4-1. Before driving
WARNING
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in death or serious injury.
■When the vehicle is parked
●Always apply the parking brake, shift the shift lever to P, stop the engine
and lock the vehicle.
Do not leave the vehicle unattended while the engine is running.
● 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. 280)
● Do not touch the exhaust pipes while the engine is running or immediately
after turning the engine off.
Doing so may cause burns.
■ When taking a nap in the vehicle
Always turn the engine off. Otherwise, if you accidentally move the shift
lever or depress the accelerator pedal, this could cause an accident or fire
due to engine overheating. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked in a poorly
ventilated area, exhaust gases may collect and enter the vehicle, leading to
death or a serious health hazard.
■ When braking
●When the brakes are wet, drive more cautiously.
Braking distance increases when the brakes are wet, and this may cause
one side of the vehicle to brake differently than the other side. Also, the
parking brake may not securely hold the vehicle.
● If the power brake assist function does not operate, do not follow other\
vehicles closely and avoid hills or sharp turns that require braking. In this
case, braking is still possible, but the brake pedal should be depressed
more firmly than usual. Also, the braking distance will increase. Have your
brakes fixed immediately.
● Do not pump the brake pedal if the engine stalls.
Each push on the brake pedal uses up the reserve for the power-assisted
brakes.
● The brake system consists of 2 individual hydraulic systems: If one of the
systems fails, the other will still operate. In this case, the brake pedal
should be depressed more firmly than usual and the braking distance will
increase.
Have your brakes fixed immediately.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
Four-wheel drive system
H4 (high speed position)
Normal driving on all types of
roads.
L4 (low speed position)
Driving requiring maximum power
and traction such as climbing or
descending steep hills, off-road
driving, and hard pulling in sand or
mud, etc.
The low speed four-wheel drive
indicator will come on.
Use the four-wheel drive contro l switch and center differential
lock/unlock switch to select the following transfer and center
differential modes.

Driving
Lock the center differential when
your vehicle’s wheels get stuck in
a ditch or when driving on a slip-
pery or bumpy surface.
The center differential lock indica-
tor will come on.
Unlock the center differential after
the wheels have been freed, or
after moving to a flat, non-slippery
surface.
To unlock the center differential, push the switch again.
■
Shifting from H4 to L4 Stop the vehicle completely with brake pedal held down.
Shift the shift lever to N.
Push and turn the four-wheel driv e control switch fully clockwise.
Maintain this condition until the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on.
■
Shifting from L4 to H4
Stop the vehicle completely with brake pedal held down.
Shift the shift lever to N.
Push and shift the four-wheel drive control switch to H4.
Maintain this condition until the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns off.

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■The four-wheel drive control switch can be operated when
● The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The shift lever is in the N position.
● The vehicle is stopped completely.
■ The low speed four-wheel drive indicator light
The indicator light blinks while shifting between H4 and L4.
■ Advice for driving on slippery roads
●If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to L4 and the shift lever to the
2 range of S while driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the brake
can be controlled effectively by the Active TRAC, which assists the driver to
control the driving power of 4 wheels.
● Use the 1 range of S of the shift lever for maximum power and traction when
your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline.
■ The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.
■ The center differential lock/unlock switch can be operated when
●The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The vehicle speed is less than 62 mph (100 km/h).
■ Locking/unlocking the center differential
●When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential
locked, VSC is automatically turned off. (The center differential lock and
VSC OFF indicator lights come on.)
● If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks.
If the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center differential,
drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
● If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds while
the cruise control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.
■ If the low speed four-wheel drive indi cator light or the center differential
lock indicator light blinks
● If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when
using the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move
the shift lever to N and operate the switch again.
● 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.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever to
N, and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off).
