Dynamic radar cruise control
In vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode, the vehicle automatically
accelerates and decelerates to match the speed changes of the pre-
ceding vehicle even if the accelerator pedal is not depressed. In con-
stant speed control mode, the vehicle runs at a fixed speed.
Use the dynamic radar cruise control on freeways and highways.
● Vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode (P. 371)
● Constant speed control mode (P. 377)

When constant speed control mode is selected, your vehicle will main-
tain a set speed without controlling the vehicle-to-vehicle distance.
Select this mode only when vehicle-to-vehicle distance control mode
does not function correctly due to a dirty radar, etc.
With the cruise control off,
press and hold the “ON-OFF”
button for 1.5 seconds or more.
Immediately after the “ON-OFF”
button is pressed, the dynamic
radar cruise control indicator will
come on. Afterwards, it switches to
the cruise control indicator.
Switching to constant speed con-
trol mode is only possible when
operating the lever with the cruise
control off.
Accelerate or decelerate, with
accelerator pedal operation, to
the desired vehicle speed (at or
above approximately 30 km/h
[20 mph]) and push the lever
down to set the speed.

Four-wheel drive system
H2 (high speed position, two-
wheel drive)
Use this for normal driving on dry
hard-surfaced roads. This position
gives greater economy, quietest
ride and least wear.
H4 (high speed position, four-
wheel drive)
Use this for driving only on tracks
that permit the tires slide, like off-
road, icy or snow-covered roads.
This position provides greater trac-
tion than two-wheel drive.
The four-wheel drive indicator
light comes on
L4 (low speed position, four-
wheel drive)
Use this for maximum power and traction. Use L4 for climbing or descend-
ing steep hills, off-road driving, and hard pulling in sand, mud or deep
snow.
The four-wheel drive and low speed four-wheel drive indicator lights
come on
The A.D.D. can be engaged or disengaged by the shifting operations
described in the following shifting procedures.

■Shifting from H2 to H4
Reduce the vehicle speed to
less than 100 km/h (62 mph).
The transfer mode cannot be
switched if the vehicle speed is
more than 100 km/h (62 mph).
Turn the front-wheel drive
control switch to H4.
The four-wheel drive indicator
light flashes while switching.
If turning the front-wheel drive
control switch when the vehicle
speed is more than 100 km/h
(62 mph), the four-wheel drive
indicator light flashes and a
buzzer sounds.
Reduce the vehicle speed to less than 100 km/h (62 mph), or return the
front-wheel drive control switch to H2 and try step again.
Check that the four-wheel
drive indicator light comes on.
The four-wheel drive indicator
light comes on when switching
the transfer mode is completed.
If the four-wheel drive indicator
light does not stop flashing after
turning the front-wheel drive
control switch from H2 to H4,
perform any of the followings
while driving straight.
• Accelerating
• Decelerating
• Driving in reverse
The four-wheel drive indicator light may not stop flashing if the front-
wheel drive control switch is turned from H2 to H4 while the vehicle is
stopped. In this case, perform any of the followings.
• Driving forward
• Driving in reverse

• Accelerating
• Decelerating
• Driving in reverse
If the four-wheel drive indicator light is still flashing, perform the opera-
tions above while turning the steering wheel left and right.
Impact may be felt through the vehicle body and steering. However, this
does not indicate a malfunction.

■Shifting from H4 to L4
Stop the vehicle.
The transfer mode cannot be
switched if the vehicle is mov-
ing.
Shift the shift lever to N.
Keep the shift lever in N until
switching the transfer mode is
completed (indicator on).
The transfer mode cannot be

steps and , the low speed
four-wheel drive indicator light
flashes and a buzzer sounds.
Return the front-wheel drive
control switch to H4 and try
steps and again.
If the shift lever is shifted to other than N while the low speed four-wheel
drive indicator light is flashing, gear noise may be caused. Immediately
shift the shift lever to N and wait until switching the transfer mode is
completed.
