Guys, i just got myself a vellfire 4wd version.
But i don know how to get the 4wd working.

It only has the button(pic of 4 wheels with auto wording). Pressed and cluster show the same icon. But the "4wd" word never came out.

And i dont feel any difference. How do i turn it on constantly instead of auto matic.

Thx.

read around and if my understanding is correct, is it's not actually a physical 4wd system, it has electric motor on the rear that makes it like "4wd"

i remembered the google said something about "e-42d". But the rear has an axle and driveshaft. not sure about the motor location tho. cant find it that time.
salesman only told me its not Full time. it wont come on if you driving.
but when raining time on highway, it will be more stable.

*tapi, not full time, wont come on while driving, camne nak stable? salesman also tok kok sing song i think.

It is useful if you got stuck though

Dont you have the car manual?Or the manual is in japanese language?
If you have the car manual,refer to it or find online if have.
Normally those with buttons usually just push should work unless there is something wrong/there are other way.

Confirm 4wd or Awd ?, usually Awd fulltime, cannot disengage. But sometimes 4wd system are also fulltime, like my Landcruiser, Fulltime 4wd.

It's true though. It has become a clear pattern. So I want to know directly from owners.
Vehicle too high tech, so signal indicator must be cutting-edge also.

vicious cycle that started from the very first vellfire/alphard owner who realized that he/she is entitled to drive like retard.

people see vellfire/alphard owner drive like retard, then they think they entitled to drive like retard when they drive vellfire/alphard, so they buy vellfire/alphard to drive like retard, then people see vellfire/alphard owner drive like retard, then they think they entitled to drive like retard when they drive vellfire/alphard, so they buy vellfire/alphard to drive like retard, then people see vellfire/alphard owner drive like retard, then they think they entitled to drive like retard when they drive vellfire/alphard, so they buy vellfire/alphard to drive like retard, then people see vellfire/alphard owner drive like retard, then they think they entitled to drive like retard when they drive vellfire/alphard, so they buy vellfire/alphard to drive like retard.
