Tight Corner Braking Phenomenon
When the 4WD mode is selected with a
part-time 4WD vehicle or when the center
differential lock is engaged with a full-
time 4WD vehicle, you will experience a
condition similar to that when brakes are
applied when you make a turn on a dry,
paved road while fully turning the steering
wheel.
This phenomenon is unique to a 4WD
vehicle and is caused by a rotational
speed difference between the front and
rear wheels at a curve. So this is not an
abnormal condition. If this phenomenon
occurs, either return the steering wheel to
the straight-ahead position, or change to
the 2WD mode in a part-time 4WD vehicle
or disengage the center differential lock in
a full-time 4WD vehicle. The phenomenon
will then disappear.
