EBU34910Parking brake indicator light “(P)”
This indicator light comes on when the park-
ing brake is applied.EBU36450High beam indicator light “ ”
This indicator light comes on when the high
beam of the headlight is switched on.EBU35851Differential gear lock indicator light “DIFF
LOCK”
This indicator light comes on when the front
differential gear is locked.TIPWhen the On–Command drive knob is set to
“DIFF LOCK”, the indicator light will flash until
the differential is locked. Turn the steering
wheel back and forth or drive slowly to help
the differential gear lock to engage.
EBU34921Drivetrain icon “ / ”
The drivetrain icon indicates what type of
drive mode is currently selected. When 2WD
is selected, the icon will turn off. When 4WD
is selected, “ ” is displayed. And when 4WD
with differential lock is selected “ ” is dis-
played.TIP See pages 4-21 and 6-10 for more informa-
tion on selecting the drive mode.
 Due to the synchronizing mechanism in the
differential gear case, the drivetrain icon
may not come on until the vehicle starts
moving.
 When the On-Command drive knob is set
to “DIFF LOCK” or “4WD”, the drivetrain
icon and the differential gear lock indicator
light will flash until the differential gear is
completely locked or unlocked. If the icon
and the indicator light continue to flash, the
differential is not completely locked or un-
locked. In this case, start moving slowly

EBU31402On–Command drive knob
“2WD/4WD/DIFF LOCK”Stop the vehicle and move the On–Command
drive knob to change the drive mode to two–
wheel drive, four–wheel drive, or four–wheel
drive with differential lock. Select the appro-
priate drive according to the terrain and driv-
ing conditions.
 “2WD” (two–wheel drive): Power is sup-
plied to the rear wheels only.
 “4WD” (four–wheel drive): Power is sup-
plied to the front and rear wheels.

EBU35061Selecting the drive modeThe vehicle handles differently in each of the drive modes: “2WD”, “4WD” and “DIFF LOCK”. For
example, the vehicle requires more effort to turn in “DIFF LOCK” than in “2WD”. Always stop the
vehicle before changing the position of th e On-Command drive knob. The drive mode icon
changes according to the selected drive mode. The drive mode icon and the “DIFF LOCK” indi-
cator light come on as follows:
Knob position Indication Drive mode
(none)
“2WD” (two-wheel drive): Drive power is supplied to the rear
wheels only.
“4WD” (four-wheel drive): Drive power is supplied to the
front and rear wheels.
“DIFF LOCK” (four-wheel drive with the differential gear
locked): Drive power is supplied to the front and rear wheels
and the differential gear is locked.
Unlike in four-wheel drive, all wheels turn at the same
speed.

TIPWhen the knob is set to “DIFF LOCK” or “4WD ”, the drive mode icon and the indicator light
will flash until the differential gear is completely locked or unlocked.
 Turning the steering wheel back and forth will help the differential gear lock to engage or dis-
engage.
 To protect the drivetrain from damage, vehicle speed is limited until the differential gear lock
has properly transitioned. UB5H7AE0.book Page 11 Wednesday, July 4, 2018 1:37 PM

Become familiar with the way the vehicle han-
dles in the various drive modes. Start off with
two-wheel drive “2WD”, then four-wheel drive
“4WD”, and finally four-wheel drive with the
differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Steering
may take more effort in four-wheel drive with
the differential locked “DIFF LOCK”. Also
practice driving in reverse.TIPTake the time to learn basic operation of the
vehicle before driving at higher speeds or at-
tempting more difficult maneuvers.
Getting ready to ride
Perform the pre-operation checks on page
5-1. Follow the instructions on page 6-2 when
starting the engine.
Turning
Use care in turns — tu rning the steering wheel
too far or too fast can result in loss of control
or a rollover. Slow down before entering
turns. When making tight turns from a stand-
still or at slow speeds, avoid sudden or hard
acceleration. Driving aggressively or making
abrupt maneuvers even on flat, open areas
can cause side rollovers. Avoid sideways slid-
ing, skidding, or fishtailing (rear-wheel slid-
ing), and never do donuts. If you feel the
vehicle begin to slide sideways or the rear
wheels begin to slide during a turn, steer into
the direction of the slide, if possible, and
gradually let off the accelerator pedal to re-
gain directional control and avoid rollover. For
example, if you feel the back of the vehicle
start to slide to your right, steer to the right.

over. Practice first on gentle slopes before at-
tempting steeper hills. Always check the
terrain carefully before attempting any hill.
To climb a hill, you need traction, momentum,
and steady throttle. For more traction and
control for climbing steeper and/or rougher
slopes, shift into low gear and select “4WD”
or “DIFF LOCK”. Travel fast enough to main-
tain momentum, but not so fast that you can-
not react to changes in the terrain as you
climb.
Slow down when you reach the crest of the
hill if you cannot see clearly what is on the
other side – there could be another person, an
obstacle, or a sharp drop-off.
If you start to lose traction or momentum
when climbing, and decide you will be unable
to continue, use the brakes to stop. Do not at-
tempt to turn the vehicle around. With your
foot on the brake pedal, look behind you and
plan your descent. Shift the transmission into
reverse so you can use engine braking to
slow your descent. Release the brake, andthen begin to coast down the hill. Use engine
braking as much as possible, gently applying
the brakes when necessary.
Downhill
Check the terrain carefully before going
downhill. When possible, choose a path that
lets you drive your vehicle straight downhill.
Choose your path carefully and drive slowly
enough to be able to react to obstacles that
you encounter.
For more traction and control, before going
down steeper and/or rougher slopes, shift
into low gear and select “4WD” or “DIFF
LOCK”. Engine braking will help you go
downhill slowly. Go as slowly as possible. If
you begin to go too fast, apply the brakes
gently. Avoid hard application of the brakes,
which could cause the vehicle to slide.UB5H7AE0.book Page 19 Wednesday, July 4, 2018 1:37 PM
