Normally the indicator illuminates when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position or the operation mode is put in
ON, and then the drive mode is displayed a few seconds after
the engine is started.

!
● Do not operate the drive mode-selector with the
front wheels spinning on a snowy road or in similar
conditions. The vehicle could lunge in an unexpected
direction.
● Driving on dry, paved roads in “4WD LOCK” mode
causes increased fuel consumption, noise, and pre-
mature tire wear.
● Do not drive with the tires spinning in “2WD” mode.
Doing so could generate heat in the drive-system
components.
