WARNING
The handling characteristics of this vehicle
differs between “2WD” and “4WD” accord-

NOTICE
Shifting from “2WD” to “4WD” ( or “4WD” to
“2WD”) when the vehicle is in motion could
cause front drive train damage.
When one front wheel loses traction, the differen-
tial can slip reducing the pulling power of the other
front wheel. By turning the 2WD/4WD/DIFF-LOCK
shift switch to the “DIFF-LOCK” position (Locked
-Axle Mode), you can equalize driving force to both
front wheels. This is useful when the vehicle is stuck
or having difficulty overcoming an obstacle.
The
Locked-Axle Mode is effective only while “4WD”.
Move it back to the Unlocked-Axle Mode when you
no longer need the aforementioned equalizing.
