Use the front drive control lever and
"4WD" button to select the transfer and
center differential modes.
"H2" mode (high speed position, two−
wheel drive):
Lever at "H2·H4", "4WD"
button left out
Use this for normal driving on dry hard−
surfaced roads. This position gives greater
economy, quietest ride and least wear and
better vehicle control.
"H4" mode (high speed position, four−
wheel drive, center differential un-
locked):
Lever at "H2·H4", "4WD" button
pushed in
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard−surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow−covered roads. This
position provides greater traction than
two−wheel drive.
"H4L" mode (high speed position, four−
wheel drive, center differential locked):
Lever at "H4L"
Use this for greater traction when you
experience a loss of power, such as
wheel slipping, in the "H2·H4" (four− wheel
drive) mode.
"N" mode (neutral position): Lever at
"N"
No power is delivered to the wheels. The
vehicle must be stopped.
"L4L" mode (low speed position, four−
wheel drive, center differential locked):
Lever at "L4L"
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use "L4L" mode for hard pulling in situa-
tions the vehicle cannot negotiate even in
the "H4L" mode.
The indicator shows which transfer and
center differential mode the vehicle is in.
See "(c) Shifting procedure" for further in-
structions.
