The Four Wheel Drive (4WD)
System delivers engine power to all
front and rear wheels for maximum
traction. 4WD is useful when extra
traction is required on slippery,
muddy, wet, or snow-covered roads.Occasional off-road use such as
established unpaved roads and trails
are OK. It is always important that
the driver carefully reduces the
speed to a level that does not exceed
the safe operating speed for those
conditions.
FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) (IF EQUIPPED)
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
•Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging
off-road conditions.
•Avoid high speeds when cor-
nering or turning.
•Do not make quick steering
wheel movements, such as
sharp lane changes or fast,
sharp turns.
•The risk of a rollover is great-
ly increased if you lose con-
trol of your vehicle at highway
speeds.
•Loss of control often occurs if
two or more wheels drop off
the roadway and the driver
over steers to reenter the
roadway.
•In the event your vehicle
leaves the roadway, do not
steer sharply. Instead, slow
down before pulling back into
the travel lanes.

Driving your vehicle
• Do not drive in water if the level
is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.
• Check your brake condition
once you are out of mud or
water. Depress the brake pedal
several times as you move slow-
ly until you feel normal braking
return.
• Shorten your scheduled mainte-
nance interval if you drive in off-
road conditions such as sand,
mud or water.
• Always wash your vehicle thor-
oughly after off road use, espe-
cially the bottom of the vehicle.
• Be sure to equip the vehicle with
four tyres of the same size and
type.
• Make sure that a full time 4WD
vehicle is towed by a flat bed
tow truck.

cluster is not displayed.
Use this mode when driving up or down steep inclines, driving
off-road, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc. to maximise
traction
(not illuminated)

In the 4WD AUTO mode, under normal operating conditions,
the vehicle operates similar to conventional 2WD vehicles. If the
system determines there is a need for four wheel drive, the
engine’s driving power is distributed to all four wheels automat-
ically.
