NOTICE
Pay attention to shifting the transfer
lever safely when driving your vehi-
cle.
NOTE:
• After shifting the transfer lever from "2H"
to "4H", check that the 4WD indicator
light comes on.
• After shifting the transfer lever from "4H"
to "2H", check that the 4WD indicator
goes off.
• When 4WD indicator light is blinking
after shifting the transfer lever to "4H"
position, accelerate, slow down your
vehicle or stop and reverse your vehicle
a little to shift the transfer lever. Pay
attention to the vehicles and the circum-
ference toward or backward your vehicle
when shifting the transfer lever.
• When you shift the transfer lever while
turning the steering wheel or depressing
the accelerator pedal, shifting the trans-
fer lever may be difficult.
• Operate the transfer lever while driving
at low speed if it may be difficult to shift
the transfer lever from "2H" position to
"4H" position when the vehicle is
stopped.
• Shift the transfer lever again after decel-
erating or stopping the vehicle if it may
be difficult to shift the transfer lever from
"2H" position to "4H" position while driv-
ing or when the gear noise occurs.
• There may be a case to operate the
transfer lever heavily when shifting the
transfer lever from "4H" position to "2H"
position while driving. In this case, posi-
tion the front wheels straight ahead and
drive for a while and then operate shift-
ing the transfer lever again.
• When the transfer lever is shifted from
2H" position to "4H" position or from "4H"
position to 2H" position and the air lock-
ing hubs are activated, the air condition-
ing system may not be operated for
several seconds. This is not a malfunc-
tion.
• When the ignition switch is turned "ON"
after the transfer lever is shifted from 2H"
position to "4H" position or from "4H"
position to 2H" position while stopping
the engine, 4WD indicator light may
blink. This is not a malfunction.
