■Operating tips (vehicles with automatic transmission)
The system will operate when the shift lever is in a position other than P, how-
ever to make effective use of the system it is recommended to select a lower
shift range.
■ The system will not operate when
● The transfer mode is in H2.
● The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
■ If the downhill assist control system indicator flashes
● In the following situations, the indicator flashes and the system will not oper-
ate:
• The transfer mode is not in L4 or H4.
• The rear differential is locked. (if equipped)
• The shift lever is in P. (vehicles with automatic transmission)
• The accelerator or brake pedal is depressed.
• The vehicle speed exceeds approximately 30 km/h (18 mph).
• The brake system overheats.
● In the following situations, the indicator flashes to alert the driver, but the
system will operate:
• The shift lever is in N. (vehicles with automatic transmission)
• The clutch pedal is depressed. (vehicles with manual transmission)
• The “DAC” switch is turned off while the system is operating.
The system will gradually ceases operat ion. The indicator will flash during
operation, and then go off when the system is fully off.
■ When the downhill assist control system is operated continuously
This may cause the brake actuator to overheat. In this case, the downhill
assist control system will stop operating, a buzzer will sound and the downhill
assist control system indicator will start flashing, and “TRC turned off” will be
shown on the multi-information display. Refrain from using the system until
the downhill assist control system indicator stays on and the message goes
off. (The vehicle can be driven normally during this time.)
■ Sounds and vibrations caused by the downhill assist control system

DPF (Diesel Particulate Filter) system
: If equipped
When the deposit collected by the filter reaches a predetermined
amount, it is automatically regenerated.
WARNING
■ During regeneration
Observe the following precautions.
Failure to do so may result in serious injury such as burns caused by the hot
exhaust pipe and exhaust gases, or may cause a fire.
● Do not carry out regeneration when the vehicle is in an enclosed area,
such as a garage.
● Do not touch the exhaust pipe and exhaust gases during regeneration.
NOTICE
■To prevent the DPF system from failing
● Do not drive for long periods of time while the DPF system warning mes- sage “DPF full Visit your dealer” appears on the multi-information displayand a buzzer sounds (malfunction indicator lamp comes on)
● Do not use fuel other than the specified type
● Do not use engine oil other than the recommended type
● Do not modify the exhaust pipe
●Do not stop the vehicle where flamma-
ble materials, such as dry grass, are
near the exhaust pipe.
● Make sure that there are no people
near the exhaust pipe.

◆Regeneration
● During normal driving, the filter is automatically regenerated
every several hundred kilometers*. During regeneration, the DPF
system warning message “DPF regeneration in progress” is dis-
played on the multi-information display.
● When the amount of accumulated deposit reaches a certain
level, regeneration can be performed. ( P. 370)
*: Differs in accordance with weather, driving conditions, etc.
◆System characteristics
The DPF system has the following characteristics:
● Idle speed increases during regeneration
● The smell of the exhaust gas differs from that of a conventional
diesel vehicle
● White smoke may be emitted from the exhaust pipe during
regeneration. However, this does not indicate a malfunction.
The amount of accumulated deposit in the DPF system can be con-
firmed on the multi-information display.
The DPF deposition status appears when the DPF system switch is
pressed or the warning massage is displayed. Use the displayed DPF
deposition as a reference.

●If the DPF system warning message “DPF full See owner’s manual”
appears on the multi-information display, follow the procedure
below to regenerate.
When regenerating the filter during driving the vehicle
To regenerate the filter, the following driving methods are recom-
mended.*1
• By driving continuously (for example, at around 60 km/h [37 mph]
for 20 to 30 minutes).
• By avoiding short trips, or by driving continuously (leaving the
engine running for long periods of time).
Check the engine is warmed up before driving the vehicle to regenerate
the filter. If the engine is cold, warm up the engine by driving the vehicle
downshifting to increase the engine speed.*2
The warning message will disappear on the multi-information display when
regeneration is complete. However, depending on the driving condition
such as heavy traffic, the amount of accumulated deposit increases and
the warning message may not disappear on the multi-information display.
If the warning message does not disappear on the multi-information dis-
play after driving, press the DPF system switch to manually regenerate the
filter.
Regeneration during driving cannot be performed when the vehicle is
higher than 4000 m (13124 ft.) above sea level.
*1: When driving, pay sufficient attention to weather, road conditions, ter-
rain and traffic conditions, and drive according to traffic laws.
*2: Depending on the situation, it may be necessary to downshift until the
engine speed is increased to 3000 rpm. If the engine coolant tempera-
ture or exhaust gas temperature is low, it may take a long time to
regenerate, or regeneration may be impossible.
