WORK SUPPORT
When there is no problem with transfer and 4WD system, following symptom in “AUTO” mode may be claimed
by a customer.

Vibration when accelerating on a low µ road (snow-covered or icy road)
It is possible to deal with these symptoms by changing “CLUTCH FORCE RELEASE LIMIT VALUE”.
However, be careful when changing the values because it may adversely affect driving performance.
NOTE:
A slight shock is felt at a few hertz as if it were being pushed lightly from behind.
Operation Procedure
1. Perform “CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE”. Refer to TF-44, "CONSULT-II SETTING PROCEDURE"
.
2. Touch “WORK SUPPORT”.
