■ Advice for driving on slippery roads
● If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to L4 and the shift lever to the 2 range of
S or D (vehicles with paddle shift switches) while driving in steep off-road areas, the
output of the brake can be controlled effectively by the Active TRAC, which assists the
driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels.
● Use the 1 range of S or D (vehicles with paddle shift switches) for maximum power and
traction when your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline.
