Four Wheel Drive (4WD) selection

Be sure to maintain Auto 4WD mode when driving on normal roads. If you drive with the 4WD Lock mode on normal roads or curved roads, it may damage 4WD parts and cause vibration and noise. However, vibration and noise are normal conditions that will disappear when Auto 4WD mode is selected. Also, when the vehicle is changed from 4WD Lock to Auto 4WD, a sensation may be felt as driving power is delivered to the rear wheels.
