2. Press the front drive switch either at the “ON”
side (4WD) or “OFF” side (2WD) when the vehi-
cle is either in motion or stationary.
NOTE:
• You do not need to depress the clutch pedal
when switching from the 2WD-HIGH setting to
the 4WD-HIGH setting or vice versa.
• The mode-range setting cannot be switched
from 4WD-LOW to 2WD-HIGH. The 4WD-HIGH
setting must be selected before such switching
can take place.
• If it is difficult to switch from 2WD mode to 4WD
mode and vice versa, release the accelerator
pedal and then depress it again lightly. This will
facilitate the switching.
• During switching from 4WD mode to 2WD
mode, the system may remain in 4WD mode
even after the indicator lamp has gone out.
If this happens, release the accelerator pedal
and depress it again lightly. The switching will
then take place.
