3 All-wheel driving operation
N00530600169
For vehicles with full-time 4WDFull-time 4WD vehicles are propelled by engine power distrib-
uted constantly and appropriately to all 4 wheels.
Not only does this ensure enhanced handling on dry, paved
roads but also permits better traction when driving on slippery,
wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.
These vehicles, however, are not designed for off-road use,
and are unsuitable for driving on bumpy ground that may
cause excessive strain. Full-time 4WD vehicles should be
driven only under the same conditions as are suitable for ordi-
nary front-wheel drive vehicles.For vehicles with electronically controlled 4WD
systemElectronically controlled 4WD system vehicles are propelled
by engine power distributed constantly and appropriately to all
4 wheels.
Not only does this ensure enhanced handling on dry, paved
roads but also permits better traction when driving on slippery,
wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.
These vehicles, however, are not designed for off-road use,
and are unsuitable for driving on bumpy ground that may
cause excessive strain. Electronically controlled 4WD system
vehicles should be driven only under the same conditions as
are suitable for ordinary front-wheel drive vehicles.
Turning sharp cornersWhen turning a sharp corner in “4WD LOCK” position at low
speed, a slight difference in steering may be experienced simi-
lar to feeling as if the brakes were applied. This is called tight
corner braking and results from each of the four tires being at a
different distance from the corner. The phenomenon is typical
of 4-wheel drive vehicles. If this occurs, either straighten out
the steering wheel, or change to “2WD” or “4WD AUTO”
mode.On snowy or icy roadsSet the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO” or “4WD
LOCK” in accordance with the road conditions, and then grad-
ually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.NOTEThe use of snow tires is recommended.
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden
braking, and use engine braking (downshifting).
CAUTION
!Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration, and
sharp turning. Skidding occurs and control of the
vehicle could be lost.
