NOTE
l The
2WD/4WD operation
indication lamp
blinks while the selection is in process. Take
the following precautions when the indica-
tion lamp is blinking. • Keep the steering wheel in the straightahead position while making range selec-
tions. If you attempt to drive forward
with the steering wheel turned, gear rat-
tling may occur and the desired range
may not actually be selected.
• If the front wheel and/or centre differen- tial lock lamps continue blinking after a
“2H” ↔ “4H” ↔ “4HLc” selection has
been made with the vehicle moving, hold
the steering wheel in the straight ahead po-
sition and slowly depress the accelerator
pedal several times.
• If, after a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection has been made, the front and rear wheel
lamps continue blinking and the desired
range is not actually selected, return the
transfer shift lever to its previous posi-
tion. Place the steering wheel in the
straight ahead position, drive the vehicle
forward, and release the accelerator ped-
al. Next, hold down the clutch pedal
(with M/T) or place the selector lever in
the “N” (NEUTRAL) position (with A/T)
and make the range selection again. l
If
the
front and rear wheel lamps blink rapid-
ly (twice per second) when you attempt to
make a “4HLc” ↔ “4LLc” selection, the se-
lection cannot be made. Stop the vehicle and
release the accelerator pedal. Next, hold
down the clutch pedal (with M/T) or place
the selector lever in the “N” (NEUTRAL) po-
sition (with A/T) and make the range selec-
tion again. CAUTION
l
If a
problem
is detected in the transfer sys-
tem, a safety device will activate. The
front and rear wheel lamps will go out,
the centre differential lock lamp will
blink, and transfer shifting will become
impossible. Park your vehicle in a safe
place, turn off the engine for a few mo-
ments. Restart the engine.
The lamps should resume normal opera-
tion. If the lamps continue to blink, we rec-
ommend you to have the vehicle checked
as soon as possible. Starting and driving

Driving hints
E00618100036
When extricating the
vehicle from mud, sand or
fresh snow with the transfer shift lever in the “2H”,
“4H”, or “4HLc” position, you may find that opera-
tion of the ASTC prevents the engine speed from in-
creasing in response to depression of the accelera-
tor pedal. If this happens and the vehicle remains
stuck as a result, place the transfer shift lever in the
“4LLc” position or turn the Active Stability Con-
trol switch OFF. The vehicle will then be easier to
extricate. (Brake control of the active traction con-
trol function is still working to prevent wheel spins
when ASC OFF switch “OFF” or “4LLc” position
selected.)
NOTE
l If the vehicle speed increases to about
120 km/h (75 mph) with the Active Stability
Control function deactivated, the Active Sta-
bility Control function automatically starts op-
erating. To subsequently stop the Active Sta-
bility Control function, stop the vehicle and
press the ASC OFF switch again.
Active stability control function E00613900097
The Active Stability Control function is designed
to help maintain

the vehicle’s control in slippery
conditions, or during rapid steering manoeuvres. It
works by controlling the engine output and brake
on each wheel. NOTE
l The
Active Stability

Control function does
not operate when the transfer shift lever is in
the “4LLc” position.
When the Active Stability Control function
is operating with the transfer shift lever in
the “2H”, “4H” or “4HLc” position, moving
the shift lever to the “4LLc” position makes
the Active Stability Control function deacti-
vate automatically.
l On vehicles with rear differential lock, the Ac-
tive Stability Control function does not oper-
ate when the rear differential lock is activated.

bility Control function
is deactivated by either of
the following operations:
l The ASC OFF switch is pressed to deacti-
vate the system.
l The transfer shift lever is placed in the
“4LLc” position. CAUTION
l
When indication lamp blinks, the Ac-
tive Stability Control

function is operat-
ing, which means that the road is slippery
or that your vehicle’s wheels are spinning
excessively. If this happens, drive slower
with less accelerator input.
l If a fault occurs in the device, the ABS
warning lamp or and indication
lamps illuminate as

warning. Park your
vehicle in a safe place and stop the en-
gine. Then, start the engine again and
check whether the ABS warning lamp or and indication lamps go out.

NOTE
l Immediately
after reconnection
of the battery
cable, the indication lamp will illuminate
and the Active Stability Control function will
stop operating. If

the vehicle is driven and
the indication lamp goes off, the Active
Stability Control function
will again start op-
erating.
If the indication lamp illuminates again or il-
luminates even though the battery has not
been disconnected, an insufficient battery
voltage or other problems may be the reason.
We recommend you to have your vehicle in-
spected.
Active traction control function E00614100041
The active traction control function maintains trac-
tion on slippery

road surfaces by automatically con-
trolling the engine output and applying the brakes
so the driving wheels are prevented from spinning.
The active traction control function automatically
turns ON when the ignition switch is turned to the
“ON” position. CAUTION
l
If the temperature
in the braking system
increases excessively due to continuous
brake control on a slippery road surface,
a warning buzzer will sound intermittent-
ly to warn the driver. If driving continues
in spite of the buzzer and the tempera-
ture in the braking system increases fur-
ther, the indication lamp will illumi-
nate, the warning

buzzer will sound con-
tinuously for approximately 3 seconds,
and active traction control function oper-
ation will be suspended to protect the brak-
ing system. (Normal operation of the vehi-
cle will not be affected.) If the vehicle is
stopped and the indication lamp goes
off, the active

traction control function
will start operating again.
Active traction control function indication lamp E00614200127
The indication lamp (1) should illuminate when
the ignition switch

is turned to the “ON” position
and should go off after a few seconds.
If the indication lamp stays on or does not illumi-
nate when the ignition switch is turned to the “ON”
position, we recommend you to have your vehicle
inspected. When the active Traction Control System operates,
the
active
traction

control function indication lamp
(1) blinks and the indication lamp for the wheel (2)
being subjected to antispin control also blinks. Example indication: Active traction control func-
tion controlling front-right wheel
NOTE l In
the event

of a fault in the Active Stability
Control function, the and indication
lamps illuminate. As

a result, an indication
of the active traction control function is limi-
ted to flashing of the indication lamp for the
wheel (2) being subjected to antispin control. Starting and driving
