Maximum allowable speeds
To get on a highway or to pass slower
traffic, maximum acceleration may be nec-
essary. Make sure you observe the follow-
ing maximum allowable speeds in each
gear:gear km/h (mph) “H” or “HL” “LL”
1 48 (30) 18 (11)
2 93 (58) 35 (22)
3 138 (86) 53 (33)
4 172 (107) 66 (41)
5 175 (109) 80 (50)
NOTICE
Do not downshift if you are going
faster than the maximum allowable
speed for the next lower gear.
Good driving practice
If it is difficult to shift into reverse, put
the transmission in neutral, release the
clutch pedal momentarily, and then try
again.
When towing a trailer, in order to main-
tain engine braking efficiency, do not
use sixth gear.
CAUTION
Be careful when downshifting on a
slippery surface. Abrupt shifting
could cause the vehicle to skid or
spin.
NOTICE
 Make sure the vehicle is completely
stopped before shifting into reverse.
 Do not use any gears other than
first gear when starting off and
moving forward. Doing so may dam-
age the clutch.

“LL” (low speed position, center differ-
ential locked): Lever at “LL”
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use “LL” for climbing or descending steep
hills, off −road driving, and hard pulling in
sand, mud or deep snow.
The center differential lock indicator light
comes on when the “LL” or “HL” mode is
selected.
See “(b) Shifting procedure” for further in-
structions. SHIFTING BETWEEN “H” AND “HL”
To shift from “H” to “HL”,
move the
four −wheel drive control lever.
This can be done at any vehicle speed.
You need not depress the clutch pedal. If
the indicator light does not come on when
you shift the transfer into “HL”, drive
straight ahead while accelerating or decel-
erating.
CAUTION
Never move the fourwheel drive con-
trol lever if wheels are slipping. Stop
the slipping or spinning before shift-
ing.
To shift from “HL” to “H”, simply move
the four −wheel drive control lever.
This can be done at any vehicle speed.
You need not depress the clutch pedal.
If the indicator light does not go off when
you shift the transfer into “H”, drive
straight ahead while accelerating or decel-
erating, or drive in reverse. SHIFTING BETWEEN “HL” AND “LL”
To shift from “HL” to “LL”,
stop the
vehicle or reduce your speed to less than
8 km/h (5 mph). With your foot off the

Use the front drive control lever to se-
lect the following transfer modes.
“H2” (high speed position, twowheel
drive): Lever at “H2”
Use this for normal driving on dry hard −
surfaced roads. This position gives greater
economy, quietest ride and least wear.
“H4” (high speed position, fourwheel
drive): Lever at “H4”
Use this for greater traction than two −
wheel drive. (When you experience a loss
of power, such as wheel spinning.) This
position provides greater traction than
two −wheel drive.
“N” (neutral position): Lever at “N”
No power is delivered to the wheels. The
vehicle must be stopped. “L4” (low speed position, fourwheel
drive):
Lever at “L4”
Use this for maximum power and traction.
Use “L4” for climbing or descending steep
hills, off −road driving, and hard pulling in
sand, mud or deep snow.
The four −wheel drive indicator light comes
on when the “H4”, “N” or “L4” mode is
selected.
See “(c) Shifting procedure” for further in-
structions. The A.D.D. (automatic disconnecting dif-
ferential) can be engaged or disengaged
by the shifting operations described in
“(c) Shifting procedure”.
You should drive in four
−wheel drive for
at least 16 km (10 miles) each month.

SHIFTING BETWEEN “H2” AND “H4”
To shift from “H2” to “H4”, reduce your
speed to less than 80 km/h (50 mph) and
move the front drive control lever.
If you have trouble shifting in cold weath-
er, reduce your speed or stop the vehicle
and reshift.
CAUTION
Never move the front drive control
lever if wheels are slipping. Stop the
slipping or spinning before shifting.
To shift from “H4” to “H2”, simply move
the front drive control lever.
This can be done at any vehicle speed.

you shift the transfer into “H2”, drive
straight ahead while accelerating or decel-
erating, or drive in reverse.
SHIFTING BETWEEN “H4” AND “L4”
Stop the vehicle, put the transmission into
“N” and move the front drive control lever. The traction control system automatical-
ly helps prevent the spinning of rear
wheels (twowheel drive models) or 4
wheels (fourwheel drive models) when
the vehicle is started or accelerated on
slippery road surfaces.
When the ignition key is turned to “ON”,
the system automatically turns on.
CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicle and
power to the rear wheels (twowheel
drive models) or 4 wheels (fourwheel
drive models) cannot be maintained,
even though the traction control sys-
tem is in operation. Do not drive the
vehicle under any speed or maneuver-
ing conditions which may cause the
vehicle to lose traction control. In si-
tuations where the road surface is
covered with ice or snow, your ve-
hicle should be fitted with snow tires
or tire chains. Always drive at an ap-
propriate and cautious speed for the
present road conditions.

