NOTElIf the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or
muddy roads, it can often be moved with a
rocking motion. Move the gearshift lever al-
ternately between the 1 st
and “R” (Reverse)
positions ( M/T), the “D” (DRIVE) and “R”
(REVERSE) positions ( A/T or CVT), while
pressing lightly on the accelerator pedal.
l Driving on rough roads can cause rust on the
vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soon as possible after such use.
Climbing/descending sharp
grades
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. Avoid driving on steep slopes even
though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Driving through water
E00618900106
If the electrical circuits become wet, further
operation of the vehicle will be impossible;
therefore, avoid driving through water unless absolutely necessary. If driving through wa-ter is unavoidable, use the following proce-
dure:

Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Driveslowly to avoid creating excessive water
splashing.
CAUTIONl Never drive through water that is deep
enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or ex-
haust pipe. Do not change the gearshift lever position ( M/T) or the selector lever position
(A/T or CVT) while driving through water.
Frequent driving through water can adverse-
ly affect the life span of the vehicle; we rec- ommend you to take the necessary measuresto prepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle.
l After driving through water, apply the
brakes to be sure they are functioning prop- erly. If the brakes are wet and not function-
ing properly, dry them out by driving slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal. In- spect each part of the vehicle carefully.Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606700338
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully 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.

Inspection and maintenance following rough road operation
6-43OGAE15E5Starting and driving6

Pay close attention to the tyres.l Install only the specified tyres on all
wheels. Refer to “Tyres and wheels” on page 11-13.
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 10-15.
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 different size, 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.Jacking up a 4-wheel drive ve-
hicleWARNINGl Do not crank the engine while the vehicle
is jacked up.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the vehicle may roll off the jack.
Clutch operation
Quick or slight clutch engagement made
while the engine is running at high speed will
cause damage to the clutch and transmission because the tractive force is very great.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively.
Braking
E00607001784
All the parts of the brake system are critical
to safety. We recommend you to have the ve- hicle checked at regular intervals according
to the service booklet.
CAUTIONl Avoid driving habits that cause heavy brak-
ing and never “ride” the brakes by resting
your foot on the brake pedal while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
