Driving your vehicle Drive mode integrated control system
Traction mode operation
Traction mode offers special traction
tuning for snow/mud/sand, optimizing
available traction in adverse conditions.
Traction mode adjusts left and right
wheel slip control, engine torque and
shift patterns according to available
traction levels.
Driving in sand or mud
僅 Maintain slow and constant speed.
Operate the accelerator pedal slowly
to ensure safe driving (wheel-slip pre
-
vention).
僅 Use tyre chains driving in mud if nec
-
essary.
僅 Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
僅 Reduce vehicle speed and always
check the road condition.
僅 Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.
僅 Moving the car forcibly to get out of
mud or sand can cause damage/over
-
heat of the engine or damage/break
-
down of the transmission as well as
damage to tyres. If excessive wheel
slip occurs after entering a sandy/
muddy road, the vehicle may fall into
the sand/mud. When it happens, put a
stone or a tree branch under the tyre,
and then try to pull out the car, or try
to get it unstuck by repeatedly mov
-
ing forwards and backwards.
僅 When the vehicle is stuck in snow,
sand or mud, the tyres may not oper
-
ate. This is to protect the transmission
and not a malfunction.
Transmission overheated
A:
Trans cooling Park for 00 min.
A:
Trans cooled. Resume Driving
僅 When driving on muddy and sandy
roads under the severe condition, the
transmission could be overheated.
僅 When the transmission is overheated,
the safe protection mode engages
and the "Transmission Hot! Park with
engine On" warning message will
appear on the LCD display with a
chime.
僅 If this occurs, pull over to a safe loca
-
tion, stop the vehicle with the engine
running, apply the brakes and shift
the vehicle to P (Park), and allow the
transmission to cool.
僅 If you ignore this warning, the driving
condition may become worse. You
may experience abrupt shifts, fre
-
quent shifts, or jerkiness. To return to
the normal driving condition, stop the
vehicle and apply the foot brake or
shift into P (Park). Then allow the
transmission to cool for a few minutes
with engine on, before driving off.
僅 When the message "Transmission
cooled. Resume driving" appears you
can continue to drive your vehicle.
