Good driving practice
• If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the
transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
• When towing a trailer, in order
to
main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use fifth gear.
Lt
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle
to
skid or
spin.
NOTICE
• Do
not
use
any
gears
other
than
first
gear
when starting
off
and
moving forward. Doing so
may
dam-
age the clutch.
• Make sure the vehicle is
completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
Four-wheel
drive
system-
(a) Front drive control
H16007
Use the front drive control lever to se-
lect the following transfer modes.
"H2" (high speed position,
two-wheel
drive): Lever at "H2"
Use this for normal driving on dry
hard-
surfaced roads. This position gives greater
economy, quietest ride and
least
wear.
"H4" (high speed position,
four-wheel
drive): Lever at "H4"
Use this
for
driVing only on
tracks
that
permit the tires slide, like
off-road,
icy or
snow-covered
roads.
This
position pro-
vides greater traction than
two-wheel
drive.
"N" (neutral position): Lever at "N"
No power is delivered to
the
wheels. The
vehicle must be stopped.
"L4" (Iow speed position,
four-wheel
drive): Lever at "L4"
Use this
for
maximum power and traction.
Use "L4"
for
climbing or
descending
steep
hills,
off-road
driving, and hard pulling in
sand, mud or deep snow.
The
four-wheel
drive
indicator
light comes
on when the "H4", "N" or "L4" mode is
selected.
See "(c) Shifting procedure"
for
further
in-
structions.
