）
only the
rear wheel are driven. Use when
driving under the same conditions
standard 2WD vehicle.
4H
—
（
4WD, high range
）
Four
wheels are driven. Use when
driving on roads where it is difficult
to drive in the 2H position. (i.e.,
driving at normal speeds on snow
covered, icy, wet, muddy or sandy
roads)
4H position supplies the max
power and traction force. Avoid
excessive speed, as it will cause
loss of traction. Speed over 80
km/h in 4H is not recommended.
4L
—
（
4WD, low range
）
Four
wheels are driven. Use when
climbing or descending steep hills,
or during hard driving in sand,
mud or deep snow. The “4L”
position provides maximum power
and traction. Avoid raising vehicle
speed
excessively,
as
the
maximum speed in 5
th
gear
approximately 50 km/h.
N
—
No wheels are driven. Always
keep the transfer lever out of the
“N” position. Shifting the lever
quickly
and
smoothly
when
moving across the “N” position
with the vehicle stopped.
CAUTION:
●
Do not drive on dry hard
surface roads in 4-wheel drive.
●
Driving
on
dry
hard
surfaces in “4H” or “4L” may
cause unnecessary noise and
tire wear. We recommended
driving in the “2H” position
under these conditions.
●
To lubricate the front wheel
drive system, drive the vehicle
in 4-wheel drive at least once a
month.

When parking the vehicle,
apply the parking brake and
shift the transfer control lever
in the
