To lock the rear differential, push and
turn the switch clockwise until it clicks.
Be sure to stop the wheels before locking
the differentials.
For easy locking, turn the lock switch and
gently depress the accelerator pedal.
The indicator light will blink when the
switch is turned on. Wait a few seconds
for the system to complete operation. Af-
ter the differential is locked, the light will
stop blinking and remain on.
The anti±lock brake system does not oper-
ate when the rear differential is locked. It
is normal operation for the ºABSº warning
light to be on at this time.
CAUTION
Do not lock the differentials until
the wheels have stopped spinning.
Otherwise, the vehicle may move in
an unexpected direction when the
differential locks are engaged, re-
sulting in an accident. This may
also lead to possible damage to dif-
ferential lock component parts.
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
vehicle 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 differential will also unlock if you shift
the four±wheel drive control lever to ºHº.
Never forget to turn of the switch after
using this feature.
To check the indicator bulb, turn the igni-
tion key to the ºONº position, but do not
start the engine.
CAUTION
Do not keep driving with the differen-
tial lock switch on.
