Selecting the drive mode

The vehicle handles differently in each of the drive modes: "2WD", "4WD" and "DIFF. LOCK".
For example, the vehicle requires more effort to turn in "DIFF. LOCK" than in "2WD". Always stop
the vehicle before changing the position of the On-Command drive knob. The drive mode icon
changes according to the selected drive mode. The drive mode icon and the "DIFF. LOCK" indi-
cator light come on as follows:
Knob position

Indication
(none)
"2WD" (two-wheel drive): Drive power is supplied to the rear
wheels only.
"4WD" (four-wheel drive): Drive power is supplied to the
front and rear wheels.
"DIFF. LOCK" (four-wheel drive with the differential gear
locked): Drive power is supplied to the front and rear wheels
and the differential gear is locked.
Unlike in four-wheel drive, all wheels turn at the same
speed.
