The indicator light will blink when the
switch is turned on. Wait a few seconds for
the system to complete operation. After
the differential is locked, the light will stop
blinking and remain on.
Do not lock the differentials until
the wheels have stopped spin-
ning. Otherwise, the vehicle may
move in an unexpected direction
when the differential locks are en-
gaged, resulting in an accident.
This may also lead to possible
damage to differential lock com-
ponent parts.
CAUTION
!
Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph)
when the differentials are locked.
To unlock the differentials, turn the
switch fully counterclockwise.
Unlock the differentials as soon as the ve-
hicle moves out.
For easy unlocking, slightly turn the steer-
ing wheel in either direction while the ve-
hicle is in motion.
When each of the differential locks is dis-
engaged, the indicator light will go out.
The differentials will also unlock if you un-
lock the center differential. Never forget to
turn off the switch after using this feature.
To check the indicator bulb, turn the igni-
tion key to the “ON” position, but do not
start the engine.
Do not keep driving with the differ-
ential lock switch on.
CAUTION
!

er, first depress the brake pedal and hold
it while setting the parking brake.

brake is fully released and the park-
ing brake reminder light is off.
