3-1. Using off-road driving systems
■
When the Crawl Control system is operated continuously
This may cause the brake actuator to overheat. In this case, the Crawl Con-
trol system will stop operating, a buzzer will sound, the Crawl Control indica-
tor will turn off after flashing and the TRC OFF will be shown on the multi-
information display. In this case, quickly stop the vehicle in a safe place and
give the actuator adequate time to cool off. Refrain from using the system
until the message goes off. (The vehicle can be driven normally during this
time.)
■
If the automatic transmission system overheats
The system will cease operation, a buzzer will sound and a warning mes-
sage will be displayed to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in a safe place until
the warning message turns off. (→Refer to the "Owner's Manual")
