■ Operation conditions of the Crawl
Control
● The engine is running.
● The shift lever is in any gear other than P
or N.
● The four-wheel drive control switch is in
L4.
● The driver’s door is closed.
■ Automatic system cancelation of Crawl
Control
In the following situations, the buzzer will
sound intermittently and Crawl Control will
be canceled automatically. In this event, the
Crawl Control indicator will flash and then
go off, and a message stating that Crawl
Control has been turned off will be dis-
played on the multi-information display for
several seconds.
● When the shift lever is moved to P or N.
● When the four-wheel drive control
switch is in H4.
● When the driver’s door is opened.
■ Function limitations of Crawl Control
● In the following situations, brake control
can be used to drive downhill at a con-
stant speed. However, engine control is
not available when driving uphill at a con-
stant speed.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 6 mph (10 km/h).
● In the following situation, engine control
and brake control will stop temporarily. In
this event, the Crawl Control indicator
will flash.
• With the rear differential is locked: when
the vehicle speed exceeds approximately
6 mph (10 km/h).
• With the rear differential is unlocked:
When the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).
■ When the Crawl Control system is
operated continuously
● If Crawl Control is used continuously for
a long time, the brake system may over-
heat. In this case, a buzzer will sound, a
message stating a malfunction will be dis-
played on the multi-information display,
and the Crawl Control indicator will flash
and then go off. In this event, as Crawl
Control will be temporarily inoperable,
stop the vehicle immediately in a safe
place, and allow the brake system to cool
down sufficiently until the message goes
off. (In the meantime, normal driving is
possible.)
● If Crawl Control is used continuously for
a long time, the automatic transmission
may overheat. In this case, a buzzer will
sound, the system will be temporarily
canceled, and a message stating a mal-
function may be displayed on the multi-
information display. In this event, stop the
vehicle in a safe place until the message
goes off.
