High traction mode.
This mode excels at
rough road driving and
escape from stuck condi-
tions, in addition, realizes
strong 4WD driving from
low speed to high speed
on ordinary road.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv-
ing skills.
Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation”
section on page 6-52 and take care to drive
safety.
