4WD shift switch
► Shift the 4WD shift switch to either the
AUTO, 4H or 4L position, depending on
driving conditions.
► With the switch set to the AUTO position,
distribution of torque to the front
and rear wheels changes automatically,
depending on road conditions encountered
[ratio; 0 : 100 (2WD) ? 50 : 50
(4WD)]. This results in improved driving
stability.
► If the 4WD shift switch is operated
while making a turn, accelerating or
decelerating or if the ignition switch is
placed in the OFF position while in the
AUTO, 4H or 4L, you may feel a jolt.
This is not abnormal.
► When the vehicle is stopped after
making a turn, you may feel a slight
jolt after the selector lever is shifted to
N (Neutral) or P (Park) position. This
occurs because the transfer clutch is
released and not because of a malfunction.
CAUTION
► When driving straight, shift the 4WD
shift switch to the AUTO or 4H position.
Do not move the 4WD shift switch when
making a turn or reversing.
► Do not shift the 4WD shift switch while
driving on steep downhill grades. Use
the engine brake and low automatic
transmission gears for engine braking.
► Do not operate the 4WD shift switch with
the rear wheels spinning.
► Before placing the 4WD shift switch in
the 4H position from AUTO, ensure the
vehicle speed is less than 62 MPH (100
km/h). Failure to do so can damage the
4WD system.
► Never shift the 4WD shift switch between
4L and 4H while driving.
► Engine idling speed is high while warming
up the engine. Be especially careful
when starting or driving on slippery
surfaces with the 4WD shift switch in
AUTO.
