NOTE
l The 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp
blinks while the selection is in process. Take
the following precautions when the indica-
tion lamp is blinking.
• Keep the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position while making range selec-
tions. If you attempt to drive forward
with the steering wheel turned, gear rat-
tling may occur and the desired range
may not actually be selected.
• If the front wheel and/or centre differen-
tial lock lamps continue blinking after a
“2H” ↔ “4H” ↔ “4HLc” selection has
been made with the vehicle moving, hold
the steering wheel in the straight ahead po-
sition and slowly depress the accelerator
pedal several times.
• If, after a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection
has been made, the front and rear wheel
lamps continue blinking and the desired
range is not actually selected, return the
transfer shift lever to its previous posi-
tion. Place the steering wheel in the
straight ahead position, drive the vehicle
forward, and release the accelerator ped-
al. Next, hold down the clutch pedal
(with M/T) or place the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (with A/T)
and make the range selection again.
l If the front and rear wheel lamps blink rapid-
ly (twice per second) when you attempt to
make a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection, the se-
lection cannot be made. Stop the vehicle and
release the accelerator pedal. Next, hold
down the clutch pedal (with M/T) or place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition (with A/T) and make the range selec-
tion again.
CAUTION
l
If a problem is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The
front and rear wheel lamps will go out,
the centre differential lock lamp will
blink, and transfer shifting will become
impossible. Park your vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the engine for a few mo-
ments. Restart the engine.
The lamps should resume normal opera-
tion. If the lamps continue to blink, we rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle checked
as soon as possible.
