(1) Transfer lever
Your vehicle is equipped with the “ALL
GRIP PRO” system that consists of a
transfer case with a synchronizer (between
2WD-high and 4WD-high positions) and
the air locking hubs. With this feature, you
can shift the drive mode between 2-wheel
drive high range and 4-wheel drive high
range by shifting the “2H” or “4H” position.
Stop the vehicle or reduce the speed to
less than 100 km/h (60 mph) with the front
wheels in the straight ahead position. Do
not shift the transfer lever without depress-
ing the accelerator pedal. Do not activate
the cruise control system when shifting the
transfer lever.

(1) Air locking hubs
(2) Transfer case
NOTE:
• The air locking hubs are activated by the
vacuum of the engine and changed to
shift the front wheel drive. The air locking
hubs are not shifted when the engine is
stopping. Several seconds are required
from the operation of the transfer lever to
the activation of air locking hubs.
• When the front tyres receive a big shock
during running in 2-wheel drive position
on the road surface of the big irregularity,
etc, some noise may occur inside the air
locking hubs afterwards. In this situation,
stop the vehicle and then shift the trans-
fer lever into “4H” position. After that,
shift the transfer lever into “2H” position
again.
