CAUTION D Do not lock the differentials until the wheels have stopped spinning. Otherwise, the vehicle may move in an unexpected direction when the differential locks are engaged, resulting in an accident. This may also lead to possible damage to differential lock component parts. The differential will also unlock if you shift the four-wheel drive control lever to "H". Never forget to turn of the switch after using this feature. To check the indicator bulb, turn the ignition key to the "ON" position, but do not start the engine. CAUTION Do not keep driving with the differential lock switch on. D Do not drive over 8 km/h (5 mph) when the differentials are locked. To lock the rear differential, push and turn the switch clockwise until it clicks. Be sure to stop the wheels before locking the differentials. For easy locking, turn the lock switch and gently depress the accelerator pedal. The indicator light will blink when the switch is turned on. Wait a few seconds for the system to complete operation. After the differential is locked, the light will stop blinking and remain on. The anti-lock brake system does not operate when the rear differential is locked. It is normal operation for the "ABS" warning light to be on at this time. To unlock the differentials, turn the switch fully counterclockwise. Unlock the differentials as soon as the vehicle moves out. For easy unlocking, slightly turn the steering wheel in either direction while the vehicle is in motion. When each of the differential locks is disengaged, the indicator light will go out. 108
