WA R N I N GMake sure all doors are tightly closed andlocked while driving.• Locked doors, in co
mbination with the
use of seat belts, can help reduce the riskof ejection in
an accident.
• Locked doors can help keep passengers,especially small children, from openingdoors and falling out
of moving vehicles.
• Locked doors can help
prevent outsiders
from gaining access to your vehicle whenyou slow or come to a stop.
Lock your vehicle when
ever you leave it.
Children who get into
unlocked vehicles
may not be able to get out. Childrentrapped inside vehicles can quickly beovercome by heat
and suffer serious
injury or death due to heat stroke.Never leave a ch
ild alone in the vehicle. In
addition to the risk
of heat stroke, chil-
dren can activate switches and controls,resulting in an injury
or fatal accident.
When closing a door,
make sure that the
door is fully closed and the door-ajarwarning display goes
out on the informa-
tion screen on the multi-information dis-play. If the door is aj
ar it could open while
driving and cause an accident.

Your vehicle has been designed primarily foruse on pavement.But its unique 4 -wheel
drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads,to campgrounds, picnic
sites, and similar
locations.Not only does this ensu
re better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and when moving out of mud.But it is not suitable for heavy off road use ortowing in rough conditions.It is particularly im
portant to note that 4-
wheel drive may not gi
ve sufficient hill
climbing ability and e
ngine braking on steep
slopes. You should try to avoid driving onsteep slopes.Also, you must exercise caution when drivingon sand and mud and when driving throughwater because sufficient traction may not beavailable in certain circumstances.Please avoid driving the vehicle through areaswhere the tires may get stuck in deep sand ormud.

Your vehicle is equipped with power brakesfor more braking force with less brake pedaleffort.Your brakes are designed to operate at fullcapacity, even if the power assist is not beingused.If the power assist is not being used, the effortneeded to press the brake pedal is greater.If you should lose the power assist for somereason, the brakes will still work.If the power brake unit or either of the twobrake hydraulic systems stops working prop-erly, the rest of the brake system will stillwork, but the vehicle will not slow down asquickly.You will know this has happened if you findyou need to press the brake down farther, orharder when slowing down or stopping, or ifthe brake warning light and the warning dis-play in the multi-information display comeon.
To w i n g
CAUTIONDo not tow 4-wheel drive vehicles with thefront or rear wheels on the ground (Type Aor Type B) as illustrate
d. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.If you tow 4-wheel drive vehicles, use TypeC or Type D equipment.Even in “4WD ECO” (Electronically con-trolled 4WD) or “AWC ECO” (S-AWC)drive mode, the vehicle cannot be towedwith the front or the rear wheels on theground.
Jacking up a 4-wheel drive vehicle
WA R N I N GDo not crank the engine while jacking upthe vehicle.The tire on the ground may turn and thevehicle may roll off the jack.
Service brake Brake pedal
WA R N I N GDo not leave any objects near the brakepedal or let a floor mat slide under it;doing so could prevent the full pedalstroke that would be necessary in anemergency. Make sure that the pedal canbe operated freely at all times. Make surethe floor mat is securely held in place.
CAUTIONIt is important not to drive the vehicle withyour foot resting on the brake pedal whenbraking is not required.
This practice can
result in very high brake temperatures, pre-mature lining wear, a
nd possible damage to
the brakes.

N00546301070
CAUTIONWhen display/indicator blinks, ASC isoperating, which means that the road is slip-pery or that your vehi
cle’s wheels are begin-
ning to slip. If this happens, drive slower.If the temperature in the braking system con-tinues to increase due
to continuous brake
control on a slippery
road surface, the
indicator will blink.To prevent the brake system from overheat-ing, the brake control
of the traction control
function will be tem
porarily suspended.
The engine control of the traction controlfunction and normal brake operation will notbe affected.Park your vehicle in a safe place. When thetemperature in the braking system has comedown, the indicator will be turned off andthe traction control func
tion will start operat-
ing again.NOTE
The indicator may come on when youstart the engine. This means that the batteryvoltage momentarily dropped when theengine was started. It
does not indicate a
malfunction, provided th
at the display goes
out immediately.
When a spare tire has been put on your vehi-cle, the gripping ability of the tire will belower, making it more likely that the dis-play/indicator will blink.
