Four-wheel drive system (part-time 4WD
models)
Use the front-wheel drive control lever or switch to select the fol-
lowing transfer modes:
Type A

The four-wheel drive indicator comes on when H4, N or L4 mode is
selected.
H2 (high speed position, two-wheel drive)
1
Use this for normal driving on dry hard-surfaced roads. This position gives
greater economy, quietest ride and least wear.
H4 (high speed position, four-wheel drive)
2
Use this for driving only on tracks that permit the tires slide, like off-road,
icy or snow-covered roads. This position provides greater traction than
two-wheel drive.
N (neutral position)
3
No power is delivered to the wheels. The vehicle must be stopped.
L4 (low speed position, four-wheel drive)
4
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.
