If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and remove the ignition key.NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the A/T makes no speed
change
E00604801879
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. We recommendyou to have your vehicle checked immediate-
ly. 1. If your vehicle has difficulty moving up-
hill, shift the selector lever into 2nd
gear
of the “Sports mode”.
This method might not work depending on the transmission 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)

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 roadsurface conditions. In addition, the
2WD/4WD operation indication lamp indi- cates the transfer shift lever shifting state.Refer to “2WD/4WD operation indicationlamp” on page 6-23.

for low-speed driving on steep slopes, as
well as sandy, muddy, and other difficult
surfaces. Do not exceed speeds of approxi-
mately 70 km/h (43 mph) in “4LLc” range.
l 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 consumption, and
possible noise generation. It may also in-
crease the differential oil temperature, which may damage the drive system. Further, thedrive train will be subjected to excessive
loading, resulting in oil leakage, component
seizure, or other serious problems. On dry
paved roads and highways, drive the vehicle
in “2H” or “4H” only.Transfer shift lever operation
E00605901444
The transfer shift lever is operated by push-
ing it down and sliding it to the desired posi-
tion.
To shift fromToProcedure2H4HThe transfer shift lever can be operated while the vehicle is either moving or sta-
tionary.
When the vehicle is not in motion, shift the selector lever to the “N” (NEUTRAL) position before operating the transfer shift lever.
When the vehicle is moving, and only while it can be steered straight ahead, shift
the selector lever to the “D” (DRIVE) position, and release the accelerator pedal before operating the transfer shift lever.4H2H or 4HLc

NOTElShifting of the lever among “2H” ↔ “4H”
↔ “4HLc” should only be done at speedsbelow 100 km/h (62 mph).
l When shifting from “2H” to “4H” in cold
weather while the vehicle is in motion, the transmission gear may make some noise. In
cold weather, try to shift the gear while the
vehicle is stopped.
l When the lever is shifted between “2H” ↔
“4H” or “4H” ↔ “4HLc” while the vehicle is stopped, the 2WD/4WD operation indica-
tion lamp blinks while the selection is in process. Drive slowly and normally after
confirming that the lamp is illuminated. Re- fer to “2WD/4WD operation indicationlamp” on page 6-23.
l Do not move the selector lever while the
2WD/4WD operation indication lamp isblinking.
l On vehicles with cruise control, when the
lever is shifted among “2H” ↔ “4H” ↔
“4HLc” while the cruise control is activated,
the transfer gear may make some noise.CAUTIONl Do not operate the transfer shift lever while
the rear wheels of the vehicle are slipping on snow or ice.2WD/4WD operation indica-

NOTElThe 2WD/4WD operation indication lamp
blinks while the selection is in process. Takethe following precautions when the indica-tion lamp is blinking.
• 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 rattling may occur and the desired range may notactually be selected.
• If the front wheel and/or centre differen-
tial lock lamps continue blinking after a“2H” ↔ “4H” ↔ “4HLc” selection has
been made with the vehicle moving, hold the steering wheel in the straight ahead
position and slowly depress the accelera-
tor 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
transfer shift lever to its previous position.
Place the steering wheel in the straight
ahead position, drive the vehicle forward, and release the accelerator pedal. Next,
place the selector lever in the “N” (NEU- TRAL) position and make the range se-
lection again.NOTEl If the front and rear wheel lamps blink rapid-
ly (twice per second) when you attempt to make a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection, the se- lection cannot be made. Stop the vehicle and
release the accelerator pedal. Next, place the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) posi-
tion and make the range selection again.CAUTIONl If a problem is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The front and rear wheel lamps will go out, the centre
differential lock lamp will blink, and transfer shifting will become impossible. Park your vehicle in a safe place, turn off the engine
for a few moments. Restart the engine.
The lamps should resume normal operation. If the lamps continue to blink, we recom-
mend you to have the vehicle checked as soon as possible.

l If the indication lamp continues blinking af-
ter the switch has been pressed to deactivate the rear differential lock, hold the steering
wheel in the straight ahead position then
slowly depress and release the accelerator pedal several times.
l If the indication lamp continues blinking af-
ter the switch has been pressed to activate the rear differential lock, bear in mind thefollowing instructions:
• If the vehicle speed is
12 km/h (7 mph) or
higher, decelerate to a speed of 6 km/h (4 mph) or lower. The switching opera-tion will be completed and the indication lamp will illuminate steadily.
