Electronic Stability Control function
The electronic stability control function
is designed to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle on slippery roads
or during rapid steering maneuvers. It
works by controlling the engine output
and the brake on each wheel.
NOTE The electronic stability control
function does not operate when the
drive mode-selector is in the “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super select 4WD II). When
the electronic stability control function is
operating with the drive mode-selector
in the “2H” or “4H” position (Easy select
4WD), “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position
(Super select 4WD II), setting the drive
mode-selector to the “4L” (Easy select
4WD), “4LLc” position (Super select
4WD II) position makes the electronic
stability control function deactivate
automatically.
NOTE The electronic stability control
function operates at speeds of about
15 km/h or higher.
NOTE On vehicles with the rear
differential lock, the electronic stability
control function does not operate when
the rear differential lock is activated.
“ESC OFF” switch
The electronic stability control function
is automatically activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in
ON. You can deactivate the system by
pressing down the “ESC OFF” switch
for 3 seconds or longer.
When the electronic stability control
function is deactivated, the
indicator
will turn on. To reactivate the ESC,
momentarily press the “ESC OFF”
switch; the indicator
is turned off.

Driving hints
When extricating the vehicle from mud,
sand or fresh snow with the drive
mode-selector in the “2H”or
“4H”position (Easy select 4WD) or “2H”,
“4H” or “4HLc” position (Super select
4WD II), you may find that operation of
the ESC prevents the engine speed
from increasing in response to
depression of the accelerator pedal. If
this happens and the vehicle remains
stuck as a result, place the drive
mode-selector in the “4L” position
(Easy select 4WD), “4LLc” position
(Super select 4WD II), or turn the
electronic stability control switch OFF.
The vehicle will then be easier to
extricate. (Brake control of the active
traction control function is still working
to prevent wheel spins when the ESC
OFF switch is “OFF”, “4L” position
(Easy select 4WD) or “4LLc” position
