CAUTION
l
The system may be malfunctioning.
Park your vehicle in a safe place and stop
the engine.
Restart the engine and check whether the
warning display goes out.
If the
warning display goes out, there
is no abnormal condition. If the
ing display does not go out or appears fre-
quently, it is not necessary to stop the ve-
hicle immediately, but we recommend
you to have your vehicle inspected.
NOTE
l
If the ambient temperature drops and the vis-
cosity of the AWC control fluid increases,
the warning may be displayed.
At this time, ACD control is temporarily sus-
pended, but this will not affect normal driving.
After the vehicle is driven for a while, if the
engine is restarted after the AWC control flu-
id warms up or the ambient temperature in-
creases, the ACD control will start operating
again if the warning display goes out.
Full-time 4WD
Full-time 4WD vehicles are propelled by engine
power distributed constantly and appropriately to
all 4 wheels.
Not only does this ensure better handling on dry,
paved roads but also permits better traction when
driving on slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and
when moving out of mud.
warn-
These vehicles, however, are not designed for off-
road use, and are unsuitable for driving on bum-
py ground that may cause excessive strain. Full-
time 4WD vehicles should be driven only under the
same conditions as are suitable for ordinary front-
wheel drive vehicles.

Tyres and wheels
Since the driving torque can be applied to the 4
wheels, the driving performance of the vehicle
when operating in 4-wheel drive is greatly affected
by the condition of the tyres.
Pay close attention to the tyres.
l
Install only the specified tyres on all wheels.
Refer to "Tyres and wheels" on page 9-28.
l
Be sure all 4 tyres and wheels are the same
size and type.
When it is necessary to replace any of the
tyres or wheels, replace all 4 tyres.
l
All tyres should be rotated before the wear
difference between the front and rear tyres is
recognizable.
Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if
there is a difference in wear between tyres. Refer to
"Tyre rotation" on page 8-16.
l
Check the tyre inflation pressure regularly.
