O Engine idling speed is high while
warming up the engine. Be espe-

driving on slippery surfaces with
the 4WD shift switch set in AUTO.
4WD shift indicator light
The 4WD shift indicator light is located in the
tachometer.
The light should turn off within 1 second after
turning the ignition switch to ON.
While the engine is running, the 4WD shift
indicator light will illuminate the position
selected by the 4WD shift switch.
O The 4WD shift indicator light may
blink while shifting from one drive
mode to the other. When the shifting
is completed, the 4WD shift indicator
light will come on. If the indicator
light does not come on immediately,
make sure the area around the ve-
hicle is safe, and drive the vehicle
straight, accelerate or decelerate or
move the vehicle in reverse, then
shift the 4WD shift switch.
O If the 4WD warning light comes on, the
4WD indicator light goes out.
CAUTION
O When the 4WD shift switch is
turned to the AUTO position at low
ambient temperatures, the 4WD
shift indicator light may show 4H.
If this happens, all four wheels
are driven as torque distribution
is in the 4H position. Be careful
as the vehicle may become diffi-
cult to turn. When the vehicle is
driven, the 4WD shift indicator
light should change to AUTO.
O If the 4WD shift indicator light
indication changes to 2WD when
the 4WD shift switch is shifted to
the AUTO or 4H position at low
ambient temperatures, the 2WD
mode may be being engaged due
to malfunctioning drive system. If
the indicator does not return to
normal and the 4WD warning
light comes on, have the system
