2–12 STARTING AND OPERATING
• ‘4H’ (4-Wheel drive, high)
1. Part-time : Use this for driving on wet
or slippery roads such as roads with
snow, mud or sand.
This position provides greater traction
than 2-wheel drive. The front hubs will
be locked automatically.
2. TOD : Use this for normal driving.
• ‘4L’ (4-Wheel drive, low)
Use this for maximum power and
traction. Use ‘4L’ for climbing or de-
scending steep hills, hard pulling in sand,
mud or deep snow.
4-Wheel Drive Operation
• ‘2H’

‘4H’ (Part-time only)
Depending on the road conditions, ro-
tate the transfer switch to ‘4H’ before
driving off or during driving. Shifting is
possible while driving at the speed of
70km/h or less. The 4WD high (‘4H’) in-
dicator light may come on.
When 4WD in no longer needed, rotate
the 4WD switch from ‘4H’ to ‘2H’. This
will avoid unnecessary heavy steering,
tyre wear and fuel consumption.
NOTE
Perform this operation when driving
straight.
