Rear differential lock system
The rear differential lock system is pro-
vided 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 of the rear wheels is spinning.
First shift the four-wheel drive control into
"LL" or "L" with the center differential
locked to see if you can move forward. If
this does not work, use the rear differen-
tial lock system also.
Lt
CAUTION
Do not use the rear differential lock
in the conditions other than above.
Large steering effort and careful cor-
nering control will be required.
