On-Command drive knob

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 meter display changes
according to the selected drive mode. The different drive indicators, and the differential gear lock
indicator light "DIFF. LOCK" come on as follows:
Knob position Indication
No indicator light.
Drive mode
"2WD" (two-wheel drive): Power is supplied to the rear
wheels.
"4WD" (four-wheel drive): Power is supplied to the rear and
front wheels.
"DIFF LOCK" (four-wheel drive with the differential gear
locked): Power is supplied to the rear and front wheels and
the differential gear is locked.
Unlike in four-wheel drive, all wheels turn at the same
speed.
