Driving and Operating
Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
Vehicles with this feature can
operate in All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) Mode.
The AWD system delivers power to
all four wheels and the system
adjusts as needed to improve
traction.
Press the AWD switch on the centre
console to activate the system. The
AWD light will flash briefly while the
system is engaging and stay lit to
indicate AWD is active.
Press the switch again to disable
the system. The light will flash
briefly while the system disables
and then stay off.
The AWD Mode will stay selected
until the mode is changed.
When operated in two-wheel drive,
the vehicle will deliver power to the
front wheels only and may provide
better fuel economy.
A system off message displays if
there is a temporary condition
making the AWD system
unavailable. The vehicle will run in
two-wheel drive.
This could be caused by:
.
A compact spare tyre on the
vehicle.
.
AWD system overheat.
.
Loss of wheel or vehicle speed.
.
Certain other vehicle electrical
conditions.
The message turns off when the
compact spare tyre is replaced by a
full-size tyre, the differential fluid
cools, or the above conditions are
no longer present and the warning
message is reset.
To reset the warning message
manually, turn the ignition off and
then back on again after
30 seconds. If the message stays
on, see your dealer.
