GENERAL INFORMATION 55 This vehicle is equipped with a dual-mode differential for the front wheel. The differential shift lever is located next to the gear shift lever, to the right of the driver's seat. When one front wheel loses traction, the differential can slip reducing the pulling power of the other front wheel. By shifting the differential shift lever to the Locked-Axle Mode, you can equalize driving force to both front wheel. This is useful when the vehicle is stuck or having difficulty overcoming an obstacle. The Lock-Axle Mode is effective only when "4WD" is engaged. When you want to increase traction, move the shift lever all the way rearward. Move it back to the Differential Mode (Unlocked- Axle ) when you no longer need the aforementioned equalizing. j Selectable 2WD/4WD Shift Switch You can select "2WD" or "4WD" to suit various driving conditions. The shift switch is located on the dashboard. To shift, first stop the vehicle completely then press the electrically selectable 2WD/4WD shift switch up or down. 4WD indicator light goes on when "4WD" is selected. When in "2WD", this light is off. Refer to the "2WD/4WD Shifting" section in the "HOW TO OPERATE" chapter. WARNING The handling characteristics of this vehicle differs between "2WD" and "4WD" according to driving condition. Changing operating mode while moving can cause sudden changes in handling performance which can cause the operator to lose control and have an accident. Always stop the vehicle before changing from "2WD" to "4WD" and vice versa. WARNING Shifting to Locked-Axle Mode while turning or before entering a turn can reduce steering response, increasing the effort to turn. An unexpected change in direction can cause the operator to lose control, resulting in an accident and injury. Do not shift to Locked-Axle Mode while turning or before entering a turn. NOTICE Shifting from "2WD" to "4WD" ( or "4WD" to "2WD") when the vehicle is in motion could cause front drive train damage.

GENERAL INFORMATION
55
j
This vehicle is equipped with a dual-mode differ-
ential for the front wheel. The differential shift lever
is located next to the gear shift lever, to the right of
the driver’s seat.
When one front wheel loses traction, the differen-
tial can slip reducing the pulling power of the other
front wheel.
By shifting the differential shift lever
to the Locked-Axle Mode, you can equalize driving
force to both front wheel.
This is useful when the
vehicle is stuck or having difficulty overcoming an
obstacle.
The Lock-Axle Mode is effective only when “4WD”
is engaged.
When you want to increase traction, move the shift
lever all the way rearward. Move it back to the Dif-
ferential Mode (Unlocked- Axle ) when you no longer
need the aforementioned equalizing.
WARNING
Shifting to Locked-Axle Mode while turning
or before entering a turn can reduce steering
response, increasing the effort to turn.
An
unexpected change in direction can cause
the operator to lose control, resulting in an
accident and injury.
Do not shift to Locked-Axle Mode while turn-
ing or before entering a turn.
Selectable 2WD/4WD Shift Switch
You can select “2WD” or “4WD” to suit various driv-
ing conditions.
The shift switch is located on the
dashboard. To shift, first stop the vehicle completely
then press the electrically selectable 2WD/4WD shift
switch up or down.
4WD indicator light goes on when “4WD” is se-
lected. When in “2WD”, this light is off.
Refer to the “2WD/4WD Shifting” section in the
“HOW TO OPERATE” chapter.
WARNING
The handling characteristics of this vehicle
differs between “2WD” and “4WD” accord-
ing to driving condition.
Changing operat-
ing mode while moving can cause sudden
changes in handling performance which can
cause the operator to lose control and have
an accident.
Always stop the vehicle before changing
from “2WD” to ”4WD” and vice versa.
NOTICE
Shifting from “2WD” to “4WD” ( or “4WD” to
“2WD”) when the vehicle is in motion could
cause front drive train damage.
