switch meanings?

HI,

I am new here. I have been searching for a used FJ Cruiser in my area and have been trying to learn what features they have. So far two switches I have seen in pictures have me stumped.

I think I recall correctly that there are eight places for switches located under the stereo. On the upper left position I saw a switch that was labled "Auto LSD". At least that what I could make out in the photo.

Another had a picture of a car with what a dot in the center of the roof and arcs emeinating down from the dot. It has "OFF" printed below the diagram.

Doea anyone know what these switches operate?

Thanks!

dave

Re: switch meanings?

The Auto LSD is found on 2WD FJ's instead of the ATRAC button.
Quote:
2wd models have Auto LSD (pg 127) instead of ATRAC. Automatic Limited Slip Differential uses the traction control system (TRAC) to control engine performance AND braking when one of the rear wheels begins to spin (or slip). This gives added traction to the vehicle.
Auto LSD has it's own button, found in the upper left hand corner of the buttons (found in 2wd models only). Apparrently it must be engage with the push of the "auto LSD" button when you're on a slippery surface (snow, ice, or lots o' water).
This is the 2wd's version of ATRAC found on 4wd models.

The second button is to turn off the interior motion sensor for the VIP alarm on FJ's equipped with one of the two factory alarms. The other factory alarm setup has a "microphone" for a glass breakage sensor.

Hope this helps!
