| note | Activating the parking brake slightly prevents the drive force transferring to the rear wheels

the parking brake activation, the drive force is transferred to the rear wheels by a friction
in the electronic control coupling. |

11.Depress the accelerator pedal gradually, and maintain the vehicle speed at approximately 10 km/h.
After the above checks are completed, if the rear wheel rotation satisfies the above conditions, it is judged that the electronic control coupling operates correctly. If the rear wheel rotation does not satisfy the above conditions, replace the electronic control coupling. (Refer to
