STARTING AND DRIVING (g) Driving in "2nd STRT" (second start) mode FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM (a) Four-wheel drive control 31X012c 31X013e In the "2nd STRT" (second start) mode, the transmission system shifts up from second gear. Use this mode when starting your vehicle in sand, mud, ice or snow. To set the "2nd STRT" mode, push the "2nd" switch. In the "2nd STRT" mode, the "2nd STRT" indicator light comes on. To cancel the "2nd STRT" mode, push the "2nd" switch again. The "PWR" mode is automatically cancelled when you push the "2nd" switch. Use the four-wheel drive control lever and center differential lock button to select the following transfer and center differential modes. The "H" and "L" position of the four-wheel drive control lever provides either lock or unlock mode of the center differential depending on the center differential lock button position. Use the center differential lock system if your wheels get stuck in a ditch, or when you are driving on a slippery or bumpy surface. When the center differential is locked, the vehicle stability control system is automatically turned off and the center differential lock and "VSC OFF" indicator lights come on because the function that controls engine performance interferes with the process of freeing your wheels. (h) If you cannot shift the selector lever If you cannot shift the selector lever from "P" position even though the brake pedal is depressed, use the shift lock override button. For instructions, see "If you cannot shift automatic transmission selector lever" on page 339. 258
