Operating hints
Have your vehicle serviced prior to
towing a heavy trailer, taking particular
care of the state of engine tune, the
condition of brakes, steering and tyres.
Adjust tyre pressures to those
specifications at trailer towing (refer to
“tyre inflation pressure”). Check the
tyres, wiring and brakes (if fitted) on the
trailer.
Leave plenty of room between the
front of your vehicle and the preceding
vehicle. If the trailer begins to sway or
becomes difficult to handle, gently slow
down or apply the independent trailer
brakes (if fitted) NOT the vehicle brakes.
Stop the vehicle and trailer in a safe
location. One cause of swaying is poor
trailer balance and until this has been
overcome the swaying will recur.
Relocated the load in your trailer and
re-assess the problem.
Be sure that the driving speed does
not exceed 100 km/h for trailer
operation.

after the engine is turned on.
NOTE When the ESC is activated, you
may feel a vibration in the vehicle body
or hear a whining sound from the
engine compartment. This indicates
that the system is operating normally. It
does not indicate a malfunction.
NOTE When the anti-lock brake
system warning lamp is illuminated, the
ESC is not active.
NOTE On vehicles with the rear
differential lock, the ESC and ABS
functions are suspended while the rear
differential lock is activated. ESC
indicator lamp, ESC OFF indicator lamp
and ABS warning lamp are illuminated
while these functions are suspended. It
does not indicate a problem. When the
rear differential lock is disengaged,
these lamps go out and function again.
Refer to “ABS warning lamp” and “ESC
indicator lamp, ESC OFF indicator
lamp”.
Electronic Stability Control function
The electronic stability control function
is designed to help the driver maintain
control of the vehicle on slippery roads
or during rapid steering maneuvers. It
works by controlling the engine output
and the brake on each wheel.NOTE The electronic stability control
function does not operate when the
drive mode-selector is in the “4L”
position (Easy select 4WD), “4LLc”
position (Super select 4WD II). When
the electronic stability control function is
operating with the drive mode-selector
in the “2H” or “4H” position (Easy select
4WD), “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position
(Super select 4WD II), setting the drive
mode-selector to the “4L” (Easy select
4WD), “4LLc” position (Super select
4WD II) position makes the electronic
stability control function deactivate
automatically.
NOTE The electronic stability control
function operates at speeds of about
15 km/h or higher.
NOTE On vehicles with the rear
differential lock, the electronic stability
control function does not operate when
the rear differential lock is activated.
“ESC OFF” switch
The electronic stability control function
is automatically activated when the
ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position or the operation mode is put in
ON. You can deactivate the system by
pressing down the “ESC OFF” switch
for 3 seconds or longer.
When the electronic stability control
function is deactivated, the
indicator
will turn on. To reactivate the ESC,
momentarily press the “ESC OFF”
switch; the indicator
is turned off.

Driving hints
When extricating the vehicle from mud,
sand or fresh snow with the drive
mode-selector in the “2H”or
“4H”position (Easy select 4WD) or “2H”,
“4H” or “4HLc” position (Super select
4WD II), you may find that operation of
the ESC prevents the engine speed
from increasing in response to
depression of the accelerator pedal. If
this happens and the vehicle remains
stuck as a result, place the drive
mode-selector in the “4L” position
(Easy select 4WD), “4LLc” position
(Super select 4WD II), or turn the
electronic stability control switch OFF.
The vehicle will then be easier to
extricate. (Brake control of the active
traction control function is still working
to prevent wheel spins when the ESC
OFF switch is “OFF”, “4L” position

ECONOMICAL
DRIVING
For economical driving, there are some
technical requirements that have to be
met. The prerequisite for low fuel
consumption is a properly adjusted
engine. In order to achieve longer life of
the vehicle and the most economical
operation, we recommend you to have
the vehicle checked at regular intervals
in accordance with the service
standards.
Fuel economy and generation of
exhaust gas and noise are highly
influenced by personal driving habits as
well as the particular operating
conditions. The following points should
be observed in order to minimize wear
of brakes, tyres and engine as well as
to reduce environmental pollution.
Starting the engine
Avoid sudden acceleration and sudden
starts, as they will increase fuel
consumption.
Shifting
Shift only at an appropriate speed and
engine speed. Always use the highest
shift position possible.
The transfer shift lever or the drive
modeselector should be set to “2H”
when driving 4WD vehicles on normal
roads and express ways to obtain best
possible fuel economy.City traffic
Frequent starting and stopping increases
the average fuel consumption. Use roads
with smooth traffic flow whenever
possible. When driving on congested
roads, avoid use of a low shift position at
high engine speeds.
Idling
The vehicle consumes fuel even during
idling. Avoid extended idling whenever
possible.
Speed
At higher the vehicle speed, more fuel is
consumed. Avoid driving at full speed.
Even a slight release of the accelerator
pedal will save a significant amount of
fuel.
Tyre inflation pressure
Check the tyre inflation pressures at
regular intervals. Low tyre inflation
pressure increases road resistance and
fuel consumption. In addition, low tyre
pressures adversely affect tyre wear
and driving stability.
Cargo loads
Do not drive with unnecessary articles
in the luggage compartment. Especially
during city driving where frequent
starting and stopping is necessary, the
increased weight of the vehicle will
greatly affect fuel consumption. Also
avoid driving with unnecessary luggage
or carriers, etc., on the roof; the
increased air resistance will increase
fuel consumption.Cold engine starting
Starting of a cold engine consumes
more fuel. Unnecessary fuel
consumption is also caused by keeping
a hot engine running. After the engine is
started, commence driving as soon as
possible.
Cooler or air conditioning
The use of the air conditioner will
increase the fuel consumption.

WARNING
227)Depress the clutch pedal fully to
change gear correctly. It is therefore
essential that there is nothing under the
pedals: make sure the mats are lying flat
and do not get in the way of the pedals.
IMPORTANT
105)Do not put the gearshift lever into the
reverse position while the vehicle is moving
forward. Doing so could damage the
transmission.
106)Do not rest your foot on the clutch
pedal while driving as this will cause
premature clutch wear or damage.107)Do not coast in the “N” (Neutral)
position.
108)Do not use the gearshift lever as a
hand rest, because this can result in
premature wear of the transmission shift
forks.
109)Quick or slight clutch engagement
made while the engine is running at high
speed will cause damage to the clutch and
transmission because the tractive force is
very great.
110)Do not depress the gearshift lever
when moving it to any position other than
the “R” (Reverse) position. If you always
depress the gearshift lever when moving it,
you could unintentionally move the gearshift
lever to the “R” (Reverse) position and
cause an accident and/or a transmission
fault.
