Advice for driving on slippery roads in
"L4" (low speed position) mode
If the multi–mode control switch knob is
in the "L4" and the automatic transmission
selector lever is in the "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 as-
sists the driver to control the driving pow-
er of 4 wheels.
Use the "L" position of the automatic
transmission selector 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 traction control system if the engine
speed is under 3000 rpm (normally engine
speed is under 3000 rpm when the wheels
get unstuck).

tor lever positions, see "Automatic trans-

section.)
(b) A.D.D.
(automatic disconnecting
differential)
The A.D.D. can be engaged or disen-
gaged by the shifting operations de-
scribed in "(c) Shifting procedure".
You should drive in four–wheel drive for
at least 16 km (10 miles) each month.
This will assure that the front drive com-
ponents are lubricated.
