When the A/T makes no speed change
E00604800348
If the transmission does not ch
ange speeds while driving, or
your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphill slope, it may be that there is something unusual hap-pening in the transmission, causi
ng a safety device to activate.
We recommend you to have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving uphill, shift the
selector lever into 2nd gear of the “Sports mode”. This method might not work depending on the transmis-sion malfunction.
2. Once the vehicle is moving on a level road, move the
selector lever back to “D” (DRIVE).
Super select 4WD II (SS4 II)
E00605700067
Shifting to rear-wheel drive or
4-wheel drive can be made by
operating the transfer shift lever
(A). Shift the transfer shift
lever to an appropriate position according to the road surfaceconditions. In addition, the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp indicates the transfer shif
t lever shifting state. Refer to
“2WD/4WD operation indicat
ion lamp” on page 4-38.

engaged 4-wheel drive
When driving on rough, sand or snow covered roads.
4LLc
Low range centre dif-ferential lock
engaged 4-wheel drive
When driving up or down steep hills, on rough or muddy roads (especially when increased torque is required).
CAUTION
!●
The “4LLc” range gives maximum torque for low- speed driving on steep slopes, as well as sandy,muddy, and other difficul
t surfaces. On vehicles
with A/T, do not exceed
speeds of approximately
70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc” range.
●
Do not drive your vehicle in the “4HLc” or “4LLc” position on dry paved roads and highways. Doing so may result in excessive tyre wear, increased fuel con-sumption, and possible nois
e generation. It may also
increase the differential
oil temperature, which may
damage the drive system.
Further, the drive train
will be subjected to excessive loading, resulting in oil leakage, component seizure,
or other serious prob-
lems. On dry paved roads and highways, drive the vehicle in “2H” or “4H” only.

NOTE●
Shifting of the lever among “2H”
↔
“4H”
↔
“4HLc” should only be done at speeds below 100 km/h (62 mph).
●
When shifting from “2H” to “4H” in cold weather while the vehi
cle is in motion, the transmission gear may make some noise.
In cold weather, try to shift the gear while the vehicle is stopped.
●
When the lever is shifted between “2H”
↔
“4H” or “4H”
↔
“4HLc” while the vehicle is stopped, the 2WD/4WD operation
indication lamp blinks while the selection is in process. Driv
e slowly and normally after confirming that the lamp is illumi-
nated. Refer to “2WD/4WD operation indication lamp” on page 4-38.
●
Do not move the selector lever while the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp is blinking.
●
On vehicles with cruise control, when the lever is shifted among “2H”
↔
“4H”
↔
“4HLc” while the cruise control is acti-
vated, the transfer gear may make some noise.

NOTE●
The 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp blinks while the selection is in process. Take the following precautions when the indication lamp is blinking. • Keep the steering wheel in the straight ahead positionwhile making range selections. If you attempt to drive forward with the steering wh
eel turned, gear rattling
may occur and the desired range may not actually beselected. • If the front wheel and/or cen
tre differential lock lamps
continue blinking after a “2H”

selection has been made with the vehicle moving, hold the steering wheel in the st
raight ahead position and
slowly depress the accelerator pedal several times.• If, after a “4HLc”
↔
“4LLc” selection has been made,
the front and rear wheel lamps continue blinking and the desired range is not actually selected, return the transfershift lever to its previous
position. Place the steering
wheel in the straight ahead
position, drive the vehicle
forward, and release the accelerator pedal. Next, holddown the clutch pedal (with
M/T) or place the selector
lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (with A/T) and make the range selection again.
