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.
