"N" (neutral position): Lever at "N"
No power is delivered to the wheels. The
vehicle must be stopped.
"L4" (Iow speed position, four-wheel
drive): Lever at "L4"
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use "L4" for climbing or descending steep
hills, off-road driving, and hard pulling in
sand, mud or deep snow.
The four-wheel drive indicator light comes
on when the "H4", "N" or "L4" mode is
selected.

(b) Free-wheeling hubs
16016
To engage the free-wheeling hubs, turn
the hubs to "LOCK". To disengage, turn
the hubs to "FREE".
Make sure that the triangle mark on the
hub aligns with the other one at the
side you wish to set.
Setting the free-wheeling hubs in "FREE"
allows you to disengage the front axle and
driveshaft so that they are not revolving.
This reduces noise and wear when the
vehicle is in two-wheel drive.
You should drive with the hubs in "LOCK"
for at least 16 km (10 miles) each month.
This will assure that the front drive com-
ponents are lubricated.
(C) Shifting procedure
(lever control type-1 FZ-FE
and 1HD-FTE engines)
