2−4. Using other driving systems
Driving assist systems
When VSC/TRAC are operating
If the vehicle is in danger of slip−
ping, or if the rear wheels (2WD
models) or all wheels (4WD
models) spin, the indicator light
flashes to indicate that VSC/
TRAC have been engaged.
A buzzer (intermittent) sounds to
indicate that VSC is operating. To help enhance driving safety a nd performance, the following sys
tems operate automatically in res
ponse to various driving situations.
Be aware, however, that these systems are supplementary and
should not be relied upon too h
eavily when operating the vehicle.
 ABS (Antilock Brake System)
Restrains the vehicle from slipping when driving on slick road surfaces
or in the event of sudden braking.
 Brake Assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is
depressed, when the system detects a panic stop situation.
 VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
 TRAC (Traction Control)
Maintains drive power and prevents the rear wheels (2WD models) or
all wheels (4WD models) from spinning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads.

5−2. Steps to take in an emergency
If the vehicle becomes stuck
 Emergency hook Carry out the following procedures if the tires spin or the vehicle
becomes stuck in mud, dirt, or snow.
Stop the engine. Set the parking brake and put the shift
lever in P (vehicles with an automatic transmission) or N
(vehicles with a manual transmission).
Remove the mud, snow, or sand from around the stuck tire.
Place wood, stones or some other material to help provide
traction under the tires.
2WD models: Push the AUTO LSD switch. (
P. 150)
4WD models with an automatic transmission: Shift the
front−wheel drive control lever to L4. Then push the RR
DIFF LOCK switch (if equipped). ( P. 152)
4WD models with a manual transmission: Shift the four−
wheel drive control lever to LL. Then push the RR DIFF
LOCK switch (if equipped). ( P. 152)
Carefully apply the accelerator to free the vehicle.
When your vehicle becomes stuck and
cannot move, the emergency hook is
used for another vehicle to pull your vehi−
cle out in an emergency.
Your vehicle is not designed to tow
another vehicle.
Do not use the rear hook. It is not
designed for towing.
