4-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEM*
4-Wheel Drive System
Transfer case which allows you, in the case of part-time
four wheel drive, to switch between two-wheel drive and
four-wheel drive. Compared with two-wheel drive
vehicles, this system provides more stable driving
conditions. This system ensures a more stable drive
on wet or slippery roads. In case the greater traction is
needed, you can shift into 4 Wheel Drive Low (4L).
4L : 4-Wheel Drive, Low
Use this position for maxi-
mum traction.
4H : 4-Wheel Drive, High
Use this position on wet or
slippery roads such as sandy,
muddy or snow covered
roads.
2H : 2-Wheel Drive
This is rear wheel drive with
high speed. Use this position
for normal driving. This posi-
tion gives greater fuel
economy, quieter ride and
least drive train wear.
DRIVING MODE
Types of Four-Wheel Drive System
All-Wheel Drive (AWD)*
AWD stands for the full-time 4WD system.
AWD reduces wheel slipage and provides greater
driver control over the vehicle. AWD automatically splits
the torque between the front (40%) and rear (60%)
wheels. This system controls the vehicle traction force
along with the ESP system.
Part-Time 4-Wheel Drive
Normally, the vehicle is driving in 2WD mode. But if
needed, it can be changed into 4WD High (4H), and
4WD Low (4L) by pressing the switch. This is equipped
with the control unit that supports the mode transfer.
In 4WD mode, the system splits the torque between
the front (50%) and rear (50%) wheels.
