Description
When driving in 4WD AUTO mode, the vehicle operates sim-
ilar  to conventional  2WD  vehicles  under  normal operating
conditions. However, if the system determines that there  is a
need for  the 4WD  mode, the  engine’s driving power  is dis-
tributed to  all four wheels  automatically without  driver inter-
vention.
4WD AUTO
(4WD
LOCK is
deactivated)
(Indicator light is
not illuminated)
When  driving on  normal  roads  and pavement,  the  vehicle
moves similar to conventional 2WD vehicles.
This mode is used  for climbing or descending sharp grades,
off-road driving,  driving on sandy and  muddy roads, etc.,  to
maximize traction.
This  mode  automatically  begins   to  deactivate  at  speeds
above 30 km/h (19  mph) and is shifted to 4WD AUTO  mode
at speed above 40 km/h  (25 mph). If the vehicle decelerates
to  speeds below  30  km/h (19  mph),  however, the  transfer
mode is shifted into 4WD LOCK mode  again.
4WD LOCK
(Indicator light is
illuminated)
NOTICE
When driving on normal roads, deactivate the 4WD LOCK mode by pushing the 4WD LOCK button (the indicator light goes
off). Driving on normal roads with 4WD LOCK mode  (especially, when cornering) may cause mechanical noise or vibration.
The noise and vibration will disappear when the 4WD LOCK mode is deactivated. Some parts of the power train may be dam-
aged by prolonged driving with the  noise and vibration.
When the 4WD LOCK  mode is deactivated, a shock  may be felt as the drive  power is delivered entirely to the  front wheels.
This shock is not a mechanical  failure.
