When the vehicle is stuck, ● Set the 4WD shift switch to 4H or 4LO. ● Use the Electronic Locking Rear Differential (E-Lock) system (if so equipped). Turn the switch ON while the vehicle is stationary and apply the throttle to try to free the vehicle. ● If it is difficult to free the vehicle, rock the vehicle back and forth between reverse and drive gears. ● If the vehicle is stuck deep in mud, place stones or wooden blocks under the tires. Then try the recovery procedures above. Tire chains may be effective. CAUTION ● When driving straight, shift the 4WD shift switch to the 2WD or 4H position. Do not move the 4WD shift switch when making a turn or reversing. ● Do not shift the 4WD shift switch while driving on steep downhill grades. Use the engine brake and low automatic transmission gears (D1 or D2) for engine braking. ● Do not operate the 4WD shift switch with the rear wheels spinning. WSD0102 CAUTION ● Do not spin the tires excessively. Tires will sink deep into the mud, making it difficult to free the vehicle. ● Avoid shifting gears with the engine running at high speeds as this may cause malfunction. ● Shift the 4WD shift switch to either the 2WD, 4H or 4LO position, depending on driving conditions. ● If the 4WD shift switch is operated while making a turn, accelerating or decelerating or if the key switch is turned off while in the 4H or 4LO, you may feel a jolt. This is not abnormal. ● When the vehicle is stopped after making a turn, you may feel a slight jolt after the selector lever is shifted to N or P. This occurs because the transfer clutch is released and not because of a malfunction. ● Before placing the 4WD shift switch in the 4H position from 2WD, ensure the vehicle speed is less than 62.5 MPH (100 km/h). Failure to do so can damage the 4WD system. ● Never shift the 4WD shift switch between 4LO and 4H while driving. 4WD shift indicator light 4WD shift switch operations Starting and driving 5-23
