The snow button

I have a 2008 Highlander and there is a snow button on the console next to the downhill button. I didn't see anything in the manual about the snow button. How and when do I use it?

Answer This Question
  • Enzo Bagnoli Dec 02, 2008

    So it sounds like I only turn it on if I am stuck or in danger of getting stuck. If there is snow on the ground but I am not having any problems getting through it, then I don't use it. Thank You

When its snowing and its a traction safety feature that when engaged will slow down the speed of the wheel that slips to the speed of the other wheels making it easier to regain traction. this is not always useful so they added an option to turn it on and off

My 2008 corvette is giving a harsh downshift as I am coming downhill and the manual shift is not in gear?
I am assuming you have an automatic transmission. If you put in neutral and you feel a down shift, then adjust the shift cable. Your probably going to have to do this at/under the console. If you have a manual transmission, then it is internal. Shift forks could be bent, plastic guides are worn out or gone.

2008 Highlander Maint Req'd reset proceedure
This is the reset proceedure for a 2008 Highlander with a key-type ignition:

Turn the key ON, do not start the engine.

Look at the odometer, and verify that it displays "TRIP A". If it is on "ODO" or "Trip B", press the black stick next to the odometer to read "TRIP A".

Turn the key OFF.

Press in, and HOLD the black trip meter reset button, hold it IN.
DO not release it.

Turn the key ON, do not start the engine

Observe the Odometer display. You will see 5 dashes, then 4, then 3, then 2, then 1 dash, and finally, 5 zeros. Then, whatever number that was displayed on "TRIP A" will be re-displayed..

Now release the black trip meter reset stick.

This completes the reset procedure, and it will be back on in 5,000 miles, to remind you of you next oil change.

Recently the instrument panel on my 05 Highlander (4 cyc) has been displaying a messsage: "O/D OFF". If I stop and restart the engine, the message disappears. What does this indicator mean? My owner's...
overdrive is an over dirve gear for your truck. there should be a button on the shifter to engage or disangage the overdrive. For the most part the overdrive should be "on". It gives you the best fuel mileage and lets the engine turn at a slower speed on the freeway. You can use the overdrive "off" position to slow the truck on a long downhill.

What do the settings S-D and plus minus on trasmission shifter m
The plus and the minus allows you to "manually" shift the automatic transmission; sort of like a manual transmission, without a clutch......minus = downshift, + = upshift.
Just put it in "D" and drive on.

Snow button on my 2008 Highlander
The "snow" button sets the transmission to start off in second gear, and makes the accelerator less sensitive thus reducing the tendency to slip and slide. It also has the effect of reducing the power and responsiveness of the car. Try driving with the snow button "off" in "normal" snowy conditions and see how you go. Use "snow" for exceptionally icy conditions.
