I have an "F.D" knob which engages my front wheels. My glove box sticker (see below), as translated by mot (thanks mot), says:
"How to use the transfer
1. Under normal driving condition, keep it in the "H" position.
2. In a rough terrain, sand, or snow, engage the front drive.
The switch knob, "F.D" should be used at low speed, while going straight.
3. When towing something especially heavy put the transfer lever
in the "L" position. The front drive automatically engages.
4. On vehicles with free-wheel hubs be sure to operate "2" and "3" while in the "lock" position."
Because I'm an idiot and don't understand basic mechanical concepts, I still don't quite get it. What added benefit do I get with the "F.D" knob that others without it don't?
Help, I'm stupid.
