l
4-wheel drive operation
Example: “SNOW” mode is selected.
Your vehicle has been designed primarily for
use on paved roads.
But its unique 4-wheel drive system allows
you to occasionally travel on unpaved roads,
to campgrounds, picnic sites, and similar lo-
cations.
Not only does this ensure better handling on
dry, paved roads but also permits better trac-
tion when driving on slippery, wet or snow-
covered roads and when moving out of mud.
But it is not suitable for heavy off road use or
towing in rough conditions.
It is particularly important to note that 4-
wheel drive may not give sufficient hill
climbing ability with the regenerative brake
on steep slopes. You should try to avoid driv-
ing on steep slopes.
Also, you must exercise caution when driving
on sand and mud and when driving through
water because sufficient traction may not be
available in certain circumstances.
Please avoid driving the vehicle through
areas where the tyres may get stuck in deep
sand or mud.
The currently selected drive mode is dis-
played on the multi-information display.
In addition, when the drive mode is changed,
the selected mode appears on the interrupt
display screen of the information screen in
the multi-information display.
The drive mode display will appear on the in-
formation screen for a few seconds, and then
the original screen will return.
