"4H" (High Range, 4-Wheel
Drive)
Use this for normal driving on
gravel, wet, icy or snow-covered
roads. This position provides
greater traction than two-wheel
drive. Top speed is limited to 65
mph (105 km/h).
"4L" (Low Range, 4-Wheel
Drive)
Use this for maximum power and
traction. Top speed is limited to
65 mph (105 km/h). Use " 4 L " for
climbing or descending steep
hills, off-road driving, and hard
pulling in sand, mud or deep
snow.
Operating the 4WD-2WD Switch
2H 4H:To shift between
ranges, push the switch
with the vehicle going
in a straight line at any
speed below 65 mph
(105 km/h). The 4WD
indicator will blink for
a short time as the
system completes the
shift.
Shifting the Transfer Control
Lever
4H 4L: Stop the vehicle.
Depress the clutch, then
move the transfer
control lever from 4H
to 4L, or 4L to 4H.
Move the transfer control lever
quickly and securely between
positions. Do not stop midway.
The transfer gear box can be
damaged if the control lever is not
firmly in gear. Some noise is
normal when shifting.
If the 4WD indicator continues to
blink rapidly, it indicates that the
system was shifted out of
sequence. Stop the vehicle, select
4WD with the 4WD-2WD switch,
shift the lever from 4L to 4H, then
select 2WD. Drive in a straight
line to reset the system. If the
indicator continues to blink, see
your Honda dealer.
