models, the differential gear lock indicator
light“DIFF.LOCK”and the differential gear
lock indicator“ ”on the multi-function
meter unit display will come on. The
differential gear lock, stop the vehicle and
set the switch to "4WD".
NOTE:
● If the differential gear lock is not
engaging properly, turn the steering
wheel back and forth to help it engage.
●Riding before the differential gear lock
is properly engaged will cause the
engine speed to be limited until
engagement is complete.
POTENTIAL HAZARD
Riding too fast while the vehicle is in
4WD-LOCK.
WHAT CAN HAPPEN
All wheels turn at the same speed when
the differential is locked, so it takes more
effort to turn the vehicle. The amount of
effort required is greater the faster you go.
You may lose control and have an accident
if you cannot make a sharp enough turn for
the speed you are traveling.
HOW TO AVOID THE HAZARD
Always ride at a slow speed when the
vehicle is in 4WD-LOCK, and allow extra
time and distance for maneuvers.
