4-wheel drive operation
E00606600483
Your vehicle has been designed primarily for use on pavement.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows you to occasionally
travel on unpaved roads, to campgrounds, picnic sites, and sim-
ilar locations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on dry, paved roads
but also permits better traction when driving on slippery, wet or
snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or towing in rough
conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-wheel drive may not
give sufficient hill climbing ability and engine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving on sand and mud
and when driving through water because sufficient traction
may not be available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through areas where the tyres
may get stuck in deep sand or mud.
CAUTION
!
● Always use tyres of the same size, type, and brand
that have no wear differences. Using tyres that differ
in size, type, brand, or wear amount may activate
the protection of the drive-system components, caus-
ing the drive mode in “4WD AUTO” mode to lock or
the “4WD” and “LOCK” indicators to blink alter-
nately.
