(1) Driving mode switch
The four-mode 4WD system enables you
to select the driving mode according to
driving conditions by operating the driving
mode switch.
Driving modes
AUTO
This mode prioritizes fuel economy in typi-
cal driving conditions. The system
switches the driving mode to 4WD if it
detects wheel spin.SPORT
This mode is appropriate for sporty driving.
The system apportions torque to promote
cornering performance.
SNOW
This mode is appropriate for snowy,
unpaved, and other slippery surfaces. This
mode enhances traction during accelera-
tion on slippery surfaces, and enables sta-
ble cornering on slippery surfaces.
LOCK
This mode is for extricating the car from
snow, mud or sand.
Driving mode switch operation
Operate the driving mode switch according
to the appropriate procedure described
below.
How to turn on driving mode switch
The driving mode switch will activate when
the ignition switch is in “ON” position or the

DRIVING TIPS
54P00-01E
Driving on slippery roads
60G089S
On wet roads, you should drive at a lower
speed than you do on dry roads due to
possible slippage of tires during braking.
When driving on icy, snow-covered or
muddy roads, reduce your speed and
avoid sudden acceleration, abrupt braking,
or sharp steering movements.
Four-mode 4WD models
Your four-mode 4WD is designed to get
better traction on slippery roads than 2-
wheel drive models. However, your four-
mode 4WD will not have as much traction
in deep snow, mud or sand as multipur-
pose 4WD vehicles. You should not
attempt to drive your four-mode 4WD in
deep snow, mud or sand. Four-mode 4WDmodels are not sport/utility vehicles, and
are not designed for off-road use.
Tire chains
Tire chains should only be used if they are
needed to increase traction or are required
by law. Check that the chains you use are
the correct size for your vehicle’s tires.
Also check that there is enough clearance
between the fenders and the chains as
installed on the tires.
Install the chains on the front tires tightly,
according to the chain manufacturer’s
instructions. Retighten the chains after
driving about 1.0 km (1/2 mile) if neces-
sary. With the chains installed, drive slowly.
WA R N I N G
Do not hold the brake pedal down too
long or too often while going down a
steep or long hill. This could cause
the brakes to overheat, resulting in
reduced braking efficiency. Failure to
take this precaution could result in
loss of vehicle control.
NOTICE
When descending a downhill, Never
turn the ignition key to “LOCK” posi-
tion or press the engine switch to
change the ignition mode to “LOCK”
(OFF). Emission control system dam-
age may result.
NOTICE
• If you hear the chains hitting
against the vehicle body while driv-
ing, stop and tighten them.
• If your vehicle is equipped with full
wheel caps, remove the wheel caps
before installing the chains or the
wheel caps can be damaged by the
chain bands.
