When extricating the vehicle from mud, sand
or fresh snow with the transfer shift lever in
the “2H”, “4H”, or “4HLc” position, you may find that operation of the ASTC preventsthe engine speed from increasing in response
to depression of the accelerator pedal. If this happens and the vehicle remains stuck as a
result, place the transfer shift lever in the “4LLc” position or turn the Active Stability
Control switch OFF. The vehicle will then be
easier to extricate. (Brake control of the ac- tive traction control function is still working
to prevent wheel spins when ASC OFF
switch “OFF” or “4LLc” position selected.)
NOTEl If the vehicle speed increases to about
120 km/h (75 mph) with the Active Stability Control function deactivated, the Active Sta-bility Control function automatically starts operating. To subsequently stop the Active
Stability Control function, stop the vehicle
and press the ASC OFF switch again.Active stability control func-
tion
E00613900097
The Active Stability Control function is de-
signed to help maintain the vehicle’s control
in slippery conditions, or during rapid steer- ing manoeuvres. It works by controlling theengine output and brake on each wheel.
NOTEl The Active Stability Control function does
not operate when the transfer shift lever is inthe “4LLc” position.
When the Active Stability Control function
is operating with the transfer shift lever in the “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position, moving
the shift lever to the “4LLc” position makes
the Active Stability Control function deacti- vate automatically.
l On vehicles with rear differential lock, the
Active Stability Control function does not operate when the rear differential lock is ac-
tivated.

Stability Control function is operating.
indication lamp illuminates when the Ac-
tive Stability Control function is deactivated by either of the following operations:
l The ASC OFF switch is pressed to deac-
tivate the system.
l The transfer shift lever is placed in the
“4LLc” position.CAUTIONl When indication lamp blinks, the Active
Stability Control function is operating,
which means that the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s wheels are spinning exces- sively. If this happens, drive slower with lessaccelerator input.
l If a fault occurs in the device, the ABS
warning lamp or
and indication lamps
illuminate as warning. Park your vehicle in a
safe place and stop the engine. Then, start the engine again and check whether the ABS
warning lamp or
and indication lamps
go out.
If the ABS warning lamp or
and indi-
cation lamps remains lit even after the en- gine has been started, we recommend you tohave your vehicle checked.
NOTEl Immediately after reconnection of the bat-
tery cable, the indication lamp will illu-
minate and the Active Stability Control
function will stop operating. If the vehicle is
driven and the
indication lamp goes off,
the Active Stability Control function will
again start operating.
If the indication lamp illuminates again or il-
luminates even though the battery has not been disconnected, an insufficient battery
voltage or other problems may be the reason.
We recommend you to have your vehicle in- spected.
Active traction control function
E00614100041
The active traction control function maintains
traction on slippery road surfaces by auto-
matically controlling the engine output and applying the brakes so the driving wheels are prevented from spinning.
The active traction control function automati-
cally turns ON when the ignition switch is
turned to the “ON” position.

CAUTIONlIf the temperature in the braking system in-
creases excessively due to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, a warning
buzzer will sound intermittently to warn the driver. If driving continues in spite of the
buzzer and the temperature in the braking
system increases further, the
indication
lamp will illuminate, the warning buzzer will sound continuously for approximately
3 seconds, and active traction control func- tion operation will be suspended to protectthe braking system. (Normal operation of thevehicle will not be affected.) If the vehicle is
stopped and the
indication lamp goes off,
the active traction control function will start
operating again.

The indication lamp (1) should illuminate
when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position and should go off after a few seconds.
If the indication lamp stays on or does not il-
luminate when the ignition switch is turned to
the “ON” position, we recommend you to
have your vehicle inspected.
When the active Traction Control System op-
erates, the active traction control function in-dication lamp (1) blinks and the indication
lamp for the wheel (2) being subjected to an- tispin control also blinks.
Example indication: Active traction con- trol function controlling front-right wheel
NOTEl In the event of a fault in the Active Stability
Control function, the and indication
lamps illuminate. As a result, an indication
of the active traction control function is limi- ted to flashing of the indication lamp for the
wheel (2) being subjected to antispin con- trol.CAUTIONl If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the active traction control
function may operate, resulting in an acci-
dent. When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the
“LOCK” or “ACC” position. When towing the vehicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position.

The regulations concerning towing may dif-
fer from country to country. It is recommen-
ded that you obey the regulations of the area where you are driving your vehicle.Towing the vehicle by a tow
truckCAUTIONl This vehicle must not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment (Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift will dam-age the bumper and front end.
l Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position and transport the vehicle with the driving wheels on a carriage (Type C, D
or E) as illustrated. Never try to tow with the transfer shift lever in “4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and with the front or rearwheels on the ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated. This could result in driving sys-
tem damage or the vehicle may jump at the
carriage. If you cannot shift the transfer shift lever to the “2H” position or the transmis-sion is malfunctioning or damaged, transport the vehicle with all wheels on a carriage
(Type D or E) as illustrated.
l As your vehicle equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system (ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position and only
the front wheels or only the rear wheels raised off the ground, the active Traction
Control System may operate, resulting in an accident.CAUTIONl If you tow vehicles with
A/T with the driv-
ing wheels on the ground (Type B) as illus-
trated, make sure that the towing speed and distance given below are never exceeded, causing damage to the transmission.

Petrol-powered vehicles
Towing speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
Towing distance: 50 km (31 miles)

Diesel-powered vehicles
