Use the 4WD switch when one or more
drive axle wheels are in mud or sand, or on
frozen or otherwise slippery slope surfaces.
Make sure that the vehicle is stopped and
press the switch. Then, the engine torque is
transmitted also to the front wheels placing
the vehicle in the 4WD mode. The 4WD
indicator light then comes on.
When using the switch, confirm in advance
that the knobs on the freewheel hubs are
in the "LOCK" position, and set the switch
only when the vehicle is stopped or moving
at low speed.

CAUTION
When raising the vehicle with jacks,
do not select the 4WD mode. When
you rotate a wheel, the other wheels
also rotate; this is very dangerous.
Whenever driving in 4WD mode,
confirm that the knobs on the
freewheel hubs are set to the
"LOCK" position.
Do not press the 4WD switch
when driving with the knobs on
the freewheel hubs in the "FREE"
position. Doing so could cause the
transfer case to fail.

ADVICE
When driving on a dry, paved road, place the 4WD switch into the "OFF"
position. Driving the vehicle in the 4WD mode causes premature wear of front
wheel tires, a decrease in fuel economy, generation of abnormal noise and
decreased life of the front drivetrain system.
Do not operate the 4WD switch while driving. Be sure to bring the vehicle to a
stop before operating the switch.
When the vehicle is towed, do not select the 4WD mode. Doing so may damage
the differential.
