Easy select 4WD*E00614700148
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 posi-
tion according to the road surface conditions. In ad-
dition, the 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp in-
dicates the transfer shift lever shifting state. Refer
to “2WD/4WD operation indication lamp” on page
4-24.

NOTE
l On vehicles with automatic transmission,
when the transfer shift lever is in “4L”, the
transmission will not shift into the overdrive
gear.CAUTIONl The “4L” range gives maximum torque
for lowspeed driving on steep slopes, as
well as sandy, muddy, and other difficult
surfaces. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, do not exceed speeds of ap-
proximately 70 km/h (43 mph) in “4L”
range.
l Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H” or
“4L” on dry paved roads and highways.
Doing so may result in excessive tyre
wear, increased fuel consumption, and
possible noise generation. It may also in-
crease the differential oil temperature,
which may damage the drive system. Fur-
ther, 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” only.

NOTE l On vehicles with automatic transmission,
when the transfer shift lever is in “4LLc”, the
transmission will not shift into the overdrive
gear.CAUTIONl The “4LLc” range gives maximum tor-
que for low-speed driving on steep slopes,
as well as sandy, muddy, and other diffi-
cult surfaces. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, do not exceed speeds of ap-
proximately 70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc”
range.
l Do not drive your vehicle in the “4HLc”
or “4LLc” on dry paved roads and high-
ways. Doing so may result in excessive
tyre wear, increased fuel consumption,
and possible noise generation. It may also
increase the differential oil temperature,
which may damage the drive system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, resulting in oil leakage,

: Blink: Illuminate: Remain off
NOTE l The 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp
blinks while the selection is in process. Take
the following precautions when the indica-
tion lamp is blinking or remains off. •Keep the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position while making range selec-
tions. If you attempt to drive forward
with the steering wheel turned, gear rat-
tling may occur and the desired range
may not actually be selected.
• If you move the transfer shift lever from
“4H” to “4HLc” while the vehicle is sta-
tionary, keep your speed initially very
low when you subsequently make a stand-
ing start. Before driving at normal
speeds, confirm that the centre differen-
tial lock lamp has changed from blinking
to steady illumination.
• If you move the transfer shift lever from
“4HLc” to “4H” and the centre differen-
tial lock lamp does not stop blinking,
place the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position and slowly depress the ac-
celerator pedal several times.
• If you move the transfer shift lever from
“4H” to “2H” and the front wheel lamp
does not stop blinking, confirm safety
around the vehicle then accelerate, decel-
erate, and reverse until the front wheel
lamp goes off. When the front wheel
lamp goes off, you can then proceed to
drive the vehicle.
If you accelerate, decelerate, and reverse
but the front wheel lamp still does not
stop blinking, return the transfer shift lev-
er to “4H” then have your vehicle inspec-
ted.l When you move the transfer shift lever from
“4H” to “4HLc”, there may be a slight delay
before the centre differential lock lamp illu-
minates.
