If the ambient temperature is low, the selectorlever position display on the multi informa-tion display may blink when the selector lever is placed in the “D” (DRIVE), “Ds” ately after the engine has been started. This indicates that the tran
smission requires warm-
ing up. While the display is blinking, the vehicle will not move,
because the transmis-
sion keeps disengaging until the warm up is completed even if the selector lever is placed in the “D”, “Ds”, “L” or “R” position. When the selector le
ver position display is
blinking, perform th
e following procedure:
1. Depress the brake pedal with your right foot and place the se
lector lever in the
“N” (NEUTRAL) position for severalseconds. 2. Keep depressing the brake pedal and then place the selector lever in the “D” SPORTY DRIVING), “L” (LOW) or “R” (REVERSE) position. If the selector leverposition display stops
blinking, the warm
up is completed and the transmission will function normally.3. If the display is still
blinking, repeat steps
1 and 2 above.

Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” (Electronically controlled 4WD) or “LOCK” accelerator pedal for a
smooth start. Keep the
pressure on the accelera
tor pedal as constant
as possible, and drive at low speed.
Your vehicle may not pr
ovide sufficient hill

If the electrical circuits become wet, furtheroperation of the vehicl
e will be impossible;
therefore, avoid driv
ing through water unless
absolutely necessary. If driving through wateris unavoidable, use th
e following procedure:
Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Drive slowly to avoid creating excessive watersplashing.
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
CAUTION Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy surfaces. In comparison with nor-mal road surfaces, th
e engine and other
drive-system components are put under excessive strain when driving on such a sur-face. This could le
ad to accidents.
If any of the following conditions occur while the vehicle is
being driven, immedi-
ately park your vehicle
in a safe place and
follow these procedures:• If the engine coolan
t temperature display
flashes on the information screen in the multi-information di
splay or the engine
power drops suddenly.Refer to “Engine overh
eating” on page 8-4.
• If the “ ” warning
display and “SLOW

splay” on page 5-70,
5-78.WA R N I N G 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/backward, caus
ing injury or dam-
age to nearby people or objects.NOTE
 Avoid sudden braking,
sudden acceleration
and sharp turning; such operations could result in the vehicle becoming stuck.  If the vehicle become
s stuck in sandy or
muddy roads, it can often be moved with arocking motion. Move the selector lever alternately between the

Overuse of the brake can cause weakening, resulting in poor brake response and prema- ture wear of the brake pads. When driving down a long or steep hill, useengine braking
by downshifting.
N00517600364
Your vehicle is equipped with power brakes for more braking force with less brake pedal effort.Your brakes are designed to operate at full capacity, even if the power assist is not being used.If the power assist is not being used, the effort needed to press the brake pedal is greater. If you should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work. If the power brake unit or either of the two brake hydraulic systems stops working prop-erly, the rest of the brake system will still work, but the vehicle will not slow down as quickly.You will know this has happened if you find you need to press the brake down farther, or harder when slowing down or stopping, or ifthe brake warning light and the warning dis- play in the multi-information display come on.
To w i n g
CAUTION Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with the front or rear wheels on the ground (Type A or Type B) as illustrate
d. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use TypeC or Type D equipment. Even in “4WD ECO” (Electronically con- trolled 4WD) or “AWC ECO” (S-AWC) drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towed with the front or the rear wheels on theground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N G Do not crank the engine while jacking up the vehicle. The tire on the ground may turn and thevehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N G Do not leave any objects near the brake pedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedal stroke that would be necessary in an emergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make sure the floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTION It is important not to drive the vehicle with your foot resting on the brake pedal whenbraking is not required.
This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre- mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.

NOTE
 The skid control func
tion operates
at speeds
of about 9 mph (15 km/h) or higher.
ASC OFF switch
CAUTION For safety reasons, the ASC OFF switch should be operated when your vehicle isstopped.  Be sure to keep the ASC on while driving in normal circumstances.NOTE
 Using the ASC OFF switch turns off both the stability control func
tion and the traction
control function.  When moving out of mud, sand or fresh snow, pressing the accelerator pedal may not allow the engine speed to increase. In suchsituations, temporarily turning off ASC with the ASC OFF switch will make it easier to move out your vehicle.  If you continue to pre
ss the ASC OFF switch
after the ASC is turned off, the “mistakenoperation protection f
unction” wi
ll activate
and the ASC will turn back on.

ASC OFF indicator This indicator will turn on when the ASC is turned off with the ASC OFFswitch.
CAUTION When display/indicator blinks, ASC is operating, which means th
at the road is slip-
pery or that your vehicle’s wheels are begin- ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower. If the temperature in the braking system con- tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery road surface, the indicator will blink. To prevent the brake system from overheat- ing, the brake control of the traction control function will be te
mporarily suspended.
The engine control of
the traction control
function and normal br
ake operation will not
be affected.Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the temperature in the braking system has come down, the indicator will be turned off and the traction control function will start operat- ing again.
