Automatic system cancelation
In the following situations, the Multi-terrain Select indicator will go off, and
Multi-terrain Select will be canceled automatically.
When the four-wheel drive control switch is in “H4”.
When Active TRC and VSC are off.
When Crawl Control is on.
When it is difficult to generate traction
MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed
by LOOSE ROCK, MOGUL, ROCK & DIRT and ROCK mode.
Drivability can be improved by selecting a mode which provides a smaller
amount of tire slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slip-
page is large, or conversely selecting a mode which provides a larger
amount of tire slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slip-
page is small.
When the vehicle is stuck
Switching the transfer and differential
For the operation of the following functions, refer to the following pages.
Four-wheel drive system (P. 259)
Center differential lock (P. 259)
When the brake system operates continuously
The brake system may overheat. In this case, a buzzer will sound, either the
“TRC OFF” will be displayed on the multi-information display, and Multi-ter-
rain Select will be temporarily inoperable. In this event, stop the vehicle
immediately in a safe place, and allow the brake system to cool down suffi-
ciently. (There is no problem with continuing normal driving.)
After a short time, the message on the multi-information display will go off,
and you will be able to use Multi-terrain Select.
When there is a malfunction in the system
The slip indicator light will come on. Have the vehicle inspected by any
