Description
AWD AUTO
(Normal driving)
-
In the AWD AUTO mode, under normal operating conditions, the vehicle operates
similar to conventional 2WD vehicles. If the system determines there is a need for four
wheel drive, the engine's driving power is distributed to all four wheels automatically.
Use this mode when driving on normal roads.
If you select the "Driving force distribution" in the cluster, Driving force distribution
(AWD) state is displayed.
SNOW
In this mode, the vehicle can start stably by properly distributing the driving force of
the vehicle on slippery roads such as snowy roads. And you can drive safely by
suppressing wheel slip.
AWD LOCK
•
The main goal of AWD Lock mode is toallow a driver to maximize the vehicle's
traction under extreme driving conditions such as unpaved off-road, sandy roads,
and muddy roads.
•
AWD Lock mode is in operation only when a vehicle travels at 25 mph (40 km/h)
or less. When travelling at 25 mph (40 km/h) or faster, the mode will switch to AWD
Auto. When travelling at 20 mph (30 km/h) or less, the mode will switch back to
AWD Lock.
•
Press the AWD Lock mode switch again to switch back to AWD Auto.
AWD Operation
All Wheel Drive (AWD) mode selection
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is delivered entirely to the front
wheels. This shock is not a mechanical failure.
