4-5. Using the driving support systems
Driving
O The four-wheel drive control switch is in
L4.
O The driver’s door is closed.
Q 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, the Turn Assist indicator will go off (if
the Turn Assist function is in use), and a
message stating that Crawl Control has
been turned off will be displayed on the
multi-information display for several sec-
onds.
O When the shift lever is moved to P or N.
O When the four-wheel drive control
switch is in H4.
O When the driver’s door is opened.
Q Function limitations of Crawl Control
O 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 10 km/h (6 mph).
O In the following situation, engine control
and brake control will stop temporarily. In
this event, the Crawl Control indicator
will flash.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds
approximately 25 km/h (15 mph).
Q When the Crawl Control system is
operated continuously
O 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.)
O 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.
Q Sounds and vibrations caused by the
Crawl Control system
O A sound may be heard from the engine
compartment when the engine is started
or just after the vehicle begins to move.
This sound does not indicate that a mal-
function has occurred in Crawl Control
system.
O Either of the following conditions may
occur when the Crawl Control system is
operating. None of these are indicators
that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehi-
cle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the
vehicle comes to a stop.
Q When there is a malfunction in the sys-
tem
Warning lights and/or warning messages
will turn on. (oP.587, 592)
This function assists cornering perfor-
mance in accordance with steering

according to the driver’s steering
wheel operation, to reduce the number
of turns.
