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 similar
locations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion 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 tires may get stuck in deep sand or
mud.
Display example
Yaw control function display
The amount of the yaw moment is displayed
as a bar graph.
A, D- Clockwise yaw moment about the
vehicle’s center of gravity
B, C- Counterclockwise yaw moment
about the vehicle’s center of gravity
Differential limiting function display
The strength of the differential limiting
operation (between front-rear wheels and
between left-right wheels) is displayed in
section E of the meter as a bar graph.
Always concentrate on your driving first.
Keep your eyes and mind on the road. Dis-
tractions while driving can lead to an acci-
dent.
When the ECO mode switch is
ON
If the drive mode is switched in any mode
after the drive mode is switched in “AWC
ECO”, the drive mode will not be changed
even if the ECO mode switch is switched
OFF.
