S When towing a trailer, in order to maintain engine braking efficiency, do not use the fifth gear. ! CAUTION Be careful when downshifting on a slippery surface. Abrupt shifting could cause the vehicle to spin or skid. The four- wheel drive control lever selects one of the transfer modes below by the position. The "4WD" indicator light shows when the four- wheel drive control lever is in the "H4", "N" or "L4" position. "H2" (high speed position, two- wheel drive): Lever at "H2" Use this for normal driving on dry hard- surfaced roads. This position gives greater economy, quietest ride and least wear. "H4" (high speed position, four- wheel drive): Lever at "H4" Use this for normal driving on wet, icy or snow- covered roads. This position provides greater traction than two- wheel drive. NOTICE Make sure the vehicle is completely stopped before shifting into reverse. NOTICE Do not downshift if you are going faster than the maximum allowable speed for the next lower gear. 69
