Starting & Driving
All-Wheel Drive System (AWD)
*
For a car equipped with the all-wheel drive
system (AWD), all the wheels can only use
tyres of the same specification from the same
tyre manufacturer when the car is normally
moving, otherwise the driveability and driving
safety may be adversely affected.
The all-wheel drive system (AWD) controls the reasonable
distribution of engine torque to the four wheels in
accordance with the driver's intention, vehicle status
and actual road conditions to improve the off-road drive
capability, mobility, driving stability and safety of the car.
Drive Mode
Auto-mode
The all-wheel drive system automatically switch between
two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive in accordance with
the vehicle status and actual road conditions. When the
all-wheel drive confirms that it needs the all-wheel drive
mode, it will reasonably distribute engine torque to the
four wheels without the driver's intervention.
Lock-mode
A car can obtain larger traction in the lock mode.
We recommend you use this mode under tough road
conditions such as unpaved roads, bumpy roads, steep
roads, sandy roads and slippery roads.
