1999 HONDA CR-V Workshop Manual

Precautions for Real-time 4WD (Four-wheel Drivel
Under normal conditions, the vehicle is in 2WD (front-wheel drive). However, the system will instantly transmit
appropriate driving force to the rear wheels {depending on the driving force of the front wheels and the road conditons)
The Real-time 4WD-Dual Pump System does not have a manual switch to disable the 4WD system. Whenever service
work requires spinning the front or rear wheels with the engine, always lift up and support the vehicle so all lour wheels
are off the ground (see page 1- 19).
