Multi-terrain Select
(AWD models)
Multi-terrain Select is a sys-
tem that improves drivability in
off-road situations.
When driving over muddy,
sandy or rough road surfaces,
the system selects a suitable
driving mode to switch AWD,
brake and drive force control
to perform control suitable for
the road condition.
WARNING
■
Before using Multi-terrain Select
Make sure to observe the following
precautions. Failure to observe these
precautions may result in an unex-
pected accident.
●
Check that the Mud & Sand and
Rock & Dirt indicators are illumi-
nated before driving. Multi-terrain
Select will not operate when the
indicators are off.
●
Do not rely solely upon the
Multi-terrain Select. This function is
not intended to expand the limits of
the vehicle. If the system is continu-
ously used for a long period of time,
the load on related parts increases
and the system may be unable to
operate normally, which may lead to
an accident. Thoroughly check the
road conditions and driving route
before driving, and drive with cau-
tion.
