WARNING
■While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost traction. Doing
so may cause an accident result ing in death or serious injury.
■When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator turns on/off,
the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer mode disengages both
the front and rear driveshafts from the po wertrain and allows the vehicle to move
regardless of the shift position. (At this time, the indicator blinks and the buzzer
sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in P. You or
someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the shifting of the transfer
mode.
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the center differential
●For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differential.
●Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the slippery
or bumpy surface.
●Do not push the center differential lock/unlock switch when the vehicle is turning or
when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.
