to “4H”, check that the 4WD indicator
light comes on.
• After shifting the transfer lever from “4H”

a little to shift the transfer lever. Pay
attention to the vehicles and the circum-
ference toward or backward your vehicle

• When you shift the transfer lever while
turning the steering wheel or depressing
the accelerator pedal, shifting the trans-
fer lever may be difficult.
• Operate the transfer lever while driving
at low speed if it may be difficult to shift

2H” position to “4H” position or from “4H”
