When the CVT makes no speedchange
E00603101208
If the transmission does not change speeds
while driving, or your vehicle does not pick up enough speed when starting on an uphillslope, it may be that there is something un-
usual happening in the transmission, causing a safety device to activate. We recommendthat you have your vehicle inspected immedi-
ately.
Electronically controlled
4WD system* E00604901492
The electronically controlled 4WD system isa 4-wheel drive system that allows one of
three drive modes to be selected with a switch, in accordance with the driving condi-tions.

The following drive modes are available.
Drive modeFunction
2WD
This mode is for econom-
ical driving on normal dry
roads and motorway.
Driving in front-wheel
drive.Drive modeFunction
4WD AUTO
The default mode.
This mode is for automat-
ically controlling the dis-
tribution of driving torque
to all four wheels accord-
ing to the driving condi-
tions.
4WD LOCK
This mode is for driving
in slippery conditions
such as on snow-covered
roads or sand.
The large amount of driv-
ing torque that is applied
to the rear tyres enables
getting out of slippery
areas and powerful driv-
ing is possible across all
ranges.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv- ing skills.
Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation”
on page 6-41 and take care to drive safely.
Drive mode-selector
The drive mode can be changed by pressing
the drive mode-selector while the ignition switch or the operation mode is in ON.
By pressing the drive mode-selector, the
drive mode can be changed in order of “2WD”, “4WD” AUTO and “4WD LOCK”.

The drive mode is displayed as an interrupt
display on the information screen in the mul- ti-information display when the drive mode is
changed.
After a few seconds, the information screen
will then return to its prior display.

NOTElDriving on rough roads can cause rust on the
vehicle; wash the vehicle thoroughly as soonas possible after such use.
Climbing/descending sharp
grades
Your vehicle may not provide sufficient hill
climbing ability and engine braking on steep slopes. Avoid driving on steep slopes even
though the vehicle is a 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Driving through water
E00618900106
If the electrical circuits become wet, further operation of the vehicle will be impossible;
therefore, avoid driving through water unless absolutely necessary. If driving through wa-ter is unavoidable, use the following proce-
dure:

Check the depth of the water and the terrain before attempting to drive through it. Driveslowly to avoid creating excessive water
splashing.
CAUTIONl Never drive through water that is deep
enough to cover wheel hubs, axles or ex-
haust pipe. Do not change the gearshift lever position ( M/T) or the selector lever position
(A/T or CVT) while driving through water.
Frequent driving through water can adverse-
ly affect the life span of the vehicle; we rec- ommend you to take the necessary measuresto prepare, inspect, and repair the vehicle.
l After driving through water, apply the
brakes to be sure they are functioning prop- erly. If the brakes are wet and not function-
ing properly, dry them out by driving slowly
while lightly depressing the brake pedal. In- spect each part of the vehicle carefully.Inspection and maintenance
following rough roadoperation E00606700338
After operating the vehicle in rough road
conditions, be sure to perform the following inspection and maintenance procedures:
l Check that the vehicle has not been dam-
aged by rocks, gravel, etc.
l Carefully wash the vehicle with water.
Drive the vehicle slowly while lightly
depressing the brake pedal in order to dry out the brakes. If the brakes still do
not function properly, we recommend you to have the brakes checked as soon
as possible.
l Remove the insects, dried grass, etc.
clogging the radiator core.
l After driving through water, check the
engine, transmission and differential oil. If the oil or grease is milky or cloudy be-
cause of water contamination, it must be
replaced with new oil or grease.
l Check the inside of the vehicle. If water
entry is found, dry the carpet etc.
l Inspect the headlamps, If the headlamp
bulb is flooded with water, we recom- mend you to have it drained.Cautions on handling of 4-
wheel drive vehicles E00606802085
Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the
4 wheels, the driving performance of the ve- hicle when operating in 4-wheel drive is
greatly affected by the condition of the tyres.

Inspection and maintenance following rough road operation
6-43OGAE17E2Starting and driving6

Initially tighten the wheel nuts until
the tapered area (A) of the nuts
lightly touches the wheel hole seat
area (B) enough to keep the tyre from wobbling.CAUTIONl Never apply oil to either the wheel bolts or
the nuts, or they will tighten too much.NOTEl Flange nuts can be temporarily used on the
steel wheel, but return to the original wheel and tyre as soon as possible.
l If all 4 aluminium wheels are changed to
steel wheels, e.g. when fitting winter tyres,
use tapered nuts.8. Lower the vehicle slowly by rotating the
wheel nut wrench anticlockwise until the
tyre touches the ground.
9. Tighten the nuts in the order shown in
the illustration until each nut has been tightened to the torque listed here.

Tightening torque 88 to 108 Nm
(Achieved by applying force of 350 to
420 N at end of wheel nut wrench sup- plied with vehicle)CAUTIONl Never use your foot or a pipe extension for
extra force in the wheel nut wrench. If you
do so, you will tighten the nut too much.
10. If the vehicle has a wheel cover, install
it.
Refer to “Wheel covers” on page 8-19.
11. Lower and remove the jack, then store
the jack, flat tyre, and chocks. Have your
damaged tyre repaired as soon as possi- ble.
12. Check your tyre inflation pressure at the
next gasstation. The correct tyre pres-
sures are shown on the driver’s door la- bel. See the illustration.
