the Stop/Start System.
NOTE
The [Total Saving] values cannot be reset
and show accumulated Stop/Start System
information since the vehicle was built.Ultrasonic sensors
jA , fitted in the vehicle’s rear
bumper, measure the distance between the vehicle
and an obstacle when reversing. When reverse gear
is engaged a beeping sound is heard. The frequency
of the beeps will increase the closer you come to
the obstacle until, the sound becomes a constant
beep when, the vehicle is approximately 30 cm (12
in) from the obstacle.
NOTE
This system is intended as an aid to reversing,
to be used in conjunction with your rear view
mirror.
Make sure that the ultrasonic sensors are not
obscured (by dirt, mud, snow, etc.). The Four Wheel Drive (4WD) system is used to
select 2WD, AUTO, or LOCK depending on the
driving conditions.
The Four Wheel Drive (4WD) system controls the
coupling operation. Turn the control (located on the
centre console) to select each mode: 2WD, AUTO
or LOCK depending on the driving conditions.
AUTO: Turn the 4WD mode control to the neutral
(AUTO) position and the Four-Wheel Drive (4WD)
AUTO indicator light
on the combination meter
illuminates.
2WD: Turn the control clockwise to the 2WD posi-
tion.
LOCK: When the control is turned anticlockwise to
the LOCK position, it springs back to the AUTO
position when released. The 4WD LOCK mode in-
dicator light
illuminates on the combination
meter, to show LOCK mode is engaged. To disen-
gage LOCK mode, turn the control anticlockwise
again to the LOCK position and release. The 4WD
LOCK mode indicator light will go out.
