Ayellowfunctionindicatorontheinstrumentpanel
lightsuptoindicatethatthedifflockisengaged.

the wheels are likely to slip. Do not engage the lock
while one of the wheels is actually slipping.

Four-wheel drive
4WDincreasestractiononbrokenground,muddyand
slipperysurfaces,etc.

gaged,anindicatorlightontheinstrumentpanelcomes

NOTE: Only use four-wheel drive when strictly neces-
sary. Avoid use of 4WD when maximum traction is not
required, e.g. on hard ground, roads, etc., since this
would only increase tyre wear unnecessarily.
