Automatic system cancelation

In the following situations, the Multi-terrain Select indicator will go off, and Multi-terrain

Select will be canceled automatically.

●

When the four-wheel drive control switch is in H4.

●

When Active TRAC and VSC are off.

■

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.

Drivability can be improved by selecting a mode which provides a smaller amount of tire

slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slippage is large, or conversely

selecting a mode which provides a larger amount of tire slippage than the current mode

when the amount of tire slippage is small.

WARNING

■

When using the Multi-terrain Monitor system

Observe the following precautions to avoid an accident that could result in death or

serious injuries.

●

Never rely solely on the Multi-terrain Monitor. As with unequipped vehicles, drive

carefully while directly confirming the safety of your surroundings and the area to the

rear of the vehicle. Take particular care to avoid parked cars and other obstacles.

●

Due to the characteristics of the camera lens, the actual position and distance of peo-

ple and other obstacles will differ from those shown on the Multi-terrain Monitor

screen. Directly confirm the safety of your surroundings before driving.

●

Do not drive while only looking at the screen. When driving, make sure to directly

confirm the safety of your surroundings, such as by visually checking the area and

using the vehicle’s mirrors.

●

In low temperatures, the screen may darken or the images may become faint.

Images of moving objects in particular may distort or disappear from the screen.

Therefore, make sure to drive carefully while directly visually confirming the safety of

your surroundings.
