NOTElThe use of snow tyres and/or tyre chains is
recommended.
l Maintain a safe distance between vehicles,
avoid sudden braking, and use engine brak-
ing (downshifting).CAUTIONl Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration,
and sharp turning; such operations could
cause skidding and spinouts.
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.
CAUTIONl Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly
on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor- mal road surfaces, the engine and other
drive-system components are put under ex-
cessive strain when driving on such a sur-
face, and this could lead to accidents.CAUTIONl If any of following conditions occur while
the vehicle is being driven, immediately
park your vehicle in a safe place and follow these procedures:
• The needle in the temperature gauge ap-
proaches the overheating zone.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 8-09.
• Automatic transmission fluid temperature
warning lamp comes on.
Refer to “When the A/T (automatic trans-
mission) fluid temperature warning lamp comes on” on page 6-34.WARNINGl When attempting to rock your vehicle out
of a stuck position, be sure that the area
around the vehicle is clear of people and physical objects. The rocking motion may
cause the vehicle to suddenly launch for- ward or backward, causing injury or damage to nearby people or objects.NOTEl Avoid sudden braking, acceleration, and
turning; such operations could result in thevehicle becoming stuck.NOTEl If the vehicle becomes stuck in sandy or
muddy roads, it can often be moved a rock-
ing motion. Move the selector lever rhythmi-
cally between the “D” (DRIVE) and “R”
(REVERSE) position (with M/T, between 1 st
and Reverse), while applying slight pressure to the accelerator pedal.
l 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.
l If it is necessary to drive in extremely mud-
dy conditions, the use of tyre chains is rec-
ommended. Because the extent of muddy conditions is difficult to judge and the vehi-
cle could become bogged down very deeply,
operation should be at a low speed. If possi- ble, get out of the vehicle and check the con-
ditions ahead before proceeding.
l 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 tor-
que.

Emergency startingE00800504132
If the engine cannot be started because the battery is weak or dead, the battery from an-other vehicle can be used with jumper cables to start the engine.WARNINGl To start the engine using jumper cables
connected from another vehicle, perform the correct procedures according to theinstruction below. Incorrect procedures
could result in a fire or explosion or dam- age to the vehicles.
l Keep sparks, cigarettes and flames away
from the battery because the battery may produce an explosion.CAUTIONl Do not attempt to start the engine by pulling
or pushing the vehicle.
It could damage your vehicle.
l Check the other vehicle. It must have a 12-
volt battery.
If the other system isn’t 12-volt, shorting can
damage both vehicles.
l Use the proper cables suitable for the battery
size to prevent overheating of the cables.
l Check the jumper cables for damage and
corrosion before use.CAUTIONl Always wear protective eye goggles when
working near the battery.
l Keep the battery out of the reach of children.
1.
Get the vehicles close enough so the
jumper cables can reach, but be sure the vehicles aren’t touching each other.
2. Turn off all lamps, heater and other elec-
trical loads.
3. Set the parking brake firmly on each ve-
hicle. Put an automatic transmission in “P” (PARK) or a manual transmission in
“N” (Neutral). Stop the engine.
WARNINGl Turn off the ignition on both vehicles be-
forehand. Make sure that the cables or your clothes cannot be caught by the fan or drive belt. Personal injury could result.
4. Make sure battery electrolyte is at the
proper level.
Refer to “Battery” on page 10-10.
WARNINGl If electrolyte fluid is not visible, or ap-
pears to be frozen, Do Not Attempt Jump Starting!
A battery might rupture or explode if the temperature is below the freezing point orif it is not filled to the proper level.
l Electrolyte is corrosive diluted sulphuric
acid.
If electrolyte (battery acid) comes into contact with your hands, eyes, clothes and
the painted surface of your vehicle, it
should be thoroughly flushed with water. If electrolyte gets in your eyes, flush them with water immediately and thoroughly,and get prompt medical attention.
5. Connect one end of one jumper cable
to the positive (+) terminal of the dis-
charged battery (A), and the other end
to the positive (+) terminal of the
booster battery (B).
Connect one end of the other jumper ca-
ble
to the negative ( −) terminal of the
booster battery (B), and the other end
to the engine block of the vehicle with
the discharged battery at the point far- thest from the battery.
