When driving on dry paved road.
4H
Full-time 4-wheel drive
The basic position for super select 4WD II.When driving on dry paved or slippery roads.
4HLc

engaged 4-wheel drive
When driving on rough, sand or snow covered roads.
4LLc
Low range centre dif-ferential lock
engaged 4-wheel drive
When driving up or down steep hills, on rough or muddy roads (especially when increased torque is required).
CAUTION
!●
The “4LLc” range gives maximum torque for low- speed driving on steep slopes, as well as sandy,muddy, and other difficul
t surfaces. On vehicles
with A/T, do not exceed
speeds of approximately
70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc” range.
●
Do not drive your vehicle in the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position on dry paved roads and highways. Doing so may result in excessive tyre wear, increased fuel con-sumption, and possible nois
e generation. It may also
increase the differential
oil temperature, which may
damage the drive system.
Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading, resulting in oil leakage, component seizure,
or other serious prob-
lems. On dry paved roads and highways, drive the vehicle in “2H” or “4H” only.

“4LLc” selection has been made,
the front and rear wheel lamps continue blinking and the desired range is not actually selected, return the transfershift lever to its previous
position. Place the steering
wheel in the straight ahead
position, drive the vehicle
forward, and release the accelerator pedal. Next, holddown the clutch pedal (with
M/T) or place the selector
lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (with A/T) and make the range selection again.
