Operation guidance

Operation guidance is shown on the multi-information display when you cannot set a mode.

When the operation guidance is shown on the multi-information dis- play, follow the instructions in the table.

The Multi-terrain Select can be operated when

• Vehicle speed is less than 7 mph (12 km/h)

• Crawl Control is off

When using Multi-terrain Select

The following functions cannot be switched on or off.

• VSC

• Active TRAC

• Second start mode

A message will be shown on the multi-information display stating that these func- tions cannot be switched using the VSC OFF switch or the menu and “ENTER” switches.

When selecting a terrain mode

If you are unsure which mode is appropriate, select MOGUL when the four-wheel drive control switch is in L4 or select MUD & SAND when it is in H4.

When it is difficult to generate traction

MUD & SAND mode provides the largest amount of tire slippage, followed by LOOSE ROCK, MOGUL and ROCK mode.

Drivability can be improved by selecting a mode which provides a smaller amount of tire slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slippage is large, or conversely selecting a mode which provides a larger amount of tire slippage than the current mode when the amount of tire slippage is small.

When the vehicle is stuck

Switching the transfer and differential

For the operation of the following functions, refer to the following pages.

• Four-wheel drive system

• Center differential lock

CAUTION

When using the Multi-terrain Select

• There is a chance that the selected mode may not be the most appropriate in terms of road conditions such as pitch, slipperiness, undulation, etc.

• Multi-terrain Select is not intended to expand the limits of the vehicle. Check the road conditions thoroughly beforehand, and drive safely and carefully.
