2-1. Driving procedures

When driving
L/C200_U
CAUTION
■
When the vehicle is parked
● Do not leave glasses, cigarette lighters, spray cans, or soft drink cans in
the vehicle when it is in the sun.
Failure to do so may result in the following:
• Gas may leak from a cigarette lighter or spray can, and may lead to a
fire.
• The temperature inside the vehicle may cause the plastic lenses and plastic material of eye glasses to deform or crack.
• Soft drink cans may fracture, causing the contents to spray over the interior of the vehicle, and may also cause a short circuit in the vehi-
cle’s electrical components.
● Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to “P”, stop the engine
and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
● If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this
time, the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
“P”. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete
the shifting of the transfer mode. ( P. 197)
● Do not touch the exhaust pipe while the engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
● Do not leave the engine running in an area with snow build-up, or where it
is snowing. If snowbanks build up around the vehicle while the engine is
running, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle. This may lead
to death or a serious health hazard.

When driving
L/C200_U
Four-wheel drive system
Use the four-wheel drive control switch and center differential lock/
unlock switch to select the following transfer and center differential
modes.
■ Four-wheel drive control switch
“H4” (high speed position)
Normal driving on all types of
roads.
“L4” (low speed position)
Driving requiring maximum
power and traction such as
climbing or descending steep
hills, off-road driving, and hard
pulling in sand or mud, etc.
■Center differential lock/unlock switch
Lock the center differential
when your vehicle’s wheels
get stuck in a ditch or when
driving on a slippery or bumpy
surface.
Unlock the center differential
after the wheels have been
freed, or after moving to a flat,
non-slippery surface.

When driving
L/C200_U
■The four-wheel drive control switch can be operated when
● The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The shift lever is in the “N” position.
● The vehicle is stopped completely.
■ The low speed four-wheel drive indicator light
The indicator light blinks while shifting between “H4” and “L4”.
■ Advice for driving on slippery roads
● If 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 TRAC, which assists the
driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels.
● Use 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.
■ The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.
■ The center differential lock/unlo ck button can be operated when
● The “ENGINE START STOP” switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The vehicle speed is less than 60 mph (100 km/h).
■ Locking/unlocking the center differential
● When the center differential is locked, VSC is automatically turned off.
(The center differential lock and “VSC OFF” indicator lights come on.)
● If 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.
● If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds
while the cruise control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.
