Minor noises may be heard on engine
startup. These will disappear as the
engine warms up.
Stopping the engine
Except for vehicles equipped with
the keyless operation system
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
2. Fully engage the parking brake while
depressing the brake pedal.
3. For vehicles equipped with M/T, turn
the ignition switch to the “LOCK”
position to stop the engine, and then
move the gearshift lever to the 1st (on a
uphill) or “R” (Reverse) (on a downhill)
position. For vehicles equipped with
A/T, place the selector lever in the “P”
(PARK) position, and stop the engine.
For vehicles equipped with the
keyless operation system
204)
If you have to bring the engine to an
emergency stop while driving, press
and hold the engine switch for
3 seconds or more, or press it quickly
3 times or more. The engine will stop
and the operation mode will go to ACC.
Do not stop the engine with the selector
lever in any position other than the “P”
(PARK) position (A/T). If the engine is
stopped with the selector lever in any
position other than the “P” (PARK)
position, the operation mode will go to
ACC rather than OFF. Put the operationmode in OFF after placing the selector
lever in the “P” (PARK) position.
1. Stop the vehicle
2. Fully engage the parking brake while
depressing the brake pedal.
3. On vehicles with M/T, press the
engine switch to stop the engine, move
the gearshift lever to the 1st (on a uphill)
or “R” (Reverse) (on a downhill) position.
On vehicles with A/T, move the selector
lever to the “P” (PARK) position, press
the engine switch to stop the engine.
Fuel injection amount learning
process
To keep exhaust emissions and engine
noise low, the engine very occasionally
performs a learning process for the fuel
injection amount.
The engine sounds slightly different
from usual while the learning process is
taking place. The change in the engine
sound does not indicate a fault.
If the keyless operation key is not
operating properly
Insert the keyless operation key into the
key slot. Starting the engine and
changing the operation mode should be
now possible.
Remove the keyless operation key from
the key slot after starting the engine or
changing the operation mode.Do not insert into the key slot anything
other than the keyless operation key.
This could cause damage or a
malfunction.
Remove the object or additional key
from the keyless operation key before
inserting the key into the key slot. The
vehicle may not be able to receive the
registered ID code from the registered
key. Therefore, the engine may not start
and the operation mode may not
change.
The keyless operation key is fixed, if the
key is inserted in the key slot as
illustrated. When pulling out the key, pull
out in the state.

STARTING AND DRIVING
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4H” or
“4L” position (Easy select 4WD), “4HLc”
or “4LLc” position (Super select 4WD II)
and then gradually depress the
accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
Keep the pressure on the accelerator
pedal as constant as possible, and
drive at low speed.
115) 116)
218)
Avoid sudden braking, acceleration,
and turning; such operations could
result in the vehicle becoming stuck.
If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy
or muddy roads, it can often be moved
a rocking motion. Move the selector
lever rhythmically between the “D”
(DRIVE) and “R” (REVERSE) position
(with manual transmission, between 1st
and Reverse), while applying slight
pressure to the accelerator pedal.
It is recommended to start the vehicle
with parking brake partially, but not
completely, applied by slightly pulling
the parking brake lever. After the vehicle
has become free, do not forget to
release the parking brake.
If it is necessary to drive in extremely
muddy conditions, the use of tyre
chains is recommended. Because the
extent of muddy conditions is difficult to
judge and the vehicle could become
bogged down very deeply, operationshould be at a low speed. If possible,
get out of the vehicle and check the
conditions ahead before proceeding.
Driving over roads in coastal areas or
roads on which anti-skid preparations
have been spread can cause rust on
the vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly
as soon as possible after such use.
Climbing sharp grades
Set the drive mode-selector to “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super select 4WD II) to
maximize the engine torque.
219) 220)
Choose as smooth a slope as possible
with few stones or other obstacles.
Before attempting to drive up the slope,
walk up it to confirm that the vehicle
can handle the grade.Descending sharp grades
Set the drive mode-selector to “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super select 4WD II), use the
engine brake (downshifting) and
descend slowly.
221)
When descending a sharp grade, if the
brakes are applied suddenly because of
an obstacle encountered, control of the
vehicle could be lost. Before
descending the slope, walk down it and
confirm the path.
Before descending a grade, it is
necessary to choose the appropriate
gear. Avoid changing gears or
depressing the clutch while descending
the grade.

NOTE Confirm that the hanger disc is
securely fitted in the wheel disc hole
when the wheel is just lifted off the
ground.
3. After winding up the spare wheel
sufficiently, make sure it is not loose (the
tightening torque should be
approximately 40 Nm (achieved by
applying a force of 200 N at the end of
the wheel nut wrench) then withdraw
the jack handle, taking care not to turn
it in the reverse direction.
278) 279) 280)
4. Have your damaged tyre repaired as
soon as possible.
To store the tools, jack and jack
handle
Reverse the removing procedure when
storing the jack, jack handle and wheel
nut wrench (refer to “Tools, jack and
jack handle”).
WARNING
257)Use your hazard lights, warning
triangle, etc. to show that your vehicle is
stationary according to the regulations in
force. Passengers should get out of the
vehicle, particularly if it is heavily loaded,
and wait for the wheel to be changed away
from the traffic. Apply the handbrake. in the
event of a wheel change on a slope or on
unsurfaced roads, put any object as stop
under the wheels.
258)Be sure to apply chocks or blocks to
the correct tyre when jacking up the
vehicle. If the vehicle moves while jacked
up, the jack could slip out of position,
leading to an accident.
259)The pressure should be periodically
checked and maintained at the specified
pressure while the tyre is stowed. Driving
with an insufficient tyre pressure can lead
to an accident. If you have no choice but to
drive with an insufficient tyre pressure,
keep your speed down and inflate the tyre
to the correct pressure as soon as
possible. (Refer to “Tyre inflation
pressures”).
260)Set the jack only at the positions
shown here. If the jack is set at a wrong
position, it could dent your vehicle or the
jack might fall over and cause personal
injury.
261)Do not use the jack on a tilted or soft
surface. Otherwise, the jack might slip and
cause personal injury. Always use the jack
on a flat, hard surface. Before setting the
jack, make sure there are no sand or
pebbles under the jack base.262)Stop jacking up the vehicle as soon
as the tyre is raised off the ground. It is
dangerous to raise the vehicle any higher.
Do not get under your vehicle while using
the jack. Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous. Do not use a jack
except the one that came with your
vehicle. The jack should not be used for
any purpose other than to change a tyre.
No one should be in your vehicle when
using the jack. Do not start or run the
engine while your vehicle is on the jack. Do
not turn the raised wheel. The tyres still on
the ground could turn and make your
vehicle fall off the jack.
263)Do not get under your vehicle while
using the jack.
264)Do not bump the raised vehicle or
leave it sitting on the jack for a long time.
Both are very dangerous.
265)Do not use a jack except the one that
came with your vehicle.
266)The jack should not be used for any
purpose other than to change a tyre.
267)No one should be in your vehicle
when using the jack.
268)Do not start or run the engine while
your vehicle is on the jack.
269)Do not turn the raised wheel. The
tyres still on the ground could turn and
make your vehicle fall off the jack.
270)Handle the wheel carefully when
changing the tyre, to avoid scratching the
wheel surface.
