2-4. Using other driving systems
2
When driving
Four-wheel drive system (4WD models with a manual transmission)
Use the four-wheel drive control lever to select the following transfer
modes.
The center differential lock indicator comes on when the LL or HL mode is
selected.
H (high speed position)
Use this for normal driving on dry hard-surfaced roads. This position
gives greater economy, quietest ride and least wear.
HL (high speed position, center differential locked)
Use this for driving only on tracks that permit the tires slide, like off-
road, icy or snow-covered roads.
N (neutral position)
No power is delivered to the wheels. The vehicle must be stopped.
LL (low speed position, ce nter differential locked)
Use this for maximum power and traction. Use “LL” for climbing or
descending steep hills, off-road driving, and hard pulling in sand, mud
or deep snow.

162 2-4. Using other driving systems
■Shifting between H and HL
●You need not to depress the clutch pedal.
● If the center differential lock indicator does not come on when you shift
from H to HL, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating.
● If the center differential lock indicator does not go off when you shift from
HL to H, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive
in reverse.
■ Shifting from HL to LL
Stop the vehicle or reduce your speed to less than 5 mph (8 km/h).
Depress the clutch pedal and move the four-wheel drive control lever.
■ Shifting from LL to HL
Depress the clutch pedal and move the four-wheel drive control lever.
■ Shifting to LL
VSC is automatically turned off.
CAUTION
■Caution while driving
Avoid turning suddenly while the center differential is locked. If you do turn
suddenly, the difference in turning speeds between the front and rear wheels
may have a similar effect to braking, thus making driving difficult.

driving systems

When driving
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the center differential
●For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differ-
ential.
● Shift to H after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the slippery or bumpy
surface.
● Do not shift to any position when the vehicle is cornering or when its
wheels spinning freely off the ground.
■ Shifting from H to HL while driving
Never operate the four-wheel drive control lever if the wheels are slipping.
Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting.

2-4. Using other driving systems
Four-wheel drive system (4WD models with an automatic transmission)
Use the front-wheel drive control lever to select the following trans-
fer modes.
The four-wheel drive indicator comes on when the H4, N or L4 mode is
selected.
H2 (high speed position, two-wheel drive)
Use this for normal driving on dry hard-surfaced roads. This position
gives greater economy, quietest ride and least wear.
H4 (high speed position, four-wheel drive)
Use this for driving only on tracks that permit the tires slide, like off-
road, icy or snow-covered roads. This position provides greater traction
than two-wheel drive.
N (neutral position)
No power is delivered to the wheels. The vehicle must be stopped.
L4 (low speed position, four-wheel drive)
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.
