● 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

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.

4WD shift switch operations

● 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 mak-

ing a turn, you may feel a slight jolt
after the shift selector is shifted to N or
P. This occurs because the transfer
clutch is released and not because of a
malfunction.

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 en-
gine braking.

Do not operate the 4WD shift switch

with the rear wheels spinning.

Before placing the 4WD shift switch in

the 4H position from 2WD, ensure the
vehicle speed is less than 62 MPH (100
km/h). Failure to do so can damage the
4WD system.

Never shift the 4WD shift switch be-

tween 4LO and 4H while driving.
