Driving
Intelligent VTM4 (i-VTM4) *
The Intelligent VTM4 (i-VTM4) is a full time all wheel drive system that automatically
controls and transfers varying amount of engine torque to all wheels independently
according to the driving conditions.
You still need to exercise the same care when accelerating, steering, and braking
that you would in a two wheel drive vehicle.
Avoid continuously driving on slippery surfaces where a wheel is likely to spin out,
and do not drive if the AWD indicator starts blinking. Driving continuously under
such conditions can damage the system's torque distribution unit.
If the AWD indicator blinks while driving, it indicates the differential temperature is
too high. If this happens, pull to the side of the road when it is safe, shift to park, an
idle the engine idle until the indicator goes out. If the indicator does not go out, take
your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked.
