Advice for driving on slippery roads in
"L" (low speed position) mode
If you shift the four- wheel drive control
lever to "L" and the automatic transmis-
sion lever to "2" when you drive in steep
off- road areas, the output of the brake
can be controlled effectively by the active
traction control system, which assists the
driver to control the driving power of 4
wheels.
Use the "L" position of the automatic
transmission lever for maximum power
and traction when your wheels get stuck
or when you drive down a steep incline.
In the following cases, the output of the
brake can be controlled by the active trac-
tion control system if the engine speed is
under 3,000 rpm (normally engine speed
is under 3,000 rpm when the wheels get
unstuck).
