↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔
‘4L’
To shift from ‘2H’ or ‘4H’ to ‘4L’, the ve-
hicle should be stopped.
Depressing the clutch pedal (with
manual transmission) or moving the
selector lever to ‘N’ position (with au-
tomatic transmission), select the 4WD
switch to ‘4L’ by rotating the 4WD low
(‘4L’) indicator light may come on.
WARNING
In case of part-time 4WD, do not use
4WD for normal driving on dry pave-
ment. It will cause unnecessary noise,
wear and fuel economy.

T.O.D (TORQUE ON DEMAND)*

tem.
T.O.D privides the suitable power to front &

fer Case Control Unit, e.g. propeller shaft
speed, operating range of 4H & 4L and op-
erating of ABS.
T.O.D will help your vehicle to remain
steerable, stable around the corner
especially.
