gear lock indicator “DIFF.LOCK” in the four-wheel-
drive indicator also comes on when the “LOCK”-

On-Command four-wheel drive and differential
gear lock switches
This vehicle is equipped with an On-Command
four-wheel drive switch “2WD”/“4WD” and a differ-
ential gear lock switch “LOCK”/“4WD”. Select the
appropriate drive according to terrain and the con-
ditions.

Two-wheel drive (“2WD”): Power is supplied to
the rear wheels only.


Four-wheel drive (“4WD”): Power is supplied to
the rear and front wheels.


Four-wheel drive with the differential gear
locked (“4WD-LOCK”): Power is supplied to the
rear and front wheels when the differential gear
is locked (“DIFF.LOCK”). Unlike the 4WD
mode, all wheels turn at the same speed re-
gardless of traction.

Differential gear lock switch “LOCK”/“4WD”
To lock the differential gear in 4WD, stop the vehi-
cle, make sure the On-Command four-wheel-drive
switch is set to “4WD”, move the lever to position
b, and then set the switch to “LOCK”. When the
differential gear is locked, the differential gear lock
indicator light (“DIFF.LOCK”) will come on along
with the differential gear lock indicator light “” in
the multi-function meter unit display. To release
the differential gear lock, stop the vehicle and set
the switch to “4WD”.
WARNING
Always ride at a slow speed when the vehicle
is in 4WD-LOCK, and allow extra time and dis-
tance for maneuvers.
All wheels turn at the same speed when the dif-
ferential is locked, so it takes more effort to
turn the vehicle. The amount of effort is more
the faster you go. You may lose control and
have an accident if you cannot make a sharp
enough turn for the speed you are traveling.

LEARNING TO OPERATE YOUR VEHICLE
You should become familiar with the performance
characteristics of the vehicle in a large, flat area
that is free of obstacles and other vehicles. Prac-
tice control of the accelerator pedal, brakes, steer-
ing, and drive select lever. Drive first at slow speed
and become comfortable at that speed before
gradually increasing your speed. Become familiar
with the way the vehicle feels in low and high rang-
es, first in two-wheel drive (2WD) and then in four-
wheel drive (4WD) and four-wheel drive with the
differential locked (DIFF. LOCK). Also practice
driving in reverse. Take the time to learn basic op-
eration before attempting more difficult maneu-
vers.
