CAUTION
l Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S-
AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-
tem, like any other system, has limits and
cannot help you to maintain traction and
control of the vehicle in all circumstances.
Reckless driving may lead to accidents. It is
the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully.
This means taking into account the traffic,
road and environmental conditions.
Twin Motor 4WD
This system improves vehicle stability per-
formance and fuel economy performance
during acceleration and deceleration by mo-
tors provided at front and rear wheels, re-
spectively, controlling the distribution of a
drive force between the front and rear wheels
optimal for the operation of the driver.
Active yaw control system
(AYC)
E00622801044
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ-
ential limiting function and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the left-right driving/brak-
ing force by managing the brake.
CAUTION
l Control of the braking force does not en-
hance the stopping performance of the vehi-
cle, therefore, pay careful attention to the
safety of your surroundings when driving.
Left-right differential limiting
function
The left-right differential limiting function is
a function that enhances driving performance
and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-
ning of a wheel when driving on a slippery
road or when the road surfaces of left and
right wheels are different.
Yaw control function
The yaw control function is a function that
enhances vehicle cornering performance and
vehicle stability with management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling
the brake force when the vehicle does not
turn in response to steering input, such as
when the steering wheel is turned quickly or
when driving on a slippery road.
4WD lock switch
E00637000047
If the 4WD lock switch is pressed when the
power mode is “ON”, it will switch to “4WD
LOCK.”
It can be used from a low-speed to high-
speed operation, and the driving stability im-
proves on a wet road surface or a snowy
road, etc.
If the 4WD lock switch is pressed once again,
it will return to “NORMAL.”.
When the 4WD LOCK mode is activated, the
above display appears on the information
screen in the multi-information display for
some seconds.
