1. OVERVIEW

By using the planetary gear sets, two-gears shift type part time transfer case achieves direct

connection when selecting 4WD "HIGH" and 2.48 of reduction gear ratio when selecting 4WD

"LOW". The silent chain in transfer case transfers the output power to front wheels.

The simple operation of switches on instrument panel allows to shift between "2H" and "4H" easily

while driving (for 4L: stop vehicle first). The warning lamp warns the driver when the system is

defective.
