2-4. Using other driving systems n Advice for driving on slippery roads in "L" (low speed position) l If you shift the four-wheel drive control lever to "L" and the shift lever to "2" while driving in steep off-road areas, the output of the brake can be controlled effectively by the active traction control system, which assists the driver to control the driving power of 4 wheels. l Use the "L" position of the shift lever for maximum power and traction when your wheels get stuck or when you drive down a steep incline. In the following cases, the output of the brake can be controlled by the active traction control system if the engine speed is under 3,000 rpm (normally under 3,000 rpm when the wheels get unstuck). • The four-wheel drive control lever in the "L" position and the shift lever in the "L" position or the shift lever in the "D", "4", "3" or "2" with the transmission downshifting to first gear. • The four-wheel drive control lever in the "L" position and the shift lever in the "R" position. n The center differential lock/unlock button can be operated when l The ignition key is in the "ON" position, and l The four-wheel drive control lever is in the "H" or "L" position. n Locking /unlocking the center differential l When the center differential is locked, VSC (vehicle stability control) is auto- matically turned off. (Center differential lock and "VSC OFF" indicator light come on.) l When the operation is not completed, the center differential lock indicator blinks. If the indicator light does not go off when unlocking the center differential, drive straight ahead while accelerating or decelerating, or drive in reverse. l The center differential lock system operation is not completed within 5 seconds while the cruise control system is set, cancel the cruise control system. 140
