PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The four-wheel drive system in your vehicle
is a part-time system activated using the
rotary switch mounted in the centre
console. In normal rear-wheel drive
operation (
2H
) drive torque is directed to
the rear axle. When the switch is moved to
4H
or
4L
, drive torque is directed to both
the front and rear axles, providing
four-wheel drive operation.
Depending on your vehicle, further
four-wheel drive options may be available
on the switch panel located on the centre
console.
USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Note:
A clicking sound from the drive line
may be heard while shifting between ranges,
which is normal.
