4-5. Using the driving support systems
This mode employs a radar sensor to detect the presence of vehicles
up to approximately 328 ft. (100 m) ahead, determines the current
vehicle-to-vehicle following distance, and operates to maintain a suit-
able following distance from the vehicle ahead.
Note that vehicle-to-vehicle distance will close in when traveling on long
downhill slopes.
Example of constant speed cruising
When there are no vehicles ahead
The vehicle travels at the speed set by the driver. The desired vehicle-to-
vehicle distance can also be set by operating the vehicle-to-vehicle dis-
tance switch.
Example of deceleration cruising and follow-up cruising
When a preceding vehicle driving slower than the set speed
appears
When a vehicle is detected running ahead of you, the system automatically
decelerates your vehicle. When a greater reduction in vehicle speed is
necessary, the system applies the brakes (the stop lights will come on at
this time). The system will respond to changes in the speed of the vehicle
ahead in order to maintain the vehicle-to-vehicle distance set by the driver.
Approach warning warns you when the system cannot decelerate suffi-
ciently to prevent your vehicle from closing in on the vehicle ahead.
Example of acceleration
When there are no longer any preceding vehicles driving slower
than the set speed
The system accelerates until the set speed is reached. The system then
returns to constant speed cruising.

■The four-wheel drive control switch can be operated when
● The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The shift lever is in the N position.
● The vehicle is stopped completely.
■ The low speed four-wheel drive indicator light
The indicator light blinks while shifting between H4 and L4.
■ Advice for driving on slippery roads
●If you shift the four-wheel drive control switch to L4 and the shift lever to the
2 range of S while driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the brake
can be controlled effectively by the Active TRAC, which assists the driver to
control the driving power of 4 wheels.
● Use the 1 range of S of the shift lever for maximum power and traction when
your wheels get stuck or when driving down a steep incline.
■ The center differential lock indicator light
The indicator light blinks while locking/unlocking the center differential.
■ The center differential lock/unlock switch can be operated when
●The engine switch is in IGNITION ON mode.
● The vehicle speed is less than 62 mph (100 km/h).
■ Locking/unlocking the center differential
●When the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 with the center differential
locked, VSC is automatically turned off. (The center differential lock and
VSC OFF indicator lights come on.)
● If the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks.
If the indicator light does not turn off when unlocking the center differential,
drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
● If the center differential lock/unlock is not completed within 5 seconds while
the cruise control system is on, cancel the cruise control system.
■ If the low speed four-wheel drive indi cator light or the center differential
lock indicator light blinks
● If the low speed four-wheel drive indicator light continues to blink when
using the four-wheel drive control switch, stop the vehicle completely, move
the shift lever to N and operate the switch again.
● If the shift lever is moved before the low speed four-wheel drive indicator
turns on/off, the transfer mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer
mode disengages both the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain
and allows the vehicle to move regardless of the shift position. (At this time,
the indicator blinks and the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic transmission is in
P. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode.
To complete the shifting, stop the vehicle completely, return the shift lever to
N, and confirm that the shift was completed (the indicator turns on/off).

■When depressing the accelerator pedal while the Crawl Control is oper-
ating
Multi-terrain Select operates in AUTO mode. ( →P. 296)
■ 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 are indicators 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. 518, 527)
WARNING
■When using Crawl Control
Do not rely solely on the Crawl Control. This function does not extend the
vehicle’s performance limitations. Always thoroughly check the road condi-
tions, and drive safely.
■ These conditions may cause the syst em not to operate properly
When driving on the following surfaces, the system may not be able to
maintain a fixed low speed, which may result in an accident:
● Extremely steep inclines.
● Extremely uneven surfaces.
● Snow-covered roads, or other slippery surfaces.
NOTICE
■When using Turn Assist function
The Turn Assist function is a function to assist turning performance when
driving off road. The function may be less effective on paved road surfaces.
