NOTICE
• Maintain 4WD Auto mode when
driving on roads in normal con-
ditions.
• When driving under normal road
conditions (especially when cor-
nering) in 4WD Lock mode, a
driver may find minor mechani-
cal vibration or noise, which is
extremely normal phenomenon,
not a malfunction. When 4WD
Lock mode is released, such
noise or vibration will be imme-
diately gone.
CAUTION
When driving on normal roads,
deactivate the 4WD LOCK mode
by pushing the 4WD LOCK but-
ton (4WD LOCK indicator light
goes off). Driving on normal
roads with the 4WD LOCK
mode, especially, when corner-
ing may cause mechanical
noise or vibration. The noise
and vibration will disappear
when the 4WD LOCK mode is
deactivated. Prolonged driving
with the noise and vibration
may damage some parts of the
power train.
NOTICE
When the 4WD LOCK mode is
deactivated, a sensation may be
felt as the driving power is deliv-
ered entirely to the front wheels.
For safe 4WD operation
Before driving
• Make sure all passengers are
wearing seat belts.
• Sit upright and closer to the steer-
ing wheel than usual. Adjust the
steering wheel to a position which
is comfortable for you to drive.
Driving on snow-covered or icy
roads
• Start off slowly by applying the
accelerator pedal gently.
• Use snow tyres or tyre chains.
• Keep sufficient distance between
your vehicle and the vehicle in front
of you.
• Use engine braking during deceler-
ation.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and
sharp turns to prevent skids.
