ADVICE
When driving on a dry, paved road, do not engage the center differential
lock. Doing so 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 center differential lock switch while driving. Be sure to bring
the vehicle to a stop before operating the switch.
When the vehicle is towed, do not engage the center differential lock. Doing so
may damage the differential.
If the center differential lock is not used but the wheels are allowed to skid, the
differential may be damaged and become faulty.

NOTE
[Center Differential Lock]
This is a differential lock that connects the front axle directly to the rear axle.
When the center differential lock is engaged, the vehicle has a larger turning
radius than when the center differential lock is not engaged.
