NOTE
• On a muddy road with an automatic transmission model, by depressing the
brake pedal you can make a standing start in the manual mode 2nd gear and
move the selector lever to the "+" (upshift) position. This provides better traction
and safer vehicle operation.
• When you want to free the vehicle from mud where the tires may slip slightly by
increasing the engine speed, you can press the ESC OFF switch to disable just
the traction control system (TCS).
• For models that are equipped with differential locks, use the differential lock
when you want to free the vehicle from mud.
