Operate the transfer fever while driving at low speed if it may be difficult to shift the transfer fever from "2H" position to "4H" position when the vehicle is stopped.
Shift the transfer fever again after decelerating or stopping the vehicle if it may be difficult to shift the transfer fever from "2H" position to "4H" position while driving or when the gear noise occurs. There may be a case to operate the transfer fever heavily when shifting the transfer lever from "4H" position to "2H" P_Osition while driving. In this case, position the front wheels straight ahead and drive for a while and then operate shifting the transfer fever again. When the transfer lever is shifted from 2H" position to "4H" position or from "4H" position to 2H" position and the air locking hubs are activated, the air conditioning system may not be operated for several seconds.

Dual sensor brake support
Dual sensor brake support is a system that detects a vehicle or a pedestrian in front of your vehicle by the dual sensor, attempts to avoid a collision by giving warning to the driver, and attempts to reduce damage in the event of a collision.
A WARNING
• Dual sensor brake support has limits and may not function properly depending on the driving conditions. Do not rely excessively on the system and always drive in a safe manner. For safety reasons, do not check the operation of the system by yourself. Check that all passengers fasten their seat belts when the vehicle is being operated. When the system is activated, there is a risk of serious injury from being thrown.
NOTE: While the system is working, if a vehicle in front of you moves outside the dual sensor's detection field or the vehicle can no longer be detected, the system may stop functioning. While the system is working, a braking sound may be heard even if you do not depress the brake pedal, but this is normal. • As the function of the dual sensor brake support is different depending on some destinations or areas, there are type of vehicles with the function not to detect the pedestrians.
