PARK BRAKE WARNING LIGHT
The park brake warning light (10) is located on the instrument panel just to the left of the steering column
(Figure
5)
. The warning light indicates that the park brake has been engaged. The vehicle should never be driven with the
park brake engaged. If the warning light remains on after the park brake has been fully disengaged, have a trained
technician check the vehicle.
FRONT AXLE CONTROL
The front drive unit engagement lever (3) is located on the right side of the instrument panel
(Figure 5)
. The handle has
two positions marked 4X4 and 4X2. Push the handle up to engage the front wheel drive unit or push the handle down
to disengage the unit. The engagement lever was designed to be shifted while the vehicle is in motion so momentum is
not lost while operating on slippery terrain. The lever should also be disengaged while the vehicle is in motion.
WARNING
• Do not operate the vehicle on improved surfaces (concrete, asphalt, etc.) in “4X4” mode. Doing so
increases steering effort, tire wear, and shifting effort.
DIFFERENTIAL LOCK CONTROL
The rear differential lock control handle (4) is located on the right side of the instrument panel
(Figure 5)
. The handle
has two positions marked DIFF with a locked padlock icon and DIFF with an unlocked padlock icon. Push the handle
up to engage the differential lock or pull the handle down to disengage the differential lock.
