Any of the following conditions may result in an accident which could cause death or seri-
ous injury:
■ The Multi Terrain ABS does not operate effectively when
● The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded (such as excessively
worn tires on a snow covered road).
● The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on a wet or slick road.
■ Stopping distance when the Multi Terrain ABS is operating may exceed that of nor-
mal conditions
The Multi Terrain ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping distance.
Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, especially in the follow-
ing situations.
● When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
● When driving with tire chains
● When driving over bumps in the road
● When driving over roads with potholes or uneven roads
■ Active TRC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slippery road
surfaces, even if the Active TRC is operating.
Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost.
■ If the hill-start assist control does not operate effectively
Do not overly rely on the hill-start assist control. The hill-start assist control may not
operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered in ice.
■ When Active TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control are off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road conditions. As these
are systems to help to ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do not turn off Active
TRC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control unless necessary.
■ When the VSC and Trailer Sway Control are activated
The slip indicator light flashes. Always drive carefully.
Reckless driving may cause an accident. Exercise particular care when the indicator
light flashes.
