WARNING
∙ Never rely solely on the hill descentcontrol system to control vehicle
speed when driving on steep downhill
grades. Always drive carefully when
using the hill descent control system
and decelerate the vehicle speed by
depressing the brake pedal if neces-
sary. Be especially careful when driv-
ing on frozen, muddy or extremely
steep downhill roads. Failure to con-
trol vehicle speed may result in a loss
of control of the vehicle and possible
serious injury or death. ∙ The hill descent control may not con-
trol the vehicle speed on a hill under
all load or road conditions. Always be
prepared to depress the brake pedal
to control vehicle speed. Failure to do
so may result in a collision or serious
personal injury.
CAUTION
When the hill descent control system
operates continuously for a long time,
the temperature of the brake pads may
increase and the hill descent control
system may be temporarily disabled
(the indicator light will blink). If the indi-
cator light does not come on continu-
ously af ter blinking, stop using the
system.
The hill descent control system is designed
to reduce driver workload when going
down steep hills. The hill descent control
system helps to control vehicle speed so
the driver can concentrate on steering the
vehicle.
To activate the hill descent control system: ∙ activate the 4H or 4LO switch,
∙ the transmission shif t lever must be in forward or reverse gear, ∙ the hill descent control system switch
must be ON.
The vehicle speed must be kept below
15 mph (25 km/h).
The hill descent control indicator light will
come on when the system is activated.
Also, the stop/tail lights illuminate while the
hill descent control system applies the
brakes to control vehicle speed.
You may hear a noise from under the hood
or feel a vibration from the actuator when it
is operating. This is normal and indicates
the hill descent control system is working
properly.
If the accelerator or brake pedal is de-
pressed while the hill descent control sys-
tem is on, the system will stop operating
temporarily. As soon as the accelerator or
brake pedal is released, the hill descent
control system begins to function again if
the hill descent control operating condi-
tions are fulfilled.
The hill descent control indicator light
blinks if the switch is on and all conditions
for system activation are not met or if the
system becomes disengaged for any rea-
son.

To turn off the hill descent control system,
push the switch to the OFF position.
For additional information, refer to “Hill de-
scent control system ON indicator light” in
this section and “Hill descent control sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual.The E-Lock system can help provide added
traction if the vehicle is stuck or becoming
stuck.
To activate the E-Lock system:∙ the 4WD switch must be in the 4LO po- sition (4-wheel drive vehicles),
∙ the vehicle must be stopped or moving at 4 mph (7 km/h) or less, and
∙ the E-Lock system switch must be turned ON. When the E-Lock system switch is turned
ON, the indicator light will flash until the
system engages. However, if all operation
conditions listed above are not met or the
system becomes disengaged, the indica-
tor light will continue to flash.
The Anti-lock Braking System (ABS) system
is disabled and the ABS light illuminates
when the E-Lock system is on.
For additional information, refer to “Elec-
tronic locking rear differential (E-Lock) sys-
tem” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this manual for further explanation and
system limitations.
WARNING
∙ Never leave the E-Lock system ON
when driving on paved or hard-
surfaced roads. Turning the vehicle
may result in the rear wheels slipping
and result in an accident and personal
injury. Af ter using the E-Lock system
to free the vehicle, turn the system
OFF.

∙ Use the E-lock system only in anemergency when it is not possible to
free a stuck vehicle even using 4LO.
Never use the E-Lock system on a slip-
pery road surface such as snow or ice
surface. Using the E-Lock system
when driving in these road conditions
may cause unexpected movement of
the vehicle during engine braking, ac-
celerating or turning, which may re-
sult in an accident and serious per-
sonal injury.
∙ Observe the above warnings. Other- wise, loss of normal steering control
may result. This may result in an acci-
dent and serious personal injury.
CAUTION
∙ Af ter using the E-Lock system, or dur-ing normal driving, turn the switch
OFF to prevent possible damage to
drivetrain components from ex-
tended use.
∙ When the E-Lock system is in opera- tion, turning the vehicle becomes dif-
ficult. This can be dangerous, espe-
cially at high speeds. Doing so could
damage drivetrain components. ∙ Do not operate the E-Lock system
when the vehicle is turning or when
one side wheel is rotating. Otherwise,
the drivetrain components could be
damaged.
∙ The E-Lock system operates only when the engine is running.
∙ In 4H mode, the E-Lock system does not operate when the E-Lock system
switch is turned to the ON position.
(The E-Lock system indicator light will
flash.)
∙ Avoid quick starts while the E-Lock system is in operation. Otherwise the
drivetrain components could be
damaged.
∙ Observe the above cautions. Other- wise, loss of normal steering may
result. To use the outlets for devices that require
120v power, place the ignition in the ON
position and push the power inverter
switch.
The 400W or 150W on the switch will illumi-
nate according to the mode selected. Only
the 150W is available when the ignition
switch is placed in the ON position and the
vehicle is being driven. For additional infor-
mation, refer to “120v outlets” in this section
regarding using devices that require the
power inverter switch activated.
