4WD operation <FG models>
•
In the 4WD mode, you may feel the steering
wheel move differently from the way it does in
the 2WD mode.
Operate the steering wheel carefully until you
get the complete feel of 4WD operation.
•
When turning a sharp corner at a low speed in
the 4WD mode, a condition resembling one that
would occur during braking can develop. This
condition called “sharp corner braking” is
caused by the fact that the four tires are moving
along circles of different radiuses and is a phe-
nomenon limited to 4WD vehicles. It does not
imply any abnormal condition exists. If you
experience this condition, either straighten
steering wheel or switch to the 2WD mode.
1 If you have driven in water by necessity
•
Immediately check engine, transmission, trans-
fer and differential oil. If the oil looks milky, it is
contaminated with water. Be sure to replace it.
P. 7-14
•
If water has entered the cab, dry the carpet, etc.
Leaving them wet can cause rusting.
2 After off-road driving, be sure to check
the following points:
•
Check for damage caused by stones, etc.
•
Check the brakes. If the brakes function poorly,
have them checked by an authorized dealer.
•
Grease the propeller shaft and also the front and
rear suspension springs. P. 12-19
