PRINCIPLE OF OPERATION
The four-wheel drive system in your vehicle
is a part-time system activated using the
rotary switch mounted in the centre
console. In normal rear-wheel drive
operation (2H) drive torque is directed to
the rear axle. When the switch is moved to
4H or 4L, drive torque is directed to both
the front and rear axles, providing
four-wheel drive operation.
Depending on your vehicle, further
four-wheel drive options may be available
on the switch panel located on the centre
console.
USING FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE
Note: A clicking sound from the drive line
may be heard while shifting between ranges,
which is normal.
