TIP

The respective drive indicator flashes until
the gears are engaged or disengaged.


To help the gears engage or disengage when
a drive indicator (and indicator light) is flash-
ing, make sure that there are no obstacles or
people around the vehicle, and then briefly
operate the vehicle a few times in reverse
and forward until the indicator (and indicator
light) for the selected drive mode comes on.
In addition to operating in reverse and for-
ward, also turning the steering wheel back
and forth will help the front differential gear
lock engage or disengage.
See “OPERATION” on pages 6-17–6-19 for more
information.

On-Command drive knob
This vehicle is equipped with an On-Command
drive knob to select the drive mode.
The drive knob has four positions: “DIFF UN-
LOCK”, “2WD”, “4WD”, and “DIFF LOCK”. Select
the appropriate drive mode according to terrain
and conditions.

“DIFF UNLOCK”: Power is supplied to the rear
wheels only with the rear differential gear un-
locked.


“2WD”: Power is supplied to the rear wheels
only with the rear differential gear locked. Un-
like the “DIFF UNLOCK” mode, the rear wheels
turn at the same speed regardless of traction.


“4WD”: Power is supplied to the rear and front
wheels with the rear differential gear locked
and the front differential gear unlocked.


“DIFF LOCK”: Power is supplied to the rear and
front wheels with the front and rear differential
gears locked. Unlike the “4WD” mode, all
wheels turn at the same speed regardless of
traction.

The vehicle handles differently in each of the drive modes (“DIFF UNLOCK”, “2WD”, “4WD” and “DIFF
LOCK”). For example, the vehicle requires more effort to turn in “DIFF LOCK” than in “DIFF UNLOCK” or
“2WD”.
Always stop the vehicle before changing the position of the On-Command drive knob.

ferential gear lock indicator light “DIFF. LOCK” come on as follows:ACE-02E
