Green became associated with St. Patrick's Day during the 19th century. Green, in Irish legends, was worn by fairies and immortals, and also by people to encourage their crops to grow. 
As a result, the theoretical driving
range increases to 1,060km in the city and more than 1,700km on the
highway. The combined-cycle fuel economy of 11.4 litres/100km1 delivers a
notional range of almost 1,400km.
Off-road driving competence is enhanced with CRAWL - a "feet-off"
control system that helps take the vehicle over severe or slippery
terrain.
It can assist in climbing or descending steep hills, freeing the
vehicle if it is stuck, and is also helpful in mud, sand and gravel, and
when fording water.
CRAWL control engages in L4 (low-range) and temporarily disengages at
speeds above 25km/h, or above 10km/h when the rear differential is
locked.
A speed-selector dial on the overhead console provides the choice of five speeds.
The system automatically maintains a low uniform vehicle speed uphill
and downhill by controlling both engine output and brake hydraulic
pressure, allowing the driver to concentrate fully on steering the
vehicle.
It increases vehicle stability in extreme four-wheel driving conditions, by minimising wheel spin and tyre lock-up.
The system has the added benefit of reducing potential damage to the
vehicle, by smoothly controlling vehicle speed over rugged terrain.
It reduces load on the drivetrain by smoothly controlling engine output and brake application.
CRAWL can be engaged under these conditions: transfer gear position
in L4, shift lever in any position except P or N, vehicle stopped, foot
brake on, parking brake off, doors closed, second-gear start system
switched off, CRAWL Control switch on and the VSC system in Normal mode.
FJ Cruiser is Toyota's fifth SUV and most recent addition to the LandCruiser family.
It is powered by a 200kW, 380Nm 4.0-litre V6 petrol engine with
five-speed automatic transmission, part-time 4x4, an electrically
activated rear differential lock and switchable Active Traction Control
technology to maximise off-road climbing ability.
It features impressive road clearance - a 36-degree approach angle,
31-degree departure angle and 29-degree break-over angle. The latter two
dimensions are the best for any vehicle in Toyota's local 4WD range.
FJ Cruiser is a modern interpretation of a Toyota classic, paying
homage to several of the most compelling stylistic themes of the
LandCruiser FJ40 of which more than 1.1 million were produced between
1960 and 1984.
The modern FJ inherits the DNA of the original, which was renowned as
a rugged, dependable vehicle that could travel to, and return from, any
extreme environment.
Its FJ-inspired features include angular lines, round headlights set
either side of a wide, mesh grille, an upright windscreen with three
wiper blades, a white roof and wrap-around rear corner windows.
