CAUTION
Be sure to maintain 4WD AUTO
mode when driving on normal
roads. If you drive with Multi
Terrain Control mode on normal
roads or curved roads, it may
damage 4WD parts and cause
vibration and noise. However
the vibration and noise are nor-
mal, not indicating any malfunc-
tion. If you select the 4WD
AUTO mode from the Multi
Terrain Control mode, the vibra-
tion and noise disappear. And
when you change to the 4WD
AUTO mode from the Multi
Terrain Control mode, a sensa-
tion may be felt as the driving
power is delivered to the rear
wheel.

ing wheel than usual. Adjust the