NORMAL DRIVING MODE
Leave the system on during the ordi-
nary driving so that it can operate
when needed.
You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the trac-
tion control system is in the self
−check
mode, but does not indicate a malfunction.

The sound quality of MP3/WMA files
generally becomes better with higher
bit rates. This product can play record-
ings with bit rates as follows:MP3 files: 64 kbps to 320 kbps
WMA files: 48 kbps to 320 kbps
But in order to be able to enjoy a
certain sound quality, it is recom-
mended to use only discs recorded
with a bit rate of at least 128 kbps.
The MP3/WMA player does not play
back MP3/WMA files from discs record-
er using packet write data transfer
(UDF format). Discs should be re-
corded using “pre −mastering” software
rather than packet −write software.
There is no m3u playlist compatibility.
There is no compatibility with the MP3i
(MP3 interactive) or mp3PRO format.
The MP3/WMA player is compatible
with VBR (Variable Bit Rate).
When playing back files recorded as
VBR (Variable Bit Rate) files, the play
time will not be correctly displayed if
fast −forward or reverse operations are
used.
It is not possible to check folders that
do not include MP3/WMA files.
MP3 files in up to 8 tiers of folders
can be played back. However, there is
a delay in the start of playback on
discs with numerous tiers. For this rea-
son we recommend creating discs with
no more than 2 tiers.
It is possible to play back up to 255
files on one disc.
It is possible to play back up to 192
folders on one disc.

The engine number is stamped on the
engine block as shown.Your new vehicle carries theft preven-
tion labels which are approximately 47
mm (1.85 in.) by 12 mm (0.47 in.).
The purpose of these labels is to reduce
the incidence of vehicle thefts by facilitat-
ing the tracing and recovery of parts from
stolen vehicles. The label is designed so
that once it is applied to a surface, any
attempt to remove it will result in destroy-
ing the integrity of the label. Transferring
these labels intact from one part to anoth-
er, will be impossible.NOTICE
You should not attempt to remove the
theft prevention labels as it may vio-
late certain state or federal laws.
CAUTION
Do not modify the suspension/chassis
with lift kits, spacers, springs, etc. It
can cause dangerous handling charac-
teristics resulting in loss of control.

Cargo capacity depends on the to-
tal weight of the occupants.
(Cargo capacity) = (Total load capac-
ity) – (Total weight of occupants)
Steps for Determining Correct
Load Limit—
(1) Locate the statement “The com-bined weight of occupants and
cargo should never exceed XXX
kg or XXX lbs.” on your vehicle’s
placard.
(2) Determine the combined weight of the driver and passengers that
will be riding in your vehicle.
(3) Subtract the combined weight of the driver and passengers from
XXX kg or XXX lbs. (4) The resulting figure equals the
available amount of cargo and
luggage load capacity. For exam-
ple, if the “ XXX” amount equals
1400 lbs. and there will be five
150 lb passengers in your ve-
hicle, the amount of available
cargo and luggage load capacity
is 650 lbs. (1400–750
(5x150)=650 lbs.)
(5) Determine the combined weight of luggage and cargo being
loaded on the vehicle. That
weight may not safely exceed the
available cargo and luggage load
capacity calculated in Step 4.
(6) If your vehicle will be towing a trailer, load from your trailer will
be transferred to your vehicle.
Consult this manual to determine
how this reduces the available
cargo and luggage load capacity
of your vehicle.
For details about trailer towing, see
page 237.

Example on Your Vehicle
In case that 2 people with the com-
bined weight of 166 kg (366 lb.) are
riding in your vehicle with the total
load capacity of 540 kg (1190 lb.), the
available amount of cargo and lug-
gage load capacity will be as follows: 540 kg – 166 kg = 374 kg.
( 1190 lb. – 366 lb. = 824 lb. )
