Essential Information (continued)

All-Wheel Drive

All-wheel drive uses all four wheels to power the 
vehicle. This increases traction, enabling you to drive 
over terrain and road conditions that a conventional 
two-wheel drive vehicle cannot. The AWD system is 
active all the time and requires no input from  
the driver.

Tips for Driving on Various Surfaces

 

Sand:

 When driving over sand, try to keep all four 

wheels on the most solid area of the trail. Avoid 
reducing the tire pressures but shift to a lower gear 
and drive steadily through the terrain. Apply the 
accelerator slowly and avoid spinning the wheels.

Mud and Water:

 If you must drive through high 

water, drive slowly. Traction or brake capability may 
be limited. 
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or 
direction when you are driving in mud. Even AWD 
vehicles can lose traction in slick mud. As when you 
are driving over sand, apply the accelerator slowly 
and avoid spinning your wheels. If the vehicle does 
slide, steer in the direction of the slide until you 
regain control of the vehicle.

After driving through mud, clean off residue stuck to 
rotating driveshafts and tires. Excess mud stuck on 
tires and rotating driveshafts causes an imbalance 
that could damage drive components.

Snow and Ice:

 AWD vehicles have advantages over 

2WD vehicles in snow and ice but can skid like any 
other vehicle. Should you start to slide while driving 
on snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel in the 
direction of the slide until you regain control. Avoid 
sudden applications of power and quick changes 
of direction on snow and ice. Apply the accelerator 
slowly and steadily when starting from a full stop.

Note:

 

Your AWD vehicle is not for off-road  

use. The AWD feature gives your vehicle some  
limited off-road capabilities. See the 

All-Wheel  

Drive

 chapter in your 

Owner's Manual

 for  

complete details.

Hill Start Assist

This system makes it easier to pull away when 
your vehicle is on a slope without the need to use 
a parking brake. When the system is active, your 
vehicle remains stationary on the slope for two to 
three seconds after you release the brake pedal. 
Once the engine develops sufficient drive or torque, 
the brakes release automatically.

Note:

 The driver is always responsible for controlling 

the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening 
if required. Refer to your 

Owner’s Manual

 for safety 

information, more details and limitations.
