■ Multi-terrain Select
● Multi-terrain Select is intended for
use when driving on rough roads.
Drive in normal mode during nor-
mal driving.
● The Mud & Sand and Rock & Dirt
modes control the vehicle so that
it can maximize the drive force
and improve drivability on rough
roads. As a result, fuel efficiency
may diminish when compared to
driving in normal mode.
■ If Mud & Sand or Rock & Dirt
mode is selected
● The background of the multi-infor-
mation display will change follow-
ing the Multi-terrain Select mode.
● The AWD operation status display
will automatically switch on the
multi-information display.

● Rock & Dirt mode: Vehicle speed
