An operation noise is emitted from the
engine compartment or feel a shock
from the brake pedal when start driving
immediately after starting the engine.
These are normal sound or operation
that the ABS makes when performing a
self-check. It does not indicate a
malfunction.
The ABS can be used after the vehicle
has reached a speed over
approximately 10 km/h. It stops
working when the vehicle slows below
7 km/h.

After driving on icy roads
After driving on snow or icy roads,
remove any snow and ice which may
have be left around the wheels. On
vehicles that have an ABS, be careful
not to damage the wheel speed
sensors (A) or the cables located at
each wheel.Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
(where provided)
The Electronic Stability Control (ESC)
takes overall control of the anti-lock
brake system, active stability control
function and active traction control
function to help maintain the vehicle’s
control and traction. Please read this
section in conjunction with the page on
the anti-lock brake system, active
stability control function and active
traction control function.
217) 218) 219) 220)
NOTE An operation noise may be
emitted from the engine compartment
in the following situations. The sound is
associated with checking the
operations of the ESC. At this time, you
may feel a shock from the brake pedal if
you depress it. These do not indicate a
malfunction:
When the ignition switch is set to the
“ON” position or the operation mode is
put in ON.
When the vehicle is driven for a while
after the engine is turned on.
NOTE When the ESC is activated, you
may feel a vibration in the vehicle body
or hear a whining sound from the
engine compartment. This indicates
that the system is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.NOTE When the anti-lock brake
system warning lamp is illuminated, the
ESC is not active.
NOTE On vehicles with the rear
differential lock, the ESC and ABS
functions are suspended while the rear
differential lock is activated. ESC
indicator lamp, ESC OFF indicator lamp
and ABS warning lamp are illuminated
while these functions are suspended. It
does not indicate a problem. When the
rear differential lock is disengaged,
these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to “ABS warning lamp” and “ESC
indicator lamp, ESC OFF indicator
lamp”.
Electronic Stability Control function
The electronic stability control function
is designed to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle on slippery roads
or during rapid steering maneuvers. It
works by controlling the engine output
and the brake on each wheel.

NOTE The electronic stability control
function does not operate when the
drive mode-selector is in the “4L”
position (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super Select 4WD II). When
the active stability control function is
operating with the drive mode-selector
in the “2H” or “4H” position (Easy

deactivate automatically.
NOTE The electronic stability control
function operates at speeds of about
15 km/h or higher.
NOTE On vehicles with the rear
differential lock, the electronic stability
control function does not operate when
the rear differential lock is activated.
“ESC OFF” switch
The electronic stability control function
is automatically activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in
ON. You can deactivate the system by
pressing down the “ESC OFF” switch
for 3 seconds or longer.
When the electronic stability control
function is deactivated, the

Driving hints
When extricating the vehicle from mud,
sand or fresh snow with the drive
mode-selector in the “2H”or
“4H”position (Easy Select 4WD) or
“2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position (Super
Select 4WD II), you may find that
operation of the ESC prevents the
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 drive mode-selector in the
“4L” position (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super Select 4WD II), or turn
the active stability control switch OFF.
The vehicle will then be easier to
extricate. (Brake control of the active
traction control function is still working
to prevent wheel spins when ESC OFF
switch “OFF”, “4L” position (Easy Select
4WD) or “4LLc” position (Super Select
4WD II) selected.)NOTE If you continue to press the
“ESC OFF” switch after the electronic
stability control function is turned off,
the “mistaken operation protection
function” will activate and the electronic
stability control function will turn back
on.
NOTE Even if the electronic stability
control function is turned off, it may
activate depending on the vehicle’s
movement.
Active Traction Control function
On slippery surfaces, the active traction
control function prevents the drive
wheels from spinning excessive, thus
helping the vehicle to start moving from
a stopped condition. It also provides
sufficient driving force and steering
performance as the vehicle turns while
pressing the acceleration pedal.
223)
WARNING
207)The brake assist system is not a
device designed to exercise braking force
greater than its capacity. Make sure to
always keep a sufficient distance between
vehicles in front of you without relying too
much on the brake assist system.
208)The ABS cannot prevent accidents. It
is your responsibility to take safety
precautions and to drive carefully.

