Four-wheel-drive indicator “”/“”
This indicator comes on when the “2WD”/“4WD”
switch is set to the “4WD” position. The differential
gear lock indicator “DIFF.LOCK” in the four-wheel-
drive indicator also comes on when the “LOCK”-
“4WD” switch is set to the “4WD-LOCK” position.NOTE:_ Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the differ-
ential gear case, the four-wheel drive indicator
may not come on until the vehicle starts moving. _

Coolant temperature warning light “”
When the coolant temperature reaches a specified
level, this light comes on to warn that the coolant
temperature is too hot. If the light comes on during
operation, stop the engine as soon as it is safe to
do so and allow the engine to cool down for about
10 minutes. (See page 8-136.)

On-Command four-wheel drive and differential
gear lock switches
This vehicle is equipped with an On-Command
four-wheel drive switch “2WD”/“4WD” and a differ-
ential gear lock switch “LOCK”/“4WD”. Select the
appropriate drive according to terrain and the con-
ditions.

Two-wheel drive (“2WD”): Power is supplied to
the rear wheels only.


Four-wheel drive (“4WD”): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels.


Four-wheel drive with the differential gear
locked (“4WD-LOCK”): Power is supplied to the
rear and front wheels when the differential gear
is locked (“DIFF.LOCK”). Unlike the 4WD
mode, all wheels turn at the same speed re-
gardless of traction.

Differential gear lock switch “LOCK”/“4WD”
To lock the differential gear in 4WD, stop the vehi-
cle, make sure the On-Command four-wheel-drive
switch is set to “4WD”, move the select lever to po-
sition
b, and then set the switch to “LOCK”. When
the differential gear is locked, the differential gear
lock indicator light (“DIFF.LOCK”) will come on
along with the differential gear lock indicator “”
in the multi-function meter unit display. To release
the differential gear lock, stop the vehicle and set
the switch to “4WD”.
WARNING
Always ride at a slow speed when the vehicle
is in 4WD-LOCK, and allow extra time and dis-
tance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the vehicle. The amount of effort is more
the faster you go. You may lose control and
have an accident if you cannot make a sharp
enough turn for the speed you are traveling.

NOTE:_

When the switch is set to “LOCK”, the differ-
ential gear lock indicator light will flash until
the differential gear is locked.


When the indicator light is flashing, turning
the steering wheel back and forth will help the
differential gear lock to engage.


Riding before the differential gear lock is
properly engaged (e.g., when the indicator
light is flashing) will cause the engine speed
to be limited until engagement is complete.
