1.1 Front drive switch
• The front drive switch is used to select either the
two-wheel drive (2WD) mode that uses only the
two rear wheels as driving wheels or the four-
wheel drive (4WD) mode in which the engine
power is transmitted to all four wheels. Pressing
the “ON” side of this switch selects the 4WD
mode, whereas pressing the “OFF” side selects
the 2WD mode. The indicator lamp lights up
when the 4WD mode is selected.
• The mode selection can be performed without
depressing the clutch pedal.
CAUTION
Make sure that the free-wheeling hubs on both
the front wheels are in the “LOCK” position
when the 4WD mode is selected; in the “FREE”
position, the engine power is not transmitted to
the front wheels. P. 8 - 6
1.2 HIGH-LOW selector lever
• When the 4WD mode is selected, this lever
allows the driver to select either the high-speed
range or the low-speed range of the transfer
gear.
With the vehicle stationary and the clutch pedal
depressed, hold down the lever button and
move the lever to the high-speed range position
to select the high-speed range or to the low-
speed range position to select the low-speed
range. The indicator lamp comes on when
the low-speed range is selected.
• To change the range from one to the other, hold
down the clutch pedal with the vehicle stationary
and move the lever fully to the LOW range posi-
tion until the indicator lamp comes on or to
the HIGH range position until the lamp goes off.
After operating the lever, check that the lever is
locked in position by trying to move it back and
forth without pressing the button.
NOTE:
Do not operate the HIGH-LOW selector lever during
driving.
Operation of the lever has no effect while the vehi-
cle is in motion. Always switch the transfer gear
range when the vehicle is stationary and after
depressing the clutch pedal.
