, the system will adjust the vehicle’s throttle response, traction control, and other driving dynamics accordingly. You can now begin driving on the selected terrain with enhanced capability.

 
Exiting Multi-Terrain Select
 

To return to regular driving mode, simply rotate the control knob back to the default position and switch the transfer case back to 4WD High or 2WD mode, as needed.

 
Additional Tips
 

• Always refer to the owner's manual for specific instructions and safety guidelines.
• Ensure all occupants are wearing seat belts and be aware of your surroundings when using off-road features.
• Practice using the Multi-Terrain Select system in a controlled environment to become familiar with its capabilities and limitations.

By following these steps, you can effectively adjust and utilize the Multi-Terrain Select system on your 2021 Toyota Tundra to tackle various off-road challenges with confidence and ease.
