∙ Use the E-lock system only in anemergency when it is not possible to
free a stuck vehicle even using 4LO.
Never use the E-Lock system on a slip-
pery road surface such as snow or ice
surface. Using the E-Lock system
when driving in these road conditions
may cause unexpected movement of
the vehicle during engine braking, ac-
celerating or turning, which may re-
sult in an accident and serious per-
sonal injury.
∙ Observe the above warnings. Other- wise, loss of normal steering control
may result. This may result in an acci-
dent and serious personal injury.
CAUTION
∙ Af ter using the E-Lock system, or dur-ing normal driving, turn the switch
OFF to prevent possible damage to
drivetrain components from ex-
tended use.
∙ When the E-Lock system is in opera- tion, turning the vehicle becomes dif-
ficult. This can be dangerous, espe-
cially at high speeds. Doing so could
damage drivetrain components. ∙ Do not operate the E-Lock system
when the vehicle is turning or when
one side wheel is rotating. Otherwise,
the drivetrain components could be
damaged.
∙ The E-Lock system operates only when the engine is running.
∙ In 4H mode, the E-Lock system does not operate when the E-Lock system
switch is turned to the ON position.
(The E-Lock system indicator light will
flash.)
∙ Avoid quick starts while the E-Lock system is in operation. Otherwise the
drivetrain components could be
damaged.
∙ Observe the above cautions. Other- wise, loss of normal steering may
result. To use the outlets for devices that require
120v power, place the ignition in the ON
position and push the power inverter
switch.
The 400W or 150W on the switch will illumi-
nate according to the mode selected. Only
the 150W is available when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position and the

The Front and rear sonar system OFF
switch on the instrument panel allows the
driver to turn the Front and rear sonar sys-
tem, Moving Object Detection (MOD) (if so
equipped), and Rear Cross Traffic Alert
(RCTA) system on and off. To turn the sys-
tems on and off, the ignition switch must
be in the ON position.
The indicator light on the switch will illumi-
nate when the systems are turned on.
If the indicator light flashes when the Front
and rear sonar system, MOD (if so
equipped), or RCTA systems are not turned
off, it may indicate a malfunction in one or
more of these systems. The Front and rear sonar system, MOD (if so
equipped), or RCTA systems will be turned
on automatically under the following con-
ditions:
∙ When the ignition switch is switched from the OFF position to the ON posi-
tion.
∙ When the shif t lever is shif ted into the R (Reverse) position.
∙ When the vehicle speed increases to 6 mph (10 km/h) and decreases.
The automatic turning on function can be
turned on and off for these systems in the
vehicle information display. For additional
information, refer to “Settings” in the “In-
strument and controls” section of this
manual.
