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.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to spin or
skid.
NOTICE
Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
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, the quietest ride and least wear.
“H4” (high speed position, four wheel
drive): Lever at “H4”
Use this for normal driving on wet, 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” (low 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 “4WD” (four −wheel drive) indicator
light comes on when the “H4”, “N” or “L4”
mode is selected.
See “(c) Shifting procedure (lever type)”
for further instructions.
