CAUTION
“4LLc”range gives maximum torque
at low-speed driving on steep slopes,
sandy, muddy, and other difficult sur-
faces. For vehicles with automatic
transmission, do not exceed speeds
of approximately 70 km/h (43 mph) in
“4LLc”range. On 3500 models with
automatic transmission, at speeds
over approximately 70 km/h (43 mph),
a speed limiting device will be acti-
vated to protect the transmission.

NOTE
Petrol-powered vehicles have the octane

you can use unleaded normal petrol 91
RON as emergent measure in case
unleaded premium petrol 95 RON or higher
is not available on journey, etc. In such a
case, you don’t need to adjust the engine
specially.
In case of using unleaded normal petrol 91
RON, the engine performance will suffer a
little degradation.

CAUTION
(1) Do not force the vehicle or drive
recklessly on sandy surfaces. In
comparison with normal road
surfaces, the engine and other
drive-system components are
put under excessive strain when
driving on such a surface, and
this could lead to accidents.
(2) If any of following conditions
occur while the vehicle is being
driven, immediately park your
vehicle in a safe place and fol-
low these procedures:
•The needle in the tempera-
ture gauge approaches the
overheating zone.
Refer to the“Engine
overheating”on page 8-21.
•A/T fluid temperature warning
lamp illuminates.
Refer to the“A/T fluid tempera-
ture warning lamp”on page
4-11.
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
or backward, causing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.
NOTE
(1) Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, and
turning; such operations could result in
the vehicle becoming stuck.
(2) If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy
or muddy roads, it can often be moved
a rocking motion. Move the selector
lever rhythmically between the“D”
(DRIVE) and“R”(REVERSE) posi-
tion (with manual transmission,
between 1st and Reverse), while apply-
ing slight pressure to the accelerator
pedal.
(3) It is recommended to start the vehicle
with parking brake partially, but not
completely, applied by slightly pulling
the parking brake lever.
After the vehicle has become free, do
not forget to release the parking brake.NOTE
(4) If it is necessary to drive in extremely
muddy conditions, the use of tyre
chains is recommended. Because the
extent of muddy conditions is difficult to
judge and the vehicle could become
bogged down very deeply, operation
should be at a low speed. If possible,
get out of the vehicle and check the
conditions ahead before proceeding.
(5) Driving over roads in coastal areas or
roads on which anti-skid preparations
have been spread can cause rust on
the vehicle; wash the vehicle thor-
oughly as soon as possible after such
use.
Climbing sharp gradesSet the transfer shift lever to“4L”(part time
4WD) or“4LLc”(super select 4WD II) to
maximize the engine torque.
WARNING
(1) Go straight up. Do not try to
traverse across a steep slope.
(2) If you begin to lose traction, ease
off the accelerator pedal and
gently turn the steering wheel
alternatively left and right to
regain adequate traction again.

Cautions on handling of 4WD
vehicles
EI49A-Xa
Tyre and disc wheelsSince the driving torque can be applied to
the 4 wheels, the performance of the
vehicle when operating in 4WD is greatly
affected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
•Install specified tyres on all wheels. Refer
to“Tyre and wheels”on page 10-10.
•Be sure to equip the car with all four tyres
and wheels of the same size and type.
When replacement of any of the tyres or
wheels is necessary, replace all of them.
•All tyres should be rotated whenever the
wear difference between front and rear
tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be
expected if there is a difference in wear
between tyres. Refer to the“Tyre rotation”
on page 9-15.
•Check the tyre inflation pressure regu-
larly.
CAUTION
Always use tyres of the same size,
same type, and same brand, which
have no wear differences.
Using the tyres of differ in size, type,
brand or a different degree of wear
will cause excessive loading, result-
ing in possible damage to the drive
system.Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicles
WARNING
Do not crank the engine while jack-
ing up the vehicle.
The tyre on the ground may turn and
the vehicle may roll off the jack.Operate clutch pedal slowly and
positivelyQuick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed
will cause damage to the clutch and trans-
mission because the tractive force is very
great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively.

Parking brake
EI07AAEd
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,
and then move the gearshift lever to 1st (on
an uphill) or Reverse (on a downhill) posi-
tion, for vehicles with a manual transmis-
sion or set the selector lever to“P”(PARK)
position on automatic transmission
vehicles.To apply1- Pull the lever up without pushing the
button at the end of the hand grip.

Rear(3) The ABS becomes operative after the
vehicle has accelerated to a speed in
excess of approximately 10 km/h (6
mph). It stops operating when the
vehicle decelerates to a speed below
approximately 5 km/h (3 mph).
Limited-slip differential*
EC17A-Ha
A limited-slip differential is applied for the
rear wheel differential only. The features of
this limited-slip differential are described
below:
Just as with a conventional differential, the
wheel on one side is allowed to turn at a
different speed from the wheel on the other
side when the vehicle is cornering. The dif-
ference between the limited-slip differen-
tial and a conventional differential is that if
the wheel on one side of the vehicle loses
traction, a greater amount of torque is
applied to the rear wheel on the other side
to improve traction.
NOTE
Even if there is a difference in the amount
of traction the wheels can get, if both of
them are spinning, the limited-slip differ-
ential will not be effective.
CAUTION
(1) Never start the engine while one
of the rear wheels is jacked up
and the other in contact with the
ground; doing so may cause the
vehicle to jump forward.
(2) When attempting to extract the
vehicle from snow, mud, etc.,
and the engine is run continu-
ously at high speed, the
limited-slip differential will be
adversely affected.

Type 2On the aluminium wheel type vehicle (Type
2), temporarily tighten the wheel nuts by
hand until the flanges of the wheel nuts
come into contact with the wheel.
NOTE
(1) Flange nuts (Type 2) can be tempo-
rarily used on the steel wheel, but
return to the original wheel and tyre as
soon as possible.
(2) If all four wheels on vehicles with flange
nuts (Type 2) are changed to steel
wheels, use tapered nuts (Type 1).
CAUTION
Never apply oil to either wheel bolts
or nuts, as it will cause them to over-
tighten.
N24A286A
9. Lower the vehicle slowly and then
tighten the nuts crisscross in two or
three steps until each nut has been
tightened securely.
Tightening torque:
98 to 118 Nm
(Achieved by applying a force of 370 to
430 N at the end of the wheel nut
wrench supplied with the vehicle)
CAUTION
Never use extra force by your foot to
the wheel nut wrench or by using a
pipe extension as you can over-
tighten the nut.
10. Lower and remove the jack and stow
the jack, jack handle, wheel nut wrench
and flat tyre wheel. Have the flat tyre
repaired as soon as possible.
N24A100A
11. Check tyre inflation pressure. The infla-
tion pressure specification is shown on
the label. Refer to the illustration.
