higher than that of the 4H position at a given road speed. Do not

exceed 40kmph.

Exceeding 25 mph (40 km/h) while the transfer case is

engaged in 4L may result in an engine overspeed condition and

engine damage

Because the four-wheel drive provides improved traction, there

is a tendency to exceed safe turning and stopping speeds.

• Do not believe than you can go faster than road conditions

permit

• Do not shift to a lower gear than necessary to maintain

forward motion

• Over-revving the engine can spin the wheels and traction will

be lost. You will not be able to stop or control your vehicle

• Braking performance is dramatically reduced in wet/icy/

slippery conditions. Avoid abrupt downshifts on slippery

roads, engine braking may cause skidding and loss of control

resulting in an accident

Shifting between 2H and 4H can be made with the vehicle stopped

or in motion (speed less than 4-5Kmph). If the vehicle is in motion,

release the accelerator pedal and maintain very low speed until

transfer case is completely engaged.

Never operate the 4WD shifter lever if the wheels are slipping. Stop

the slipping or spinning before operating the shifter

If transfer case is not properly engaged, whine noise may come

from driveline. This is because mating teeth not being properly

aligned/engaged. In that case, stop the vehicle and start driving

again.

To shift from 4H to 2H, move the selector lever to the 2H position.

Vehicle may needs to be stopped for completely for proper

disengaging from 4WH/4WL.
