Driving assist systems
◆
Multi Terrain ABS (Anti-lock Brake System)
Helps to prevent wheel lock when the brakes are applied suddenly, or if the brakes are
applied while driving on a slippery road surface, or in off-road conditions (such as
rough roads, sand and mud)
◆
Brake assist
Generates an increased level of braking force after the brake pedal is depressed
when the system detects a panic stop situation
◆
VSC (Vehicle Stability Control)
Helps the driver to control skidding when swerving suddenly or turning on slippery
road surfaces
◆
Active TRAC (Traction Control)
Helps to maintain drive power and prevent the 4 wheels from spinning when starting
the vehicle or accelerating on slippery roads, or in off-road conditions
◆
Hill-start assist control
Helps to reduce the backward movement of the vehicle when starting on an incline or
slippery slope
◆
AVS (Adaptive Variable Suspension system)
By independently controlling the damping force of the shock absorbers for each of
the 4 wheels according to the road and driving conditions, this system helps riding
comfort with superior steering stability, and helps good vehicle posture. When
SPORT S+ mode is selected by the driving mode select switch, the damping force is
suitable for sporty driving. (
◆
VGRS (Variable Gear Ratio Steering)
Helps to adjust the wheel turning angle in accordance with the vehicle speed and
steering wheel movement.
◆
Trailer Sway Control
Helps the driver to control trailer sway by selectively applying brake pressure for indi-
vidual wheels and reducing engine torque when trailer sway is detected.
Trailer Sway Control is part of the VSC system and will not operate if VSC turned off
or experiences a malfunction.
To help enhance driving safety and performance, the following systems oper-
ate automatically in response to various driving situations. Be aware, however,
that these systems are supplementary and should not be relied upon too heav-
ily when operating the vehicle.

Dr
Accelerate the vehicle slowly, keep a safe distance between you and the vehicle
ahead, and drive at a reduced speed suitable to road conditions.
●
Park the vehicle and move the shift lever to P without setting the parking
brake. The parking brake may freeze up, preventing it from being released. If
the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, make sure to block the
wheels.
Failure to do so may be dangerous because it may cause the vehicle to move
unexpectedly, possibly leading to an accident.
●
If the vehicle is parked without setting the parking brake, confirm that the shift
lever cannot be moved out of P

Off-road precautions
●
Specific design characteristics give it a higher center of gravity than ordinary
passenger cars. This vehicle design feature causes this type of vehicle to be
more likely to rollover. And, utility vehicles have a significantly higher rollover
rate than other types of vehicles.
●
An advantage of the higher ground clearance is a better view of the road
allowing you to anticipate problems.
●
It is not designed for cornering at the same speeds as ordinary passenger cars
any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily
under off-road conditions. Therefore, sharp turns at excessive speeds may
cause the vehicle to rollover.
This vehicle belongs to the utility vehicle class, which has higher ground clear-
ance and narrower tread in relation to the height of its center of gravity to
make it capable of performing in a wide variety of off-road applications.

WARNING
■
Off-road vehicle precautions
Always observe the following precautions to minimize the risk of death, serious injury
or damage to your vehicle:
●
In a rollover crash, an unbelted person is significantly more likely to die than a person
wearing a seat belt. Therefore, the driver and all passengers should always fasten
their seat belts.
●
Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers, if at all possible.
Failure to operate this vehicle correctly may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover
causing death or serious injury.
●
Loading cargo on the roof luggage carrier will make the center of the vehicle gravity
higher. Avoid high speeds, sudden starts, sharp turns, sudden braking or abrupt
maneuvers, otherwise it may result in loss of control or vehicle rollover due to failure
to operate this vehicle correctly.
●
Always slow down in gusty crosswinds. Because of its profile and higher center of
gravity, your vehicle is more sensitive to side winds than an ordinary passenger car.
Slowing down will allow you to have better control.
●
Do not drive horizontally across steep slopes. Driving straight up or straight down is
preferred. Your vehicle (or any similar off-road vehicle) can tip over sideways much
more easily than forward or backward.
394
4-6. Driving tips
When driving your vehicle off-road, please observe the following precautions to
ensure your driving enjoyment and to help prevent the closure of areas to off-
road vehicles:
●
Drive your vehicle only in areas where off-road vehicles are permitted to
travel.
●
Respect private property. Get owner’s permission before entering private
property.
●
Do not enter areas that are closed. Honor gates, barriers and signs that
restrict travel.
●
Stay on established roads. When conditions are wet, driving techniques
should be changed or travel delayed to prevent damage to roads.
