*1:O The transfer 4LO position indicator
light may blink. Stop the vehicle. Be
sure to shift the 4WD shift switch
after the automatic transmission lever
has been shifted to the N position. If
the indicator light keeps blinking after
the 4WD shift procedure in the pre-
vious page, drive slowly without
abrupt maneuvers for a while. Then
the light will turn on or off.
O Avoid making a turn or abrupt starts
while shifting to 4LO. Otherwise
gears may grind, damaging the drive
system.
*2:Make sure the transfer 4LO position indi-
cator light turns on when you shift the
4WD shift switch to 4LO.
The transfer case 4WD shift switch is used to
select either 2WD or 4WD depending on the
driving conditions. There are four types of
drive modes available, AUTO, 2WD, 4H and
4LO.
The 4WD shift switch electronically controls
the transfer case operation. Rotate the switch
to move between each mode, 2WD, AUTO, 4H
and 4LO.
You must push the switch in to select
4LO, and the vehicle MUST be station-
ary and the automatic transmission se-
lector lever is in the N position when
changing into or out of 4LO.
WARNING
When parking, apply the parking
brake before stopping theengine and
make sure that the 4WD shift indica-
tor light is on and the ATP warning
light goes off. Otherwise, the vehicle
could unexpectedly move even if the
automatic transmission is in the P
position.
CAUTION
O Never shift the 4WD shift switch
between 4LO and 4H while driv-
ing.
O The 4H position provides greater
power and traction. Avoid exces-
sive speed, as it will cause loss
of traction. Speed over 80 km/h
(50 MPH) in 4H is not recom-
mend.
O The 4LO position provides maxi-
mum power and traction. Avoid
raising vehicle speed exces-
sively, as the maximum speed is
approximately 50 km/h (30 MPH).
O When driving straight, shift the
4WD shift switch to the 2WD,
AUTO or4H position. Do not move
