IN CASE OF EMERGENCY
WARNING
• When the vehicle is stuck and people or objects are nearby, do not drive the
vehicle forward and backward. When driving the vehicle forward and backward,
the vehicle may suddenly become unstuck and injure nearby people or cause
damage to objects.
NOTE
• On a muddy road with an automatic transmission model, by depressing the
brake pedal you can make a standing start in the manual mode 2nd gear and
move the selector lever to the "+" (upshift) position. This provides better traction
and safer vehicle operation.
• When you want to free the vehicle from mud where the tires may slip slightly by
increasing the engine speed, you can press the ESC OFF switch to disable just
the traction control system (TCS).
• For models that are equipped with differential locks, use the differential lock
when you want to free the vehicle from mud.
When Driving on Bad Roads
RTUL70SH001401
If the vehicle gets stuck in mud, depressing
the accelerator pedal more than necessary
will simply dig the vehicle deeper into the
mud and make it harder to extricate. Either
put stones, tree branches or blankets under
the tires to gain traction or repeatedly drive
forward and backward to use the vehicle's
momentum to extricate it.
