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 light and “VSC OFF”
indicator light turn off.
“H2” (high speed position, two−wheel
drive): Multi−mode control switch knob at
“H2”
Use this for normal driving on dry hard−
surfaced roads. This position gives greater
economy, quietest ride, least wear and
better vehicle control.
“H4” (high speed position, four−wheel
drive) and center differential unlocked:
Multi−mode control switch knob at “H4”,
center differential unlocked
The four−wheel drive indicator light comes
on when the “H4” mode is selected.
Use this for greater traction than two−
wheel drive. (When you experience a loss
of power, such as wheel slipping.) This
position provides greater traction than
two−wheel drive.
“H4” (high speed position, four−wheel
drive) and center differential locked:
Multi−mode control switch knob at “H4”,
center differential locked
The four−wheel drive indicator light comes
on when the “H4” mode is selected.
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, four−wheel
drive) and center differential unlocked:
Multi−mode control switch knob at “L4”,
center differential unlocked
The four−wheel drive and “4LO” (low
speed four−wheel drive) indicator lights
come 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, four−wheel drive)
and center differential locked mode.
“L4” (low speed position, four−wheel
drive) and center differential locked:
Multi−mode control switch knob at “L4”,
center differential locked
The four−wheel drive and “4LO” (low
speed four−wheel drive) indicator lights
come on when the “L4” mode is selected.
