4WD shift tips
● If the 4WD mode switch is operated while
making a turn, accelerating or decelerating,
or if the ignition switch is turned off while in
the AUTO or LOCK mode, you may feel a
jolt. This is normal.
● The oil temperature of power train parts will
increase if the vehicle is continuously oper-
ated under conditions where the difference
between the front and rear wheels is large
(wheel slip), such as when driving the ve-
hicle on rough roads through sand or mud or
when freeing a stuck vehicle. In these cases,
the 4WD warning light blinks rapidly and the
4WD mode changes to the 2WD mode to
protect the power train parts. If you stop
driving with the engine idling and wait until
the warning light stops blinking, the 4WD
returns to the AUTO mode.
● Brake distance in the 4WD mode is the
same as 2WD.
