LX570_U (OM60F86U)
■ While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost traction.
Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator turns on/
off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer mode disengages
both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and allows the vehicle to
move regardless of the shift position. (At this time, the indicator blinks and the
buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in “P”. You
or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the shifting of the
transfer mode. (P. 25 6)
■ To prevent damage to the center differential
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differential.
● Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the slip-
pery or bumpy surface.
● Do not push the center differential lock/unlock button when the vehicle is turning
or when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.
