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 8-140.)CAUTION:_

The engine may overheat if the vehicle is
overloaded. If this happens, reduce the
load to specification.


After restarting, make sure that the light is
out. Continuous use while the light is on
may cause damage to the engine.

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 “4WD”/“LOCK”. 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”.

On-Command differential gear lock switch
“4WD”/”LOCK”
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.

LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE
You should become familiar with the performance
characteristics of the vehicle in a large, flat area
that is free of obstacles and other vehicles. Prac-
tice control of the accelerator pedal, brakes, steer-
ing, and drive select lever. Drive first at slow speed
and become comfortable at that speed before
gradually increasing your speed. Become familiar
with the way the vehicle feels in low and high rang-
es, first in two-wheel drive (2WD) and then in four-
wheel drive (4WD) and four-wheel drive with the
differential locked (DIFF. LOCK). Also practice
driving in reverse. Take the time to learn basic op-
eration before attempting more difficult maneu-
vers.

CAUTION:_ Do not shift from low to high or vice versa with-
out coming to a complete stop and waiting for
the engine to return to normal idle speed. Dam-
age to the engine or drive train may occur. _TURNING YOUR VEHICLE
The vehicle is easier to steer in two-wheel drive
(2WD) than four-wheel drive (4WD). Steering
takes the most effort in 4WD with the differential
locked (DIFF. LOCK).
It is possible for the vehicle to roll over or go out of
control if you attempt sharp, high-speed turns. You
should also be careful making sharp turns on
rough terrain. Do not attempt to turn around or
make abrupt maneuvers on slopes.
