■The Multi-terrain Select can be operated when
●Vehicle speed is less than 7 mph (12 km/h)
●Crawl Control is off
■When using Multi-terrain Select
The following functions cannot be switched on or off.
●VSC
●Active TRAC
●Second start mode
A message will be shown on the multi-information display stating that these func-
tions cannot be switched using the VS C OFF switch or the menu and “ENTER”
switches.
■When selecting a terrain mode
If you are unsure which mode is appropriate, select MOGUL when the four-wheel
drive control switch is in L4 or se lect MUD & SAND when it is in H4.
■When it is difficult to generate traction
MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed by
LOOSE ROCK, MOGUL 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 slippage is large, or
conversely selecting a mode which provides a larger amount of tire slippage than
the current mode when the amount of tire slippage is small.
