CAUTION
l
Do not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with
the front or rear wheels on the ground
(Type A or Type B) as illustrated. This
could result in damage to the drivetrain,
or unstable towing.
If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use
Type C or Type D equipment.
l Even in “2WD” drive mode, the vehicle
cannot be towed with the front or the
rear wheels on the ground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle WARNING
l Do
not crank the engine while the vehicle
is jacked up.
The tyre on the ground may turn and the
vehicle may roll off the jack.
Clutch operation
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.
Operate the pedal slowly and positively. Braking
E00607001784
All
the parts of the brake system are critical to safe-
ty. We recommend you to have the vehicle
checked at regular intervals according to the serv-
ice booklet. CAUTION
l
Avoid
driving habits that cause heavy
braking and never “ride” the brakes by
resting your foot on the brake pedal
while driving.
It causes brake overheating and fade.
Brake system
The
service brake is divided into two brake cir-
cuits. And your vehicle is equipped with power
brakes. If one brake circuit fails, the other is availa-
ble to stop the vehicle. If you should lose the pow-
er assist for some reason, the brakes will still work.
In these situations, even if the brake pedal moves
down to the very end of its possible stroke or re-
sists being depressed, keep depressing the brake ped-
al down harder and further than usual; stop driving
as soon as possible and have the brake system re-
paired. WARNING
l Do
not turn off the engine while your ve-
hicle is in motion. If you turn off the en-
gine while driving, the power assistance
for the braking system will stop working
and your brakes will not work effectively. WARNING
l If
the power assist is lost or if either
brake hydraulic system stops working
properly, have your vehicle checked im-
mediately.
Warning display
The
brake warning lamp illuminates to indicate a
fault in the braking system. A warning is also dis-
played on the multi-information display. Refer to
“Brake warning lamp” on page 3-40 and “Brake
warning display” on page 3-42.
When brakes are wet
Check the brake system while driving at a low
speed immediately after starting, especially when
the brakes are wet, to confirm they work normally.
A film of water can be formed on the brake discs
and prevent normal braking after driving in heavy
rain or through large puddles, or after the vehicle is
washed. If this occurs, dry the brakes out by driv-
ing slowly while lightly depressing the brake pedal.
When driving downhill
It is important to take advantage of the engine brak-
ing by shifting to a lower shift position while driv-
ing on steep downhill roads in order to prevent the
brakes from overheating. Starting and driving
4-35 4

CAUTION
l
The system may be malfunctioning.
Park
your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the
display/indicator goes out. If they go out,
there is no abnormal condition. If they do
not go out or appear frequently, it is not
necessary to stop the vehicle immediately,
but we recommend you to have your vehi-
cle inspected.
Towing E00624400050CAUTION
l
When
towing the vehicle with only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, do not place the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position or do
not put the operation mode in ON. Plac-
ing the ignition switch in the “ON” posi-
tion or putting the operation mode in ON
could cause the ASC to operate, resulting
in an accident.
Note that the correct towing method de-
pends on the transmission type and the ve-
hicle’s drive configuration.
For details, refer to “Towing” on page
6-18. Cruise control*
E00609101008
Cruise
control is an automatic speed control system
that keeps a set speed. It can be activated at about
40 km/h (25 mph) or more. CAUTION
l
When
you do not wish to drive at a set
speed, turn off the cruise control for safety.
l Do not use cruise control when driving
conditions will not allow you to stay at
the same speed, such as in heavy traffic
or on roads that are winding, icy, snow-
covered, wet, slippery, on a steep down-
hill slope.
l On vehicles with M/T, do not move the
gearshift lever to the “N” (Neutral) posi-
tion while driving at a set speed without
depressing the clutch pedal. The engine
will run too fast and might be damaged.
NOTE l Cruise
control may not be able to keep your
speed on uphills or downhills.
l Your speed may decrease on a steep uphill.
You may use the accelerator pedal if you
want to stay at your set speed.
l Your speed may increase to more than the
set speed on a steep downhill. You must use
the brake to control your speed. As a result,
the set speed driving is deactivated. Cruise control switches
A- “ON OFF” switch
Used to turn on and off the cruise control.
B- “COAST SET” switch
Used
to reduce the set speed and to set the desired
speed.
C- “ACC RES” switch
Used to increase the set speed and to return to the
original set speed.
D- “CANCEL” switch
Used to deactivate the set speed driving.
NOTE
l When operating the cruise control switches,
press the cruise control switches correctly.
The set speed driving may be deactivated au-
tomatically if two or more switches of the
cruise control are pressed at the same time. Starting and driving
