O peration of Four Wheel Drive
F eatures
T he rear axle is equipped with a manually operated
differential lo ck. It is engaged (locked) by moving the
d ifferential lever to the left and down. Locking the
d ifferential sends equal power to both rear wheels for
b etter traction. It may be used in both 2WD and 4WD
m odes.
N ote: Locking the differential on paved or hard
s urfaces may increase steering effort and tire wear.
To switch to four wheel drive, the front wheels are
engaged simply by flipping the dashboard switch to
4WD. In 4WD mode power is automatically sent to the
front wheels when the rear wheels lose traction.
Warning: Bring engine to an idle before
selecting 4WD mode. Sudden engagement of
4X4 switch under power may damage drive
train. Failure to do so may void warranty.
Because the power transfer is automatic, you may
operate the vehicle in 4WD mode continuously without
affecting steering effort or tire wear.
