2-4. Using other driving systems

After unlocking the rear differential

To check that the indicator goes off, turn the engine switch to the ON posi-
tion, but do not start the engine.

CAUTION

To avoid an accident

Do not use the rear differential lock system except when wheel spinning
occurs in a ditch or on a slippery or ragged surface. Large steering effort
and careful cornering control will be required.

Do not lock the rear differential until the wheels have stopped spinning.
Otherwise, the vehicle may move in an unexpected direction when the dif-
ferential lock is engaged, resulting in an accident. This may also lead to
possible damage to differential lock component parts.

Do not drive over 5 mph (8 km/h) when the differential is locked.

Do not keep driving with the RR DIFF LOCK switch on.
