2-4. Using other driving systems
Advice for driving on slippery roads in "L" (low speed position)
■
If you shift the four-wheel drive control lever to "L" and the shift lever to "2" while
●
driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the brake can be controlled effec-
tively by the active traction control system, which assists the driver to control the
driving power of 4 wheels.
Use the "L" position of the shift lever for maximum power and traction when
●
your wheels get stuck or when you drive down a steep incline. In the following
cases, the output of the brake can be controlled by the active traction control
system if the engine speed is under 3,000 rpm (normally under 3,000 rpm
when the wheels get unstuck).
• The four-wheel drive control lever in the "L" position and the shift lever in the
"L" position or the shift lever in the "D", "4", "3" or "2" with the transmission
downshifting to first gear.
• The four-wheel drive control lever in the "L" position and the shift lever in the
"R" position.
The center differential lock/unlock button can be operated when
■
The ignition key is in the "ON" position, and
●
The four-wheel drive control lever is in the "H" or "L" position.
●
Locking /unlocking the center differential
■
When the center differential is locked, VSC (vehicle stability control) is auto-
●
matically turned off. (Center differential lock and "VSC OFF" indicator light
come on.)
When the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator
●
blinks. If the indicator light does not go off when unlocking the center differen-
tial, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse.
The center differential lock system operation is not completed within 5 seconds
●
while the cruise control system is set, cancel the cruise control system.
