(j) Driving in º2nd STRTº (second
start) mode
In the º2nd STRTº (Second start) mode,
the transmission system shifts up from
second gear. Use this mode when starting
your vehicle in sand, mud, ice or snow.
To set the º2nd STRTº mode, push the
º2ndº button. In the º2nd STRTº mode, the
º2nd STRTº indicator light comes on.
The ºPWRº mode is automatically can-
celled when you push the º2ndº button.
Use the four- wheel drive control lever
and center differential lock button to
select the transfer and center differen-
tial modes.
The ºHº position of the four- wheel drive
control lever provides either lock or unlock
mode of the center differential depending
on the center differential lock button posi-
tion.
ºHº (high speed position, center differ-
ential unlocked): Lever at ºHº, center dif-
ferential lock button left out
Use this for normal driving on all types of
roads, from dry hard- surfaced roads to
wet, icy or snow- covered roads. This
position gives greater economy, quietest
ride, least wear and better vehicle control. ºHº (high speed position, center differ-
ential locked):
Lever at ºHº, center differ-
ential lock button pushed in
Use this for greater traction when you
experience a loss of power, such as
wheel slipping, in the center differential
unlock mode.
ºNº (neutral position): Lever at ºNº
No power is delivered to the wheels. Use
this position only for operating a winch or
other equipment. The vehicle must be
stopped.
ºLº (low speed position, center differen-
tial locked): Lever at ºLº
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use ºLº for hard pulling in situations the
vehicle cannot negotiate even in the ºHº
(lock) mode.
The indicator light tells when the differen-
tial lock is engaged. Note that the differ-
ential is not still locked as long as the
indicator light remains off.
If the indicator light does not go off when
you push out the center differential lock
button, drive straight ahead while acceler-
ating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
See º(b) Shifting procedureº for further in-
structions.
