1 Normal mode
Provides an optimal balance of
dynamic performance. Suitable for city
driving.
Press the switch to change the driving
mode to normal mode when not in nor-
mal mode.
2 Sport mode
Controls the driving force to distribute
more to the rear wheels, allowing the
vehicle to behave more crispy by steer-
ing wheel operation.

Equally distributes the driving force
among the 4 wheels, maximizing the
Active Torque Split AWD system. Suit-
able for driving on racing circuits.
■Automatic deactivation of sport mode and track mode
If the engine switch is turned off after
AWD mode select switch
The following modes can be
selected to suit the driving and

■If “Exhaust Filter Full See Owner’s Manual” is shown on the multi-
information display
●The message may be displayed while
high load driving with particulate mat- ter accumulating.
●Engine output (engine speed) is restricted when a certain amount of particulate matter accumulates, how-
ever, it is possible to drive the vehicle unless the malfunction indicator lamp comes on.
●Particulate matter can accumulate more quickly if the vehicle is fre-
quently driven short trips or at low speeds, or if the engine is regularly started in an extremely cold environ-
ment. Excessive accumulation of par- ticulate matter can be prevented by periodically driving long distances
continuously with intermittent releas- ing of the accelerator pedal, such as when driving on highways and free-
ways.
■If the malfunction indicator lamp comes on or “Engine Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer” is
shown on the multi-information display
The amount of accumulated particulate
matter has exceeded a certain level. Have the vehicle inspected by any
GPF (Gasoline Particu-
late Filter) system*
The GPF system collects par-
ticulate matter in the exhaust
gas by using an exhaust gas
filter.
The system will operate to
regenerate the filter automati-
cally, depending on the vehicle
conditions.

■ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when
the brakes are applied suddenly, or
if the brakes are applied while driv-
ing on a slippery road surface
■Brake assist
Generates an increased level of
braking force after the brake pedal
is depressed when the system
detects a panic stop situation
■VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding
when swerving suddenly or turning
on slippery road surfaces.
■VSC+ (Vehicle Stability Con-
trol+)
Provides cooperative control of the
ABS, TRC, VSC and EPS.
Helps to maintain directional stabil-
ity when swerving on slippery road
surfaces by controlling steering per-
formance.
NOTICE
■To prevent the GPF system from
not operating properly
●Do not use fuel other than the spec- ified type
●Do not modify the exhaust pipes
Driving assist systems
To keep driving safety and per-
formance, the following sys-
tems operate automatically in
response to various driving sit-
uations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supple-
mentary and should not be
relied upon too heavily when
operating the vehicle.
Summary of the driving
assist systems

4-5. Using the driving support systems
■TRC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and
prevent the drive wheels from spin-
ning when starting the vehicle or
accelerating on slippery roads
■Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward
movement of the vehicle when
starting on an uphill
■EPS (Electric Power Steering)
Employs an electric motor to
reduce the amount of effort needed
to turn the steering wheel.
■Active Torque Split AWD sys-
tem
Automatically switches from front-
wheel drive to all-wheel drive
(AWD) according to the driving con-
ditions, helping to ensure reliable
handling and stability. Examples of
conditions where the system will
switch to AWD are when cornering,
going uphill, starting off or acceler-
ating, and when the road surface is
slippery due to snow, rain, etc.
■Emergency brake signal
When the brakes are applied sud-
denly, the emergency flashers auto-
matically flash to alert the vehicle
behind.
■The secondary Collision Brake
(if equipped)
When the SRS airbag sensor
detects a collision and the system
operates, the brakes and brake
lights are automatically controlled
to reduce the vehicle speed and
help reduce the possibility of further
damage due to a secondary colli-
sion.
■When the TRC/VSC systems are operating
The slip indicator light will flash while the
TRC/VSC systems are operating.
■Disabling the TRC system
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, dirt or
snow, the TRC system may reduce
power from the engine to the wheels.

play. ( P.169)
■Expert mode
When expert mode is selected, it is pos- sible to drive in a more sporty manner
than other drive modes. Expert mode disables the TRC and VSC systems but the engine and brakes may be con-
trolled depending on the vehicle behav- ior.
To select expert mode, press when

starting off forward on an upward incline, or the shift lever is shifted to other than R when starting off back-
ward on an upward incline.
●The accelerator pedal is depressed
●The parking brake is engaged
●2 seconds at maximum elapsed after the brake pedal is released
●Engine switch is turned to OFF
■Sounds and vibrations caused by the ABS, brake assist, VSC, TRC and hill-start assist control sys-
tems
●A sound may be heard from the
engine compartment when the brake pedal is depressed repeatedly, when the engine is started or just after the
vehicle begins to move. This sound does not indicate that a malfunction has occurred in any of these systems.
●Any of the following conditions may occur when the above systems are
operating. None of these indicates that a malfunction has occurred.• Vibrations may be felt through the
vehicle body and steering.
• A motor sound may be heard also after the vehicle comes to a stop.• The brake pedal may pulsate slightly
after the ABS is activated. • The brake pedal may move down slightly after the ABS is activated.
■EPS operation sound
When the steering wheel is operated, a motor sound (whirring sound) may be heard. This does not indicate a malfunc-
tion.
■Automatic reactivation of TRC and VSC systems
After turning the TRC and VSC systems
off, the systems will be automatically re- enabled in the following situations:
●When the engine switch is turned off
●If only the TRC system is turned off,
the TRC will turn on when vehicle speed increases.If both the TRC and VSC systems are
turned off, automatic re-enabling will not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■Reduced effectiveness of the EPS
system
The effectiveness of the EPS system is reduced to prevent the system from
overheating when there is frequent steering input over an extended period of time. The steering wheel may feel
heavy as a result. Should this occur, refrain from excessive steering input or stop the vehicle and turn the engine off.
The EPS system should return to nor- mal within 10 minutes.
