Driving your vehicle
• This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades,
off-road driving, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc., to
maximize traction.
• This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds
above 30 km/h (19 mph) and is shifted to AWD AUTO mode
at speeds above 40 km/h (25 mph). If the vehicle decelerates
to speeds below approximate 40 km/h (25 mph), however,
the transfer mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again.

Description
• When driving in AWD AUTO mode, the vehicle operates sim-
ilar to conventional FWD vehicles under normal operating
conditions. However, if the system determines that there is a
need for the AWD mode, the engine’s driving power is dis-
tributed to all four wheels automatically without driver inter-
vention.
• When driving on normal roads and pavement, the vehicle
moves similar to conventional FWD vehicles.
AWD LOCK
(Indicator light is
illuminated)
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.
CAUTION
- Normal road conditions
Do not drive on normal roads for prolonged periods of time with your vehicle locked in the AWD mode.
Driving on normal road with AWD LOCK Mode (especially, when cornering) may cause mechanical noise or
vibration which may damage your power train.
