The anti-lock brake system does not op-
erate when the rear differential is locked.
It is normal operation for the “ABS” warn-
ing light to be on at this time.
Do not lock the differential until
the wheels have stopped spin-
ning. Otherwise, the vehicle may
move in an unexpected direction
when the differential lock is en-
gaged, resulting in an accident.
This may also lead to possible
damage to differential lock com-
ponent parts.
Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph)
when the differential is locked.
CAUTION
!
To unlock the differential, push the
switch once again.
Unlock the differential as soon as the ve-
hicle moves out.
For easy unlocking, slightly turn the steer-
ing wheel in either direction while the ve-
hicle is in motion.
When the differential lock is disengaged,
the indicator light will go out.
The differential will also unlock if you shift
the front drive control lever out of “L4”.
Never forget to turn off the switch after us-
ing this feature.
To check the indicator bulb, turn the igni-
tion key to the “ON” position, but do not
start the engine.
Do not keep driving with the
differential lock switch on.
CAUTION
!
When parking, firmly apply the park-
ing brake to avoid inadvertent creep-
ing.
To set: Pull up the lever. For better holding
power, first depress the brake pedal and
hold it while setting the parking brake.
To release: Pull up the lever slightly, press
the thumb button, and lower.
To remind you that the parking brake is
set, the parking brake reminder light in the
instrument panel remains on until you re-
lease the parking brake.
