system.
■ Shifting to “4L”
VSC is automatically turned off.
■ Four-wheel drive usage frequency
You should drive in four-wheel drive for at least 10 miles (16 km) each month.
This will assure that the front drive components are lubricated.
WARNING
■Caution while driving
● Never shift the front-wheel drive control switch from “2WD” to “4H” if the
wheels are slipping.
Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting.
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, use “2WD” pos ition.
Driving on dry and hard surface roads in “4H” or “4L” position may cause
drive component oil leakage, seizure, or other problems resulti ng in an
accident. Further, it may cause tire wear and increased fuel consumption.
● Avoid turning suddenly in “4H” or “4L” position. If you do turn suddenly, the
difference in turning speeds between the front and rear wheels may have
a similar effect to braking, thus making driving difficult.
● Do not shift the front-wheel drive control switch when the vehicle is turning
or when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.

Driving
Operate the Multi-terrain Select
mode selector dial during Multi-
terrain Select control to select a
mode.
■The Multi-terrain Select can be operated when
●The four-wheel drive control switch is in “4L” position.
● The Crawl Control is off.
■ When using the Multi-terrain Select
The VSC system cannot be switched on or off.
A message will be shown on the multi-information display statin g that this
function cannot be switched using the VSC off switch.
■ When it is difficult to generate traction
“MUD & SAND” mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed
by “LOOSE ROCK”, “MOGUL”, “ROCK & DIRT” and “ROCK” mode.
If the current tires slip is too large, driveability can be imp roved by selecting a
mode with a smaller slip amount. Conversely, selecting a mode with a larger
slip can improve driveability, if the current tire slip is too small.
■ When the vehicle is stuck
