56 GENERAL INFORMATION This vehicle is equipped with a dual-mode differential for the front wheel. The differential shift lever is located next to the gear shift lever, to the right of the driver's seat. When one front wheel loses traction, the differential can slip reducing the pulling power of the other front wheel. By shifting the differential shift lever to the Locked-Axle Mode, you can equalize driving force to both front wheel. This is useful when the vehicle is stuck or having difficulty overcoming an obstacle. The Lock-Axle Mode is effective only when "4WD" is engaged. When you want to increase traction, move the shift lever all the way rearward. Move it back to the Differential Mode (Unlocked- Axle ) when you no longer need the aforementioned equalizing. j Selectable 2WD/4WD Shift Switch You can select "2WD" or "4WD" to suit various driving conditions. The shift switch is located on the dashboard. To shift, first stop the vehicle completely then press the electrically selectable 2WD/4WD shift switch up or down. 4WD indicator light goes on when "4WD" is selected. When in "2WD", this light is off. Refer to the "2WD/4WD Shifting" section in the "HOW TO OPERATE" chapter. WARNING The handling characteristics of this vehicle differs between "2WD" and "4WD" according to driving condition. Changing operating mode while moving can cause sudden changes in handling performance which can cause the operator to lose control and have an accident. Always stop the vehicle before changing from "2WD" to "4WD" and vice versa. WARNING Shifting to Locked-Axle Mode while turning or before entering a turn can reduce steering response, increasing the effort to turn. An unexpected change in direction can cause the operator to lose control, resulting in an accident and injury. Do not shift to Locked-Axle Mode while turning or before entering a turn. NOTICE Shifting from "2WD" to "4WD" ( or "4WD" to "2WD") when the vehicle is in motion could cause front drive train damage.
