WARNING
■ While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost trac-
tion. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved (automatic transmission) or if the clutch pedal is
released (manual transmission) before the low speed four-wheel drive indi-
cator turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The
transfer mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the pow-
ertrain and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At
this time, the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
“P”. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode.
NOTICE
■ To prevent damage to the center differential
●
For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differ-
ential.
● Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface.
●
Do not push the center differential lock/unlock switch when the vehicle is
turning or when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.
