CAUTION
l
If the vehicle is towed with the ignition
switch in the “ON” position and only the
front wheels or only the rear wheels
raised off the ground, the active traction
control function may operate, resulting in
an accident. When towing the vehicle
with the front wheels raised, keep the ig-
nition switch in the “LOCK” or “ACC”
position. When towing the vehicle with
the rear wheels raised, keep the ignition
switch in the “ACC” position.
Refer to “Towing” on page 6-15. Cruise control*
E00609100519
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.

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

The regulations concerning towing may differ from
country to country.
It is recommended that you
obey the regulations of the area where you are driv-
ing your vehicle. Towing the vehicle by a tow truck
CAUTION
l
This vehicle
must
not be towed by a tow
truck using sling lift type equipment
(Type A) as illustrated. Using a sling lift
will damage the bumper and front end.
l Be sure to shift the transfer shift lever to
“2H” position and transport the vehicle
with the driving wheels on a carriage
(Type C, D or E) as illustrated. Never try
to tow with the transfer shift lever in
“4H”, “4HLc” or “4LLc” positions and
with the front or rear wheels on the
ground (Type B or Type C) as illustrated.
This could result in driving system dam-
age or the vehicle may jump at the car-
riage. If you cannot shift the transfer
shift lever to the “2H” position or the
transmission is malfunctioning or dam-
aged, transport the vehicle with all
wheels on a carriage (Type D or E) as il-
lustrated.
l As your vehicle equipped with the Active
Stability & Traction Control system
(ASTC), if the vehicle is towed with the ig-
nition switch in the “ON” position and on-
ly the front wheels or only the rear
wheels raised off the ground, the active
Traction Control System may operate, re-
sulting in an accident. CAUTION
l
If you tow
the vehicles with A/T with the
driving wheels on the ground (Type B) as
illustrated, make sure that the towing
speed and distance given below are never
exceeded, causing damage to the transmis-
sion.
