50 GENERAL INFORMATION The current operating condition is indicated with the 2WD/4WD indicator symbols and differential gear lock indicator light. After shifting, there is a time lag before the indicator symbols or indicator light change. Refer to the "Multifunction Meter" section in the "GENERAL INFORMATION" chapter, together with the "2WD/4WD/Differential Shifting" section in the "HOW TO OPERATE" chapter. the "DIFF-LOCK" position (Locked-Axle Mode), you can equalize driving force to both front wheels. This is useful when the vehicle is stuck or having difficulty overcoming an obstacle. The Locked-Axle Mode is only effective while in "4WD." Move it back to the Unlocked-Axle Mode when you no longer need the aforementioned equalizing. j 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. When one front wheel loses traction, the differential can slip reducing the pulling power of the other front wheel. By turning the selectable 2WD/4WD/DIFF-LOCK shift switch to

GENERAL INFORMATION
j
The current operating condition is indicated with
the 2WD/4WD indicator symbols and differential
gear lock indicator light.
After shifting, there is a
time lag before the indicator symbols or indicator
light change.
Refer to the “Multifunction Meter”
section in the “GENERAL INFORMATION” chapter,
together with the “2WD/4WD/Differential Shifting”
section in the “HOW TO OPERATE” chapter.
WARNING
The handling characteristics of this vehicle
differs between “2WD” and “4WD” accord-
ing to driving condition.
Changing operat-
ing 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.
NOTICE
Shifting from “2WD” to “4WD” ( or “4WD” to
“2WD”) when the vehicle is in motion could
cause front drive train damage.
When one front wheel loses traction, the dif-
ferential
can
slip
reducing
the
pulling
power
of the other front wheel.
By turning the se-
lectable
2WD/4WD/DIFF-LOCK
shift
switch
to
the “DIFF-LOCK” position (Locked-Axle Mode), you
can equalize driving force to both front wheels. This
is useful when the vehicle is stuck or having difficulty
overcoming an obstacle. The Locked-Axle Mode is
only effective while in “4WD.”
Move it back to the Unlocked-Axle Mode when you
no longer need the aforementioned equalizing.
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.
