6. Translation 6 Steering Column Shift lock
7. Translation 7   WARNING
This vehicle is FULL TIME 4WD with viscous coupled differentials.
Make sure you refer to the instruction manual before towing.

A/T OIL TEMP
This warning light comes on when the ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid)
becomes abnormally hot.  In such instance, stop the vehicle in a safe area
and let it idle with the automatic gear lever in 'P' position until the
warning light goes out.
- For details, refer to the instruction manual-


Well, actually this is quite an important point on which you might like to advise visitors to your site.  Under no circumstance that the FULL TIME 4WD (permanent 4WD) vehicle to be towed with only two wheel off the road.  The reason behind this is that there is a part of the powertrain which splits the power to front and rear wheels (differential) and when only two wheels are raise and other two are left to coast on the road whilst towing, this can heat and seize the mechanism.
Thus when towing, make sure all 4 wheels are on the road and keep the speed really slow but preferably,  it is best to have a big transporter which is capable of carrying the vehicle with all 4 wheels off the road.
