Part−time four−wheel drive models—
Before using the rear differential lock sys-
tem, first shift the four−wheel drive control
lever into "L4" to see if this is sufficient.
If this has no effect, additionally use the
rear differential lock system.
CAUTION
Do not use the rear differential lock
in the conditions other than above.
Large steering effort and careful cor-
nering control will be required.

To lock the rear differential, push the
switch.
Be sure to stop the wheels before locking
the differential.
For easy locking on vehicle with manual

ic transmission, push the lock switch and
gently depress the accelerator pedal.
The indicator light will blink when the
switch is turned on. Wait a few seconds
for the system to complete operation. Af-
ter the differential is locked, the light will
stop blinking and remain on.
