: If equipped
Press the switch to turn the system
on/off.
At this time, the front differential lock indi-
cator and indicator in the differential
lock/unlock display will blink. Wait a few
seconds for the system to complete opera-
tion. After the front differential is locked,
the indicators will stop blinking and remain
on.
To unlock the front differential, push the
switch again.
■ Operating tips
First turn the four-wheel drive control
switch to “L4” with the center differential
locked to see if you can move forward. If
this does not work, use the front differential
lock system also.
● Be sure to stop the wheels before locking
the differential.
■ To prevent damage to the center dif-
ferential
● For normal driving on dry and hard
surface roads, unlock the center differ-
ential.
● Unlock the center differential after the
wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface.
● Do not push the center differential
lock switch when the vehicle is turning
or when its wheels are spinning freely
off the ground.
Front differential lock sys-
tem
*
Use the front differential lock sys-
tem only when wheel spinning
occurs in a ditch or on a slippery or
ragged surface. This system is
effective in case one of the front
wheels is spinning.
