Turning sharp corners
When turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” position at low
speed, a slight difference in steering may be experienced simi-
lar to feeling as if the brakes were applied. This is called tight
corner braking and results from each of the four tyres being at a
different distance from the corner. The phenomenon is typical
of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out
the steering wheel, or change to “2WD” or “4WD AUTO”
mode.
On snowy or icy roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO” or “4WD
LOCK” in accordance with the road conditions, and then grad-
ually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
OTE
● The use of snow tyres is recommended.
● Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden
braking, and use engine braking (downshifting).
CAUTION
!
● Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and
sharp turning. Skidding occurs and control of the
vehicle could be lost.
