stress. AWD vehicles should be driven
only under the same conditions suitable
for ordinary front wheel drive vehicles.
For safety purpose as well as to avoid
damaging the AWD system, you should
keep the following tips in mind:
.
An AWD vehicle is better able to climb
steeper roads under snowy or slippery
conditions than a front wheel drive vehicle.
There is little difference in handling,
however, during extremely sharp turns or
sudden braking. Therefore, when driving
down a slope or turning corners, be sure
to reduce your speed and maintain an
ample distance from other vehicles.
.
Never attempt to drive through pools
and puddles, or roads flooded with water.
Water entering the engine air intake or the
exhaust pipe or water splashing onto
electrical parts may damage your vehicle
and may cause it to stall.
.
An AWD vehicle can be used to
traverse difficult areas covered with snow,
mud and slush, or sand and dirt. It is,
however, designed as an all-road vehicle
and not as an all-terrain vehicle. For this
reason, an AWD vehicle should be
handled with as much care as an ordinary
passenger vehicle.
.
Always check your brakes for effec-
tiveness immediately after driving in sand,
mud or puddle. Do this by driving slowly
and stepping on the brake pedal. Repeat
that process several times to dry out the
brake discs and brake pads.
.
Always check the cold tire pressure
before starting to drive. The recom-
mended tire pressure is provided on the
tire placard, which is located on the door
pillar on the driver
’
s side.
.
Tire chains should always be placed on
the front wheels only.
.
Frequent driving of an AWD model
under hard-driving conditions such as
steep hills or dusty roads will necessitate
more frequent replacement of the follow-
ing items than that specified in

All-Wheel Drive distributes the engine
power to all four wheels. In normal driving,
however, an AWD vehicle operates almost
the same as other vehicles with front
wheel drive. AWD vehicles provide better
traction when driving on slippery, wet or
snow-covered roads and when moving out
of mud, sand or dirt.
For safety purpose as well as to avoid
damaging the AWD system, you should
keep the following tips in mind.

An AWD vehicle is better able to climb
steeper roads under snowy or slippery
conditions than a two wheel drive vehicle.
There is little difference in handling,

ample distance from other vehicles.
