WARNING
POTENTIAL HAZARD

vice-versa while moving may cause the
vehicle to unexpectedly handle differ-
ently. This could distract the operator
and increase the risk of losing control
and an accident.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always stop the vehicle before chang-
ing from 2WD to 4WD or from 4WD to
4WD-LOCK, or vice-versa.
