w/ Rear Differential Lock:


Check the rear differential lock indicator light.

Start the engine.

Stop the vehicle.

for Automatic Transmission: Move the shift lever to N.


for Manual Transmission: Depress the clutch pedal.

Turn the transfer position switch from H4 to L4.

  • HINT:
  • The rear differential can be locked only when the following conditions are met: 1) The transfer is in low, and 2) the center differential is locked. As vehicles with a rear differential lock do not have a vehicle stability control system, these conditions will be satisfied after the transfer position switch is turned to L4, the transfer shifts to low, and the center differential locks.

Turn the differential lock switch from OFF to RR.

  • NOTICE:
  • When locking the rear differential, make sure that the vehicle speed is less than 8 km/h (5 mph).
