4WD operation <FG models>

Select the 2WD (rear-wheel-drive) mode or 4WD

(all-wheel-drive) mode as necessary for the condi-

tion of the road surface. The 4WD mode can be

used for extra traction on rough road surfaces and

on snow-covered road surfaces (in mountainous

regions, for example).

CAUTION

With a 4WD vehicle, power is applied to both the

front wheels and rear wheels; if incorrect tires

are fitted, they can prevent the vehicle from per-

forming to its full potential and can even cause

an accident. Incorrect tires can also adversely

affect powertrain components. Please observe

the following tire-related cautions:

•

Make sure all of the tires are the specified

size and are identical in terms of manufac-

turer, brand, and tread pattern. Be particu-

larly careful when fitting snow tires or other

winter-use tires.

•

Use tires that do not differ from each other in

terms of the extent of wear.

•

Regularly check the tire inflation pressures

and keep them adjusted to the specified val-

ues.

•

When tire replacement is necessary, replace

all of the tires at the same time.

•

Use genuine wheels. Do not change the

wheel size.

•

To ensure that the tires wear evenly, rotate

the tires every 10,000 km (6,000 miles).

For towing of the vehicle, raise the front wheels

off the ground and disconnect the propeller

shaft at the end closer to the rear wheels.

The 4WD mode is not recommended for driving

on dry paved roads as the tires may wear down

prematurely, the running noise may increase,

and more fuel may be consumed. Malfunction of

the drive train components may also result. Be

sure to drive in the 2WD mode on dry paved

roads.
