2-4. Using other driving systems
■
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 TRC and VSC are off.
●
When Crawl Control is on.
■
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 slip-
page is large, or conversely selecting a mode which provides a larger
amount of tire slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slip-
page is small.
■
When the vehicle is stuck
Switching the transfer and differential
For the operation of the following functions, refer to the following pages.
●
Four-wheel drive system (→P. 269)
●
Center differential lock (→P. 269)
■
When the brake system operates continuously
The brake system may overheat. In this case, a buzzer will sound, either the
TRC OFF indicator will flash or "TRC OFF" will be displayed on the multi-
information display, and Multi-terrain Select will be temporarily inoperable. In
this event, stop the vehicle immediately in a safe place, and allow the brake
system to cool down sufficiently until the indicators go off. (There is no prob-
lem with continuing normal driving.)
After a short time, the TRC OFF indicator or the message on the multi-infor-
mation display will go off, and you will be able to use Multi-terrain Select.
■
When there is a malfunction in the system
The slip indicator light will come on. Have the vehicle inspected by your
Toyota dealer immediately.
