4WD operation <FG models>
4 Free-wheeling hub
•
Even when the 4WD vehicle is running in the
two-wheel drive mode with the engine power
transmitted only to the rear wheels, the front
wheels are always connected to the power train
(differential, propeller shaft and transfer). The
free-wheeling hub is a device to release the
wheels from the power train to allow them to
rotate freely, thus saving energy and improving
power economy.
•
Set the free-wheeling hub as follows:
•
For propulsion of the vehicle in the 2WD mode,
set each free-wheeling hub to the “FREE” posi-
tion .
•
For propulsion of the vehicle in the 4WD mode,
set each free-wheeling hub to the “LOCK” posi-
tion .
When the 4WD mode is selected, ensure that the
free-wheeling hubs on both front wheels are set in
the “LOCK” positions. Should either or both of them
be in the “FREE” position, four-wheel driving is not
possible.
When you select the 4WD mode to drive on off-road
terrain (sandy or muddy ground) or snow-laden or
frozen roads, take sufficient care to avoid inappro-
priate operation.
1 Driving on snow-covered or frozen
roads
Select either the “4WD-LOW” or “4WD-HIGH”
mode-range combination according to the snow or
road surface condition. Start out slowly.
Tire chains cannot be used on both front and rear
wheels. You are advised to use snow or studless
tires.
WARNING
•
Never drive with one free-wheeling hub in
the “FREE” position and the other in the
“LOCK” position. Doing so is very danger-
ous.
•
The free-wheeling hub may be extremely
hot after driving. Do not touch it.
