CAUTION
Any of the following conditions may result in an accident which could cause
death or serious injury:
■The Multi Terrain ABS does not operate effectively when
●The limits of tire gripping performance have been exceeded.
●The vehicle hydroplanes while driving at high speed on the wet or slick
road.
■Stopping distance when the Multi Terrain ABS is operating may exceed
that of normal conditions
The Multi Terrain ABS is not designed to shorten the vehicle’s stopping dis-
tance. Always maintain a safe distance from the vehicle in front of you, espe-
cially in the following situations.
●When driving on dirt, gravel or snow-covered roads
●When driving with tire chains
●When driving over bumps in the road
●When driving over roads with potholes or uneven roads
■Active TRAC may not operate effectively when
Directional control and power may not be achievable while driving on slip-
pery road surfaces, even if the Active TRAC is operating.
Do not drive the vehicle in conditions where stability and power may be lost.
■If the hill-start assist control does not operate effectively
Do not overly rely on the hill-start assist control. The hill-start assist control
may not operate effectively on steep inclines and roads covered in ice.
■When Active TRAC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control are off
Be especially careful and drive at a speed appropriate to the road condi-
tions. As there are systems to ensure vehicle stability and driving force, do
not turn off Active TRAC, VSC and Trailer Sway Control unless necessary.
