OTE
● Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and sharp
turning; such operations could result in the vehicle
becoming stuck.
● If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or muddy roads, it
can often be moved with a rocking motion. Move the
gearshift lever alternately between the 1st and “R”
(Reverse) positions (M/T), the “D” (DRIVE) and “R”
(REVERSE) positions (CVT), while pressing lightly on
the accelerator pedal.
● Driving on rough road can cause rust on the vehicle; wash
the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possible after such use.
Climbing/descending sharp grades
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill climbing ability
and engine braking on steep slope. Avoid driving on steep
slopes even though the vehicle is an 4-wheel drive vehicle.
● If any of the following conditions occur while the
vehicle is being driven, immediately park your vehi-
cle in a safe place and follow these procedures:
• If the engine coolant temperature display
flashes on the information screen in the multi-
information display or the engine power drops
suddenly.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-5.
• If the “ ” warning display and “SLOW DOWN”
or the “ ” warning display and “SERVICE
REQUIRED” appear on the information screen in
the multi-information display.
Refer to “Warning display” on page 3-78.
WARNING
!
● When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck
position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is
clear of people and physical objects. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch
forward/backward, causing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.
