set the switch to “LOCK”. When the
differential gear is locked, the differential
gear lock indicator light (“DIFF. LOCK”) will
come on along with the differential gear lock
indicator “ ” in the multifunction meter unit
display. To release the differential gear lock,
stop the vehicle and set the switch to “4WD”.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Riding too fast while the vehicle is in
4WD-LOCK.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
All wheels turn at the same speed when
the differential is locked, so it takes
more effort to turn the vehicle. The
amount of effort required is greater the
faster you go. You may lose control and
have an accident if you cannot make a
sharp enough turn for the speed you
are traveling.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always ride at a slow speed when the
vehicle is in 4WD-LOCK, and allow
extra time and distance for maneuvers.
NOTE:
When the switch is set to “LOCK”, the
differential gear lock indicator and
indicator light will flash until the
differential gear is locked.
When the indicator and indicator light are
flashing, turning the steering wheel back
and forth will help the differential gear
lock to engage.
Riding before the differential gear lock is
properly engaged (e.g. when the
indicator and indicator light are flashing)
will cause the engine speed to be limited
until engagement is complete.
