On snowy or icy roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD AUTO” or “4WD
LOCK” in accordance with the road conditions, and then grad-
ually depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start.
NOTE
●
The use of snow tyres is recommended.
●
Maintain a safe distance between vehicles, avoid sudden
braking, and use engine braking (downshifting).
Driving on sandy or muddy roads
Set the drive mode-selector to “4WD LOCK” and then gradu-
ally depress the accelerator pedal for a smooth start. Keep the
pressure on the accelerator pedal as constant as possible, and
drive at low speed.
CAUTION
!
●
Avoid sudden braking, sudden acceleration and
sharp turning. Skidding occurs and control of the
vehicle could be lost.
CAUTION
!
●
Do not force the vehicle or drive recklessly on sandy
surfaces. In comparison with normal road surfaces,
the engine and other drive-system components are
put under excessive strain when driving on such a
surface. This could lead to accidents.
●
If the engine coolant temperature display flashes
on the information screen in the multi-information
display or the engine power drops suddenly while
the vehicle is being driven, immediately park your
vehicle in a safe place.
Refer to “Engine overheating” on page 6-7 for
details and take the required measures.
WARNING
!
●
When attempting to rock your vehicle out of a stuck
position, be sure that the area around the vehicle is
clear of people and physical objects. The rocking
motion may cause the vehicle to suddenly launch
forward/backward, causing injury or damage to
nearby people or objects.
