WARNING
■Shifting the front-wheel drive control switch from “2WD” to “4H ” while
driving
Never operate the front-wheel drive control switch if the wheel s are slipping.
Stop the slipping or spinning before shifting.
■ When the vehicle is parked
If the shift lever is moved before the “4LO” indicator turns on/off, the transfer
mode may not be shifted completely. The transfer mode disengage s both
the front and rear driveshafts from the powertrain and allows the vehicle to
move regardless of the shift position. (At this time, the indicator blinks and
the buzzer sounds.)
Therefore, the vehicle is free to roll even if the automatic tr ansmission is in
P. You or someone else could be seriously injured. You must complete the
shifting of the transfer mode before placing transmission in P. ( P. 298)
NOTICE
■To prevent damage to the center differential
● For normal driving on dry and hard surface roads, unlock the center differ-
ential.
● Unlock the center differential after the wheels are out of the ditch or off the
loose or bumpy surface.
● Do not push the center differential lock switch when the vehicle is corner-
ing or when its wheels are spinning freely off the ground.

Automatic reactivation of TRAC, Trailer Sway Control and VSC sy stems
After turning the TRAC, Trailer Sway Control and VSC systems of f, the sys-
tems will be automatically re-enabled in the following situatio ns:
● When the engine switch is turned off
● If only the TRAC system is turned off, the TRAC will turn on wh en vehicle
speed increases
If both the TRAC and VSC systems are turned off, automatic re-e nabling will
not occur when vehicle speed increases.
■ If the brake system overheats
TRAC will cease operation, and the slip indicator will change f rom flashing to
being on continuously to alert the driver. Stop the vehicle in a safe place.
(There is no problem with continuing normal driving.)
■ Shifting to the “4L” position
The VSC off indicator will come on.
If the center differential is locked, VSC and Trailer Sway Cont rol are automat-
ically turned off.
■ Power steering system operation sound
When you turn the engine switch to the “ON” position after the battery has
been disconnected and reconnected, a sound may be heard from the engine
compartment.
This does not indicate a malfunction.

NOTICE
■To prevent water damage
● Take all necessary safety measures to ensure that water damage to the
engine or other components does not occur.
● Water entering the engine air intake will cause severe engine damage.
● Water entering the automatic transmission will cause deterioration in shift
quality, locking up of your transmission accompanied by vibration, and ulti-
mately damage.
● Water can wash the grease from wheel bearings, causing rusting and pre-
mature failure, and may also enter the differentials, transmission and
transfer case, reducing the gear oil’s lubricating qualities.
■ When you drive through water
If driving through water, such as when crossing shallow streams , first check
the depth of the water and the bottom of the riverbed for firmn ess. Drive
slowly and avoid deep water.
■ Inspection after off-road driving
● Sand and mud that has accumulated in brake drums and around bra ke
discs may affect braking efficiency and may damage brake system compo-
nents.
● Always perform a maintenance inspection after each day of off-r oad driv-
ing that has taken you through rough terrain, sand, mud, or wat er. For
scheduled maintenance information, refer to the “Scheduled Maintenance
Guide” or “Owner’s Manual Supplement”.
