tion
E00616901314
The Active Stability Control function is de- signed to help the driver maintain control of the vehicle on slippery roads or during rapid
steering manoeuvres. It works by controlling the engine output and brake on each wheel.
NOTEl The Active Stability Control function does
not operate when the drive mode-selector isin 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 Select
4WD), “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position (Su-
per Select 4WD II), setting the drive mode- selector to the “4L” (Easy Select 4WD), “4LLc” position (Super Select 4WD II) posi-
tion makes the Active Stability Control func-
tion deactivate automatically.
l The Active Stability Control function oper-
ates at speeds of about 15 km/h (9 mph) or
higher.
l On vehicles with the rear differential lock,
the Active Stability Control function does not operate when the rear differential lock is
activated.“ASC OFF” switch

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 op- eration of the ASTC prevents the engine
speed from increasing in response to depres- sion of the accelerator pedal. If this happensand the vehicle remains stuck as a result, place the drive mode-selector in the “4L” po-
sition (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 controlof the active traction control function is still
working to prevent wheel spins when ASC OFF switch “OFF”, “4L” position (Easy Se- lect 4WD) or “4LLc” position (Super Select4WD II) selected.)
NOTEl If you continue to press the “ASC OFF”
switch after the Active Stability Control
function is turned off, the “mistaken opera- tion protection function” will activate and the Active Stability Control function will
turn back on.

CAUTIONlWhen
indication lamp blinks, Active Sta-
bility Control function or active traction con-
trol function is operating, which means that
the road is slippery or that your vehicle’s
wheels are beginning to slip. If this happens, drive slower with less accelerator input.
l If an abnormal condition occurs in the sys-
tem while driving, the
indication lamp
will illuminate.
In these cases, follow these procedures:
• If the temperature in the braking system
continues to increase due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
the
indication lamp will blink, and op-
eration of the active traction control func-
tion will be suspended to protect the brake
system. (The engine control of the active traction control function and normal brake
operation will not be affected.) Park your vehicle in a safe place. When the tempera-
ture in the braking system has come
down, the
indication lamp will go off
and the Active Stability Control function and active traction control function willstart operating again.
CAUTION• If the indication lamp does not go out
even though the above procedure is fol-
lowed, there could be a problem in the system.
Stop the engine and start the engine again
and check whether the
indication lamp
goes out. If the indication lamp goes out, there is no abnormal condition.
If the
indication lamp illuminates even
after your vehicle is driven a short dis-
tance after re-starting the engine, we rec-
ommend you to have your vehicle checked as soon as possible.
l If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position or the operation
mode in ON and only the front wheels or on- ly the rear wheels raised off the ground, the
ASTC may operate, resulting in an accident.
When towing the vehicle with the front wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “LOCK” or “ACC” position or the operation
mode in ACC or OFF. When towing the ve-
hicle with the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition switch in the “ACC” position or theoperation mode in ACC.

E00633201110
The Speed Limiter is a driver assist functionto prevent from exceeding the speed set by
driver while engine power control.
CAUTIONl Because the system does not use service
brake (hydraulic brake), the vehicle speed may exceed the set speed on the downhill.
If a driver wants to keep the vehicle speed in such a situation, he/she must put on a servicebrake or downshift.NOTEl If the clutch pedal
(M/T) is depressed, the
Speed Limiter does not activate.If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed,
control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limit-
er’s symbol will blink in the combination me-
ter.
If the vehicle speed exceeds the set speed af- ter indicated control state “LIMIT” and the
Speed Limiter’s symbol, beep alert will sound a certain period of time.
While running without blinked control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol, if
you decrease the set speed and vehicle speed is more than set speed, control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol blinking
starts but beep alert is delayed.
In this case, when vehicle speed keeps ex- ceeding set speed for about 30 seconds after
control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limit- er’s symbol are blinked, beep alert will sound
a certain period of time.
If the vehicle speeds decreases less than set
speeds, control state “LIMIT” and the Speed Limiter’s symbol stop blinking. When beep
alert is sounding, the beep alert also goes off.NOTEl However, this gives priority to audio and
visual signal of safety reasons or driver’s de-mand.
l If the set speed is too lower based on current
shift position, the Speed Limiter may not
limit the vehicle speed to prevent engine stall.Speed Limiter control switches

move the gearshift lever or the selector lever to any other position, the screen will return toits original indication.
CAUTIONl The rear-view camera has a special lens that
can make objects shown on the screen ap- pear to be closer or further away than they
actually are.NOTEl Because the rear-view camera has a special
lens, the lines on the ground between park-
ing spaces may not look parallel on the screen.
l In the following situations, the screen indi-
cation may be difficult to see. There is no abnormality.
• Low light (nighttime).NOTE•When the light of the sun or the light from
a vehicle’s headlamps shines directly into
the lens.
• If a fluorescent light shines directly into
the lens, the screen indication may be
flicker.
There is no abnormality.
l If the camera is hot and is then cooled by
rain or a car wash, the lens can mist up. This
phenomenon does not indicate a malfunc- tion.
l If the atmospheric temperature is extremely
hot or extremely cold, the rear-view camera
images may not be clear.
There is no abnormality.
l If a radio set is installed near the camera, the
rear-view camera images may cause electri- cal system interference and the system may
stop functioning properly.
l It is not possible to fully see obstacles when
the lens is dirty. If the lens becomes conta-
minated by water droplets, snow, mud or oil, wipe off the contamination, taking care not
to scratch the lens.
l Please observe the following cautions. Ig-
noring them could lead to a camera malfunc-tion.

Operating hints
l Have your vehicle serviced prior to tow-
ing a heavy trailer, taking particular care
of the state of engine tune, the condition of brakes, steering and tyres.
Adjust tyre pressures to those specifica- tions at trailer towing.
(Refer to “tyre inflation pressures” on
page 10-12.)
Check the tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the trailer.
l Leave plenty of room between the front
of your vehicle and the preceding vehi- cle.
If the trailer begins to sway or becomes difficult to handle, gently slow down or
apply the independent trailer brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes. Stop the
vehicle and trailer in a safe location.
One cause of swaying is poor trailer bal-
ance and until this has been overcome the swaying will recur. Relocated the load in your trailer and re-assess the problem.
l Be sure that the driving speed does not
exceed 100 km/h (62 mph) for trailer op-
eration.
It is also recommended that you obey the
local regulations in case driving speed with a trailer is limited to less than
100 km/h (62 mph).
l To prevent the clutch from slipping (ve-
hicle with a M/T only), do not rev the
engine more than is required when start-
ing off.
l To prevent shocks from the overrun
brake, depress the brake pedal lightly at
first and then more strongly.
l To make full use of engine braking,
change to a lower gear before descend-
ing a slope.
l The body, brakes, clutch, and chassis
will be under additional strain when
towing a trailer.
l The heavier weight and higher rolling
and air resistance will increase fuel con- sumption.
Additional precautions for vehi-
cles equipped with A/T
It is recommended to use a lower gear in
sports mode on slopes or at low speed, taking care to keep the engine speed below the red
zone.
