CAUTIONlNever hold the vehicle stationary while in
CVT on a hill with the accelerator, always
apply the parking brake and/or service
brake.Parking
E00602900039
To park the vehicle, first bring it to a com-
plete stop, fully engage the parking brake,and then move the selector lever to the “P”
(PARK) position.
If you are going to leave the vehicle unatten-
ded, always switch off the engine and carry the key.
NOTEl On a slope, be sure to apply the parking
brake before moving the selector lever to the
“P” (PARK) position. If you move the selec- tor lever to the “P” (PARK) position before applying the parking brake, it may be diffi-
cult to disengage the selector lever from the
“P” (PARK) position when next you drive the vehicle, requiring application of a strong
force to the selector lever to move from the
“P” (PARK) position.When the CVT makes no speed
change
E00603100139
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate.
We recommend you to have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
Electronically controlled
4WD system* E00604901405
The electronically controlled 4WD system isa 4-wheel drive system that allows one of
three drive modes to be selected with a switch, in accordance with the driving condi-tions.
The following drive modes are available.
Drive modeFunction
2WD
This mode is for econom-
ical driving on normal dry
roads and motorway.
Driving in front-wheel
drive.Drive modeFunction
4WD AUTO
The default mode.
This mode is for automat-
ically controlling the dis-
tribution of driving torque
to all four wheels accord-
ing to the driving condi-
tions.
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving
in slippery conditions
such as on snow-covered
roads or sand.
The large amount of driv-
ing torque that is applied
to the rear tyres enables
getting out of slippery
areas and powerful driv-
ing is possible across all
ranges.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills.
Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation”
on page 6-39 and take care to drive safely.

lCarefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal in order to
dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do not function properly, we recommend
you to have the brakes checked as soon as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After driving through water, check the
engine, transmission and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy be-
cause of water contamination, it must be
replaced with new oil or grease.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom-
mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606800818
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-12.
l Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the
same size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of
the tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l All tyres should be rotated before the
wear difference between the front and
rear tyres is recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expec- ted if there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to “Tyre rotation” on page 10-14.
l Check the tyre inflation pressure regular-
ly.CAUTIONl Always use tyres of the same size, same
type, and same brand, and which have no wear differences. Using tyres of differentsize, type, brands or degree of wear, will in-
crease the differential oil temperature, result-
ing in possible damage to the driving sys-
tem. Further, the drive train will be subjec- ted to excessive loading possibly leading tooil leakage, component seizure, or other seri-
ous faults.TowingCAUTIONl Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use Type C or Type D equipment.
l Even in “2WD” drive mode, the vehicle can-
not be towed with the front or the rear wheels on the ground.

Initially tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered area (A) of the nuts
lightly touches the wheel hole seat
area (B) enough to keep the tyre from wobbling.CAUTIONl Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.NOTEl Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel wheel, but return to the original wheel and tyre as soon as possible.
l If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in
the illustration until each nut has been tightened to the torque listed here.
Tightening torque 88 to 108 Nm
(Achieved by applying force of 350 to
420 N at end of wheel nut wrench sup- plied with vehicle)CAUTIONl Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
10. If the vehicle has a wheel cover, install
it.
Refer to “Wheel covers” on page 8-19.
11. Lower and remove the jack, then store
the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi- ble.
12. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the
next gasstation.
