Fail-SafeINFOID:0000000006222228
 If any malfunction occurs in 4WD electrical system, and control unit detects the malfunction, 4WD warning
lamp on combination meter turns ON to indicate system malfunction.
 When 4WD warning lamp is ON, vehicle changes to rear-wheel drive or shifts to 4-wheel drive (front-wheels
still have some driving torque).
