CAUTION
■While driving
Never move the four-wheel drive control switch if the wheels have lost trac-
tion. Doing so may cause an accident resulting in death or serious injury.
■ When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time,
the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
“P”. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode. (P. 240)
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the center differential
●For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differ-
ential.
● Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the
slippery or bumpy surface.
● Do not push the center differential lock/unlock switch when the vehicle is
turning or when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.

■Function limitations
Crawl Control
● In the following situations, brake control can be used to drive downhill at
a constant speed. However, engine control is not available when driving
uphill at a constant speed.
• When switched to second start mode.
● In the following situation, engine control and brake control will stop tem-
porarily. In this event, the Crawl Control indicator will flash.
• When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 15 mph (25 km/h).
Turn Assist function
In the following situations, the Turn Assist function will stop temporarily. In
this event, the Turn Assist indicator will flash.
● When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 6 mph (10km/h).
● When the shift lever is moved to “R”.
■ When the Crawl Control system is operated continuously
● If Crawl Control is used continuously for a long time, the buzzer will
sound, a malfunction notification will be displayed on the multi-informa-
tion display, the Crawl Control indicator will go off, and Crawl Control will
be temporarily inoperable as a result of the brake system overheating. In
this event, stop the vehicle immediately in a safe place, and allow the
brake system to cool down sufficiently until the “TRAC OFF” on the multi-
information display goes off. (In the meantime, normal driving is possi-
ble.)
● If Crawl Control is used continuously for a long time, the buzzer will
sound, the system will be temporarily canceled, and a malfunction notifi-
cation will be displayed on the multi-information display as a result of the
automatic transmission system overheating. Stop the vehicle in a safe
place until the display goes off.

NOTICE
■To prevent the water damage
Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the
engine or other components does not occur.
●Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.
● Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti-
mately damage.
● Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre-
mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and
transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
■ When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams, first check
the depth of the water and the bottom of the river bed for firmness. Drive
slowly and avoid deep water.
■ Inspection after off-road driving
●Sand and mud that has accumulate d in brake drums and around brake
discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo-
nents.
● Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-road driv-
ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or water. For
scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
