Driving
All-Wheel Drive
The active on-demand All-Wheel Drive
(AWD) system provides available
optimum traction for a wide variety of
road and off-road surface and driving
conditions. The system minimizes
wheel slip by automatically redirecting
torque to the front and rear wheels as
necessary.
To maximise fuel economy, the AWD
system automatically disangages
torque distribution on front axle when
road and environmental conditions
are such that wheel slip is unlikely
to occur. When specific road and
environmental conditions require
increased levels of road traction,
the AWD system automatically
distributes the torque between
front and rear axle in order to grant
the best driving experience. Torque
distribution is displayed on the TFT in
the “Drive Mode” main menu. Refer
to paragraph “TFT Display: Menus
and Settings” in chapter “Instrument
Cluster” of section “Dashboard
Instruments and Controls” for further
information.
WARNING!
There may be a slight delay for
AWD engagement after a wheel slip
condition occurs.
NOTE:
If the AWD system service warning
message appears after engine start
up, or during driving, it means that
the AWD system is not functioning
properly or is in recovery mode due to
overheating caused by the excessive
wheel spin. In this condition the
vehicle can continue driving but only
rear wheel drive is working. If the
warning message is often activated, it
is recommended to have the vehicle
serviced at the
Service Network .
