SHIFTING BETWEEN "H" OR "H4" AND
"L4"
To shift from "H" or "H4" to "L4", stop
the vehicle or reduce your speed to less
than 8 km/h (5 mph), depress the clutch
pedal and move the four-wheel drive con-
trol lever with both the free-wheeling hubs
engaged.
If you cannot shift, drive the vehicle a
short distance forward or backward and
try again.
To shift from "L4" to "H4" or "H", stop
the vehicle or reduce your speed to less
than 8 km/h (5 mph), depress the clutch
pedal and move the four-wheel drive con-
trol lever. When the "H4" button is pushed
in the transfer shifts into "H4"; when the
b~tton
is left out, the transfer shifts into
"H". Disengage both the free-wheeling
hubs for continued "H" use.
If you cannot shift, drive the vehicle a
short distance forward or backward and
try again.
Front and rear differential
lock system
16011
The front and rear differential lock sys-
tem is provided for use only when
wheel spinning occurs in a ditch or on
a slippery or ragged surface.
This differential lock system is effective in
case one or either right or left pair of the
wheels are spinning.
Before using the front and rear differential
lock system, first shift the four-wheel
drive control into "H4" or "L4" with the
free-wheeling hubs engaged to see if it
works. If this has no effect, additionally
use the front and rear differential lock
system.
&
CAUTION
Do not use the front and rear differ-
ential locks in the conditions other
than above. Large steering effort and
careful cornering control will be re-
quired. Especially use of the front dif-
ferential lock in addition to the rear
will result in extremely difficult steer-
ing control and may cause the vehicle
to spin suddenly during acceleration
or engine braking.
