2304-5. Using the driving support systems
●When the ground behind the vehicle slopes down sharply
The distance guide lines will
appear to be farther from the
vehicle than the actual dis-
tance. Because of this, objects
will appear to be closer than
they actually are. In the same
way, there will be a margin of
error between the guide lines
and the actual distance/course
on the road.
●When any part of the vehicle sags
When any part of the vehicle
sags due to the number of pas-
sengers or the distribution of
the load, there is a margin of
error between the fixed guide
lines on the screen and the
actual distance/course on the
road.
■When approaching three-dimensional objects
The distance guide lines are displayed according to flat surfaced
objects (such as the road). It is not possible to determine the posi-
tion of three-dimensional objects (such as vehicles) using the vehi-
cle width guide lines and distance guide lines. When approaching a
three-dimensional object that extends outward (such as the flatbed
of a truck), be careful of the following.

WARNING
■When using the rear view monitor system
The rear view monitor system is a supplemental device intended to assist
the driver when backing up. When backing up, be sure to visually check all
around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors before proceeding.
Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in
death or serious injuries.
●Never depend on the rear view monitor system entirely when backing up.
The image and the position of the guide lines displayed on the screen may
differ from the actual state.
Use caution, just as you would when backing up any vehicle.
●Be sure to back up slowly, depressing the brake pedal to control vehicle
speed.
●The instructions given are only guidelines.
When and how much to turn the steering wheel will vary according to traf-
fic conditions, road surface conditions, vehicle condition, etc., when park-
ing. It is necessary to be fully aware of this before using the rear view
monitor system.
●When parking, be sure to check that the parking space will accommodate
your vehicle before maneuvering into it.
●Do not use the rear view monitor system in the following cases:
• On icy or slick road surfaces, or in snow
• When using tire chains or the emergency tire
• When the tailgate is not closed completely
• On roads that are not flat or straight, such as curves or slopes
●In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the image may become
faint. The image could distort when the vehicle is moving, or you may
become unable to see the image on the screen. Be sure to visually check
all around the vehicle both directly and using the mirrors before proceed-
ing.
●If the tire sizes are changed, the position of the fixed guide lines displayed
on the screen may change.
●The camera uses a special lens. The distances between objects and
pedestrians that appear in the image displayed on the screen will differ
from the actual distances. (P. 229)

When under strong sunlight, the outside rear view mirror indicator may be dif-
ficult to see.
■Rear Cross Traffic Alert buzzer hearing
Rear Cross Traffic Alert function may be difficult to hear over noises such as
high audio volume.
■When there is a malfunction in the Blind Spot Monitor system
If a system malfunction is detected due to any of the following reasons, warn-
ing light will be turned on (vehicles without a multi-information display) or
messages will be displayed (vehicles with a multi-information display):
(P. 513, 526)
●There is a malfunction with the sensors
●The sensors have become dirty
●The outside temperature is extremely high or low
●The sensor voltage has become abnormal

Driving
Operate the Multi-terrain Select
mode selector dial during Multi-
terrain Select control to select a
mode.
■The Multi-terrain Select can be operated when
●The four-wheel drive control switch is in “4L” position.
●The Crawl Control is off.
■When using the Multi-terrain Select
The VSC system cannot be switched on or off.
A message will be shown on the multi-information display stating that this
function cannot be switched using the VSC off switch.
■When it is difficult to generate traction
“MUD & SAND” mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed
by “LOOSE ROCK”, “MOGUL”, “ROCK & DIRT” and “ROCK” mode.
If the current tires slip is too large, driveability can be improved by selecting a
mode with a smaller slip amount. Conversely, selecting a mode with a larger
slip can improve driveability, if the current tire slip is too small.
■When the vehicle is stuck

■Automatic system cancelation
In the following situations, the buzzer will sound intermittently and Crawl Con-
trol will be canceled automatically. In this event, the Crawl Control indicator
will flash and then goes off, and a message stating that Crawl Control has
been turned off will be displayed on the multi-information display for several
seconds.
●When the shift lever is shifted to P or N
●When the front-wheel drive control switch is turned to “4H”
●When the driver’s door is opened
■Function limitations
When the vehicle speed exceeds approximately 15 mph (25 km), engine con-
trol and brake control will stop temporarily. In this event, the Crawl Control
indicator will flash.
■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-information display,
the Crawl Control indicator goes 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” indicator will goes off. (In the mean-
time, normal driving is possible.)
●If Crawl Control is used continuously for a long time, the buzzer will sound,
the system will be temporarily canceled, and a malfunction notification 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.
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the Crawl Control system
●A sound may be heard from the engine compartment when the engine is
started or just after the vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate
that a malfunction has occurred in Crawl Control system.
●Either of the following conditions may occur when the Crawl Control system
is operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.
• Vibrations may be felt through the vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard after the vehicle comes to a stop.
■When there is a malfunction in the system
Warning lights and/or warning messages will turn on. (P. 519)
