Use the four−wheel drive control switch
knob and center differential lock switch
to select the transfer and center differ-
ential modes.
The “H4” and “L4” positions of the four−
wheel drive control switch knob provide
either lock or unlock mode of the center
differential. The center differential can be
locked or unlocked by pushing the center
differential lock switch.
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 and “VSC OFF” indica-
tor lights turn off.
“H4” (high speed position) and center
differential unlocked: Four−wheel drive
control switch knob at “H4”, center differ-
ential unlocked
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard−surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow−covered roads. This
position gives greater economy, quietest
ride, least wear and better vehicle control.
“H4” (high speed position) and center
differential locked: Four−wheel drive con-
trol switch knob at “H4”, center differential
locked
Use this for greater traction when you
experience a loss of power, such as
wheel slipping, in the center differential
unlock mode.
“L4” (low speed position) and center
differential unlocked: Four−wheel drive
control switch knob at “L4”, center differ-
ential unlocked
The “4LO” (low speed four−wheel drive)
indicator light comes on when the “L4”
mode is selected.
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use this for climbing or descending 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
“L4” (low speed position) and center differ-
ential locked mode.
“L4” (low speed position) and center
differential locked: Four−wheel drive con-
trol switch knob at “L4”, center differential
locked
The “4LO” (low speed four−wheel drive)
indicator light comes on when the “L4”
mode is selected.
