The center differential lock indicator
■
The indicator blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.
●
If the center differential lock indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds when the center
●
differential is locked, stop the slipping or spinning and push the switch again.
If the indicator continue to blink even if doing so, have the vehicle inspected by your
Lexus dealer as soon as possible. There may be a trouble in the four-wheel drive system.
Locking/unlocking the center differential
■
If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks. If the indi-
●
cator does not turn off when unlocking the center differential, drive straight ahead
while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
Avoid turning suddenly while the center differential is locked. If you do turn suddenly,
●
the difference in turning speeds between the front and rear wheels may have a similar
effect to braking, thus making driving difficult.
WARNING
While driving
■
Observe the following precautions. Failure to do so may cause an accident resulting in
death or serious injury.
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost traction.
●
Do not operate the center differential lock/unlock when the vehicle is turning or
●
when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.
NOTICE
To prevent damage to the center differential
■
For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differential.
●
Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the slippery
●
or bumpy surface.
