2-4. Using other driving systems

Four-wheel drive system

Use the front drive control lever to select the following transfer
modes.

H2 (high speed position, two-wheel drive)

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)

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.
The four-wheel drive indicator light comes on

N (neutral position)

No power is delivered to the wheels. The vehicle must be stopped.
The four-wheel drive indicator light comes on
L4 (low speed position, four-wheel drive)
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.
