This full-time 4WD vehicle can not be converted to 2WD manually. Observe the following caution in servicing.
Otherwise, front wheels drive rear wheels or vise-versa and vehicle accidents, drivetrain damage and personal injury may result.

- Never perform any of the following types of service work.
[A]:
Testing with 2-wheel chassis dynamometer or speedometer tester (which tester roller is driven by vehicle wheels).
[B]:
Driving front or rear wheels, which are jacked up.
[C]:
Towing under the condition where either front or rear wheels can not rotate.

- When testing with 2-wheel brake tester, be sure to observe the following instructions. Otherwise, drive train damage and personal injury may result.
- Shift transmission to N (Neutral) position.
- Shift transfer to N (Neutral) position if transfer position is selectable.
- Run engine at specified idle speed.
- Rotate wheels (tires) by brake tester at vehicle speed below 5 km/h (3 mile/h).
- Do not rotate wheels (tires) for 1 min. or more.
- When testing with 2-wheel speedometer tester (which wheels are driven by tester), be sure to observe the following instructions. Otherwise, drivetrain damage and personal injury may result.
- Set rear wheels on tester roller and front wheels on free roller.
- Shift transmission to N (Neutral) position.
- Shift transfer to N (Neutral) position if transfer position is selectable.
- Rotate wheels (tires) by tester at vehicle speed below 60 km/h (37 mile/h).
- Do not rotate wheels (tires) for 1 min. or more.
- Ensure that vehicle does not move using wire ropes or chains.
- When testing with 2-wheel chassis dynamometer, be sure to make the vehicle as rear wheel drive by removing front propeller shaft or as front wheel drive by removing rear propeller shaft, referring to Transfer WARNING: Motor-Shift Type (Transfer with Shift Actuator) or Transfer WARNING:Non-Shift Type (Transfer without Shift Actuator).
Note that speedometer of vehicle does not display vehicle speed because rear wheel speed sensor signal is not output if rear propeller shaft is removed.

- When testing with 4-wheel free chassis dynamometer or speedometer tester (which tester roller is driven by vehicle wheels), be sure to shift transfer to 4HLock position according to the step 4) in Transfer WARNING: Motor-Shift Type (Transfer with Shift Actuator).

- When using On-vehicle type wheel balancing equipment (1), be sure to jack up all four wheels, off the ground completely and support vehicle with safety stands (2).
Be careful of the other wheels, which will rotate at the same time.
