2. When moving the 2WD/4WD le-
ver, push up the detent knob with
a finger and then move the lever.
3. To operate the shift lever, depress
the brake pedal and stop the ve-
hicle completely. It is hard to shift
when the vehicle is moving or the
engine is running at a high idling
speed. Moreover, abnormal noise
may occur and parts related to
the shifting operation can be dam-
aged.
4. Move the 2WD/4WD lever back to
the "2WD" position as soon as the
4WD is not necessary. Prolonged
use of the 4WD in a normal con-
dition can increase the fuel con-
sumption and decrease the dura-
bility of parts related to the power
transfer system. It also affects the
steering performance negatively.

Never try to shift the gear
while the vehicle is moving or
the engine is running at a high
speed. The power transfer sys-
tem can be severely damaged
and an accident can
occur.
5. In some cases, it may be hard to
move the 2WD/4WD shift lever
out of the "4WD" position. This is
because parts related to the shift-
ing operation are firmly engaged.
These parts can be released eas-
ily by changing the driving direc-
tion (forward or backward).
WARNING
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK OPERATION
(1) Differential Lock Lever
(A) Unlock (B) Lock
UUVO521A
On hard firm ground, the differential
system should be unlocked to secure
safe turning.
When the wheel on one side is on a
slippery surface, such as mud or icy
road, the wheels on a slippery sur-
face lose traction and rotate fast
while the wheel on a normal surface
do not rotate, resulting in the vehi-
cle stuck into its position. In order
to prevent this situation, this vehicle
is equipped with the differential lock
system.
