By pressing the drive mode-selector, the drive
mode can be changed in order of “2WD”,
“4WD AUTO” and “4WD LOCK”.
The drive mode is displayed as an interrupt
display on the information screen in the
multi-information display when the drive
mode is changed.
After a few seconds, the information screen
will then return to its prior display.
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 con-
sumption, noise, and premature tire wear.
Do not drive with the tires spinning in
“2WD” mode.
Doing so could generate heat in the drive-
system components.
