NOTICE
nTo prevent battery discharge
Do not leave the lights on longer than necessary when the engine is not run−
ning.
The sensor may not function properly if
an object is placed on the sensor, or any−
thing that blocks the sensor is affixed to
the windshield.
Doing so interferes with the sensor
detecting the level of ambient light and
may cause the automatic headlight sys−
tem to malfunction.

lThe shift lever is in the “D” or “4”, “5” or “6” range of “S”.
lVehicle speed is more than approximately 25 mph (40 km/h).
nAccelerating
The vehicle can be accelerated normally. After acceleration, the set speed
resumes.
nAutomatic cruise control cancelation
The set speed is automatically canceled in any of the following situations.
lActual vehicle speed falls more than 10 mph (16 km/h) below the preset
vehicle speed.
At this time, the memorized set speed is not retained.
lActual vehicle speed is below 25 mph (40 km/h).
l
VSC is activated.
nCanceling and resuming regular acceleration
Cancel
Push the lever towards you to

nThe fourwheel drive control switch can be operated when
lThe “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
lThe shift lever is in the “N” position.
lThe vehicle is stopped completely.
nAdvice for driving on slippery roads in “L4” (low speed position)
lIf you shift the four−wheel drive control switch to “L4” and the shift lever to
the “2” range of “S” while driving in steep off−road areas, the output of the
brake can be controlled effectively by the active traction control system,
which assists the driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels.
lUse the “1” range of “S” of the shift lever for maximum power and traction
when your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline. In the
following cases, the output of the brake can be controlled by the active
traction control system if the engine speed is under 3,000 rpm (normally
under 3,000 rpm when the wheels get unstuck).
The four−wheel drive control switch is in the “L4” position and the shift
lever is in the “1” range of “S” or the shift lever is in “D” or “S” with the
transmission downshifted to first gear.
The four−wheel drive control switch is in the “L4” position and the shift
lever is in the “R” position.
nThe center differential lock/unlock button can be operated when
lThe “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
lThe vehicle speed is less than 60 mph (100 km/h).
nLocking/unlocking the center differential
lWhen the center differential is locked, VSC (vehicle stability control) is
automatically turned off. (The center di
fferential lock and “VSC OFF” indi−
cator lights come on.)
lIf the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator
blinks. If the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center
differential, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or
drive in reverse.
lIf the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds
while the cruise control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.

When driving
nAutomatic system cancelation
In the following situations, the system is canceled automatically, and the
crawl control indicator will turn off:
lWhen the shift lever is moved to “P”.
lWhen the four−wheel drive control switch is in “H4”.
In the following situations, it is possible to descend a slope at a fixed low
speed, however when traveling the system is canceled automatically, and
the crawl indicator will turn off.
lWhen the shift lever is moved to “N”.
lWhen the vehicle speed exceeds 6 mph (10 km/h).
lWhen the brake pedal is depressed firmly.
lWhen the parking brake is engaged.

Stop the vehicle in a safe place. (There is no problem with continuing normal
driving.)
nIf the automatic transmission system overheats
The system will cease operation, a buzzer will sound and a warning mes−
sage will be displayed to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in a safe place until
the warning message turns off.
