Use the front drive control switches
and center differential lock switch to
select the transfer and center differen-
tial modes.
In the “4HI” and “4LO” mode, you can
choose to lock or unlock the center differ-
ential.
Use the center differential lock system if
your wheels get stuck in a ditch, or when
you are driving on a slippery or bumpy
surface. When the center differential is
locked, the vehicle stability control system
is automatically turned off and the center
differential lock and “VSC OFF” indicator
lights come on because the function that
controls engine performance interferes
with the process of freeing your wheels.
NOTICE
As soon as the center differential lock
switch is turned on, the “VSC OFF”
indicator light comes on. After the
wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface, turn the
center differential lock switch off.
Make sure that the center differential
lock indicator light and “VSC OFF”
indicator light turn off.
“2WD” mode (high speed, two−wheel
drive)
This mode is the normal driving mode. In
this mode, the “4HI” and “4LO” indicator
lights are turned off.
Use this for normal driving on dry hard−
surfaced roads. This position gives greater
economy, quietest ride, least wear and
better vehicle control.
“4HI” mode (high speed, four−wheel
drive, center differential unlocked)
To select this mode, press the “2WD/4HI”
switch only. The “4HI” indicator light
comes on.
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard−surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow−covered roads. This
position provides greater traction than
two−wheel drive.
“4HI” mode (high speed, four−wheel
drive, center differential locked)
To select this mode, press the “2DW/4HI”
switch, and then the center differential
lock switch. The “4HI” and the center dif-
ferential lock indicator lights come on.
Use this for greater traction when you
experience a loss of power, such as
wheel slipping, in the center differential
unlock mode.
“4LO” mode (low speed, four−wheel
drive, center differential unlocked)
To s e l ec t t hi s m ode, pr e ss t h e “ 4 L O ”
switch only. The “4LO” indicator light
comes on.
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for climbing steep hills, off−road
driving, and hard pulling in sand or mud.
In this mode, the braking feeling that oc-
curs when the wheels are negotiating a
sharp corner is further reduced than in the
“4LO” (low speed, four−wheel drive, center
differential locked) mode.
