• Never operate your vehicle in "4H" or "4L" on dry pavement and, as much as possible, avoid using "4H" or "4L" on wet
pavement, as this may seriously damage the drive train.
• If the transfer lever is returned to the original position while shifting the transfer lever, the drive train may be damaged.
• When you turn suddenly on a sharp curve, a side road, or a parking space in "4H" or "4L" position, the turning strength of
the steering wheel will be growing big and tight corner braking phenomenon* may occur and result in accidents. 4-wheel
drive system damage could also result.
* Tight corner braking phenomenon is the similar situation to depress the brake when the drive train is in 4-wheel drive position ("4H" or
"4L") and the steering wheel is turned suddenly and then the revolution difference between the front wheels and the rear wheels could
not absorb.
