4WD MODE SWITCH
AUTO mode (AUTO indicator lamp ON)
●Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.
●Makes possible stable driving, with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.
●On roads which do not require 4WD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close
to front-wheel drive.
●Sensors determine the vehicle's turning condition, and in response tight cornering/braking are controlled
by distributing optimum torque to rear wheels.
NOTE:
●When driving in AUTO mode or LOCK mode, if there is a large difference between front and rear wheel
speed which continues for a long time, oil temperature of drive system parts becomes too high and 4WD
warning lamp flashes rapidly. (When 4WD warning lamp flashes, vehicle changes to front-wheel drive
conditions.)
● When driving in AUTO mode, 4WD warning lamp may flash slowly if there is a significant difference in
pressure or wear between tires. At this time, vehicle performance is not fully available and cautious driving
is required. (Continues until engine is turned OFF.)
●If 4WD warning lamp is flashing rapidly, stop vehicle and allow it to idle for some time. Flashing will stop
and AUTO mode will be restored.
●If the warning lamp flashes slowly during driving but remains OFF after engine is restarted, the system is
normal. If it again flashes slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.
●When the difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel with AUTO mode the shift
switch occasionally changes to LOCK mode automatically. This is not malfunction.
LOCK mode (LOCK indicator lamp and AUTO indicator lamp ON)
●Front/rear wheel torque distribution is fixed, ensuring stable driving when climbing slopes.
●When LOCK mode is selected, vehicle will switch automatically to AUTO mode if vehicle speed increases.
If vehicle speed then decreases, the vehicle automatically returns to direct 4-wheel driving conditions.
NOTE:
If there is a significant difference in pressure or wear between tires, full vehicle performance is not available.
Tire conditions are detected, and LOCK mode may be prohibited, or else speeds at which LOCK mode is
enabled may be restricted.
2WD mode (indicator lamps OFF)
Vehicle is in front-wheel drive.
NOTE:
● If front wheels are slipping in 2WD mode, do not switch to AUTO or LOCK. This can cause difficulties for
the system.
● The shift switch even if the shift switch is in 2WD mode, the sift switch occasionally automatically change
to 4WD mode depending on the driving condition (For example; Depressing the acceleration firmly). this is
not malfunction. How ever, 4WD mode indicator lamp dose not illuminate.
4WD WARNING LAMP
Turns ON when there is a malfunction in 4WD system. It indicates that fail-safe mode is engaged and vehicle
is in 2WD.
Also turns ON when ignition switch is turned ON, for purpose of bulb check. Turns OFF approximately for 3
seconds after the engine starts if system is normal.

TROUBLE DIAGNOSIS
NOTE:
1. Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving conditions in AUTO mode. This is not
malfunction.
2. Heavy tight-corner braking symptom occurs when vehicle is driven in the following conditions: LOCK
mode, steering wheel is turned fully to either sides, and accelerator pedal was depressed.
3. When the difference of revolution speed between the front and the rear wheels is large, the 4WD mode
does not change to other mode.this is not a malfunction.
