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
