Always keep both hands, arms, feet, and legs
inside the vehicle at all times during operation.
Keep your feet on the floorboard. Never hold
onto the enclosure except when using the
handgrip inside the enclosure. Otherwise, your
hand could be injured if it is caught between the
enclosure and an obstacle outside the vehicle.


Always keep both hands on the steering wheel
when driving.


Never wrap your thumbs and fingers around
the steering wheel. This is particularly impor-
tant when driving in rough terrain. The front
wheels will move right and left as they respond
to the terrain, and this movement will be felt in
the steering wheel. A sudden jolt could wrench
the steering wheel around, and your thumbs or
fingers could be injured if they are in the way of
the steering wheel spokes.


Always go slowly and be extra careful when op-
erating on unfamiliar terrain. Always be alert to
changing terrain conditions when driving the
vehicle.

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-

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.

To change from 2WD to 4WD, stop the vehicle,
and then set the switch to “4WD”. When the vehi-
cle is in 4WD, the 4WD indicator “” will come
on in the multi-function meter unit display. To
change from 4WD to 2WD, stop the vehicle, be
sure the select lever is set to position
a, and then
set the switch to “2WD”.

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.