209)To prevent failure of the ABS, be sure
all 4 wheels and tyres are the same size
and the same type.
210)Do not install any aftermarket limited
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
ABS may stop functioning properly.
211)The ABS exploits the grip available to
the full, but it cannot improve it. Therefore,
you should take great care when driving on
slippery surfaces, without taking
unnecessary risks.
212)When the ABS intervenes and you
notice the brake pedal pulsating, keep the
pedal pushed down and don’t be alarmed.
This will help you to stop in the shortest
distance possible, depending on the road
conditions.
213)If the ABS intervenes, it means you
have almost reached the grip limit between
the tyres and the road surface: slow down
to make sure that you drive in accordance
with the available grip.
214)The ABS cannot overrule the natural
laws of physics, and can’t increase the grip
available according to the condition of the
road.
215)The ABS cannot prevent accidents,
including those due to excessive speed on
corners, driving on low-grip surfaces or
aquaplaning.
216)The capability of the ABS must never
be tested irresponsibly and dangerously, in
such a way as to compromise personal
safety and the safety of others.217)Do not over-rely on the ESC. Even the
ESC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This
system, like any other system, has limits
and cannot help you to maintain traction
and control of the vehicle in all
circumstances. Reckless driving can lead
to accidents. It is the driver’s responsibility
to drive carefully. This means into account
the traffic, road and environmental
conditions.
218)The ESC system cannot prevent
accidents, including those due to excessive
speed on corners, driving on low-grip
surfaces or aquaplaning.
219)Be sure to use the same specified
type and size of tyre on all 4 wheels.
Otherwise, the ESC may not work
correctly.
220)Do not install any aftermarket limited
slip differential (LSD) on your vehicle. The
electronic stability control function may
stop functioning properly.
221)For safety reasons, the “ESC OFF”
switch should only be operated when the
vehicle is stopped.
222)Be sure to keep the electronic stability
control function on while driving in normal
circumstances.
223)When driving a vehicle on a snowy or
icy road, be sure to install snow tyres and
drive the vehicle at moderate speeds.AUXILIARY DRIVING
SYSTEMS
Hill Start Assist (where provided)
The hill start assist makes it easy to
start off on a steep uphill slope by
preventing the vehicle from moving
backwards. It keeps the braking force
for approximately seconds when you
move your foot from the brake pedal to
the accelerator pedal.
81) 82)
224) 225)
To operate
1. Stop the vehicle completely using the
brake pedal.
2. On vehicles equipped with M/T,
place the gearshift lever into the 1st
position. On vehicles equipped with
A/T, place the selector lever into the “D”
position.
NOTE When reversing on an uphill
slope, place the selector lever or
gearshift lever into the “R” position.
3. Release the brake pedal and the hill
start assist will maintain the braking
force applied while stopping for
approximately 2 seconds.
4. Depress the accelerator pedal and
the hill start assist gradually will
decrease the braking force as the
vehicle starts moving.

The 2WD/4WD operation indicator
lamp will blink during shifting process
from “4H” to “4L” or vice versa, as the
transfer passes through the neutral
position. Be sure to operate the drivemode-selector until the 2WD/4WD
operation indicator lamp illuminates
again.
When parking, apply the parking brake
before stopping the engine and make
sure that the 2WD/4WD operation
indicator and the low range lamp are
not blinking during shifting process
between “4H” <–> “4L”. Otherwise, the
vehicle could unexpectedly move even
if the automatic transmission is in the
“P” (PARK) position.
If, after a “4H” <–> “4L” selection has
been made, the 2WD/4WD operation
indicator continues blinking and the
desired range is not actually selected,
return the drive mode selector to its
previous position. Place the steering
wheel in the straight ahead position,
drive the vehicle forward, and release
the accelerator pedal. Next, hold down
the clutch pedal (with manual
transmission) or place the selector lever
in the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (with
automatic transmission) and make the
range selection again.
If the low range lamp blinks when you
attempt to make a “4H” <–> “4L”
selection, a “4H” <–> “4L” selection
cannot be made. Stop the vehicle and
release the accelerator pedal. Next,
hold down the clutch pedal (with
manual transmission) or place the
selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL)position (with automatic transmission)
and make the range selection again.
The ESC function is suspended while
“4L” is selected
indicator lamp is
illuminated while these functions are
suspended. It does not indicate a
problem. When “2H” or “4H” is
selected, this lamp goes out and
function again. Refer to “ESC indicator
lamp, ESC OFF indicator lamp”.
136)
IMPORTANT
133)The “4L” range gives maximum torque
for low-speed driving on steep slopes, as
well as sandy, muddy, and other difficult
surfaces. On vehicles with automatic
transmission, do not exceed speeds of
approximately 70 km/h in “4L” range.
134)Do not drive your vehicle in the “4H”
or “4L” on dry paved roads and highways.
Doing so may result in excessive tyre wear,
increased fuel consumption, and possible
noise generation. It may also increase the
differential oil temperature, which may
damage the drive system. Further, the drive
train will be subjected to excessive loading,
resulting in oil leakage, component seizure,
or other serious problems. On dry paved
roads and highways, drive the vehicle in
“2H” only.
135)Do not operate the drive
mode-selector while the rear wheels of the
vehicle are slipping on snow or ice.
