snow, mud or sand.
This position provides greater traction
than 2-wheel drive. The front hubs will
be locked automatically.
2. Full-time : Use this for normal driving.
•
'4L' (4-Wheel drive, low)
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use '4L' for climbing or descending steep
hills, hard pulling in sand, mud or deep snow.

Depending on the road conditions, se-
lect the 4WD switch to '4H' by pushing
before driving off or during driving.
Shifting is possible while driving at the
speed of 70km/h or less. The 4WD high
('4H') indicator light may come on.
When 4WD is in no longer needed, se-
lect the 4WD switch from '4H' to '2H'.
This will avoid unnecessary heavy
steering, tyre wear and fuel consump-
tion.
Perform this operation when driving
straight.
