Vehicle driving controls
CAUTION
Always drive slowly in water. If you drive too fast, water may get into the motor com
partment, causing your vehicle to suddenly stop.
NOTE
• Do not drive in water if the level is higher than the bottom of the vehicle.
• Check your brake condition once you are out of mud or water. Depress the brake
pedal several times as you move slowly until you feel normal braking return.
• Shorten your scheduled maintenance interval if you drive in offroad conditions such
as sand, mud or water (refer to "Maintenance schedule" on page 769 .)
• Make sure that AWD vehicle is towed by a flatbed tow truck.
• AWD vehicles could change the engagement status of the motor according to the
situation required. Auto changing the driving mode (2WD/AWD) helps improve en
ergy economy and driving stability.
• When the vehicle is stuck in snow, sand or mud, place a non-slip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction OR slowly spin the wheels in forward and reverse
directions which causes a rocking motion that may free the vehicle.
• When putting the tyre chains to the tyre, be sure to attach the chain to the two rear
wheels. In this case, drive below 30 km/h (20 mph) and minimise the driving dis
tance. High-speed or long-term driving with putting the tyre chains may cause mal
function or damage to the four-wheel drive.
• If tyre chains must be used, use fabric snow chain and install the tyre chain after re
viewing the instructions provided with the tyre chains.
Active Sound Design (if equipped)
Active Sound Design is a feature that makes virtual engine sounds when you press
the accelerator pedal for driving pleasure. You can adjust the volume and change the
settings for acceleration pedal response and sound style.
Operation
• Select Settings > Vehicle > Active sound design in the infotainment system screen.
• Any unauthorised replacement of the vehicle’s speaker and amplifier may cause Ac
tive Sound Design to malfunction.
NOTE
The infotainment system may change after software updates. For more information,
refer to the web manual provided in the infotainment system and the quick reference
guide.
