CAUTION
Under certain slippery road condi-
tions, full traction of the vehicles and
power to 4 wheels may not be main-
tained, even though the active trac-
tion control system is in operation.
Do not drive the vehicle under any
light
speed or maneuvering
which will cause the vehicle to lose
traction. In situations where the road
surface is covered with ice or snow,
your vehicle should be fitted with
snow tires or tire chains. Always
drive at an appropriate and cautious
speed for the road conditions pres-
ent.

Vehicle skid control system

The vehicle skid control system helps
provide integrated control of the sys-
tems such as anti–lock brake, traction
control, engine control, etc. This sys-
tem automatically controls the output of
the brakes or engine to help prevent
the vehicle from skidding under adverse
conditions.
The vehicle skid control system activates
conditions
when the vehicle speed is more than the
following speed.
Four–wheel drive control lever in "H"

You may hear a sound in the engine
compartment for a few seconds when the
engine is started or just after the vehicle
begins to move. This means that the ve-
hicle skid control system is in the self–
check mode and does not indicate a mal-
function.
