All-Wheel Drive (Option)
NOTICE:
After installing a compact spare tire on a vehicle
with all
-
wheel drive you will need to drive with
light to moderate acceleration, for 10 seconds, in
a straight line. This action will allow the vehicle
to detect the compact spare tire and disable the
all
-
wheel drive system. The AWD DISABLE
message will come on indicating that the
all
-
wheel drive system is off. You may detect a
slight pull during this time, but this is normal.
Damage to the all
-
wheel drive system will
occur, if the vehicle is driven for an extended
period with a compact spare tire installed
and the all
-
wheel drive system in operation.
See “All
-
Wheel Drive System” and “AWD
Disable Warning Message” in the Index for
more information.
If You’re Stuck: In Sand, Mud,
Ice or Snow
In order to free your vehicle when it is stuck, you
will need to spin the wheels, but you don’t want to spin
your wheels too fast. The method known as “rocking”
can help you get out when you’re stuck, but you must
use caution.
CAUTION:
If you let your tires spin at high speed, they can
explode, and you or others could be injured. And,
the transaxle or other parts of the vehicle can
overheat. That could cause an engine
compartment fire or other damage. When you’re
stuck, spin the wheels as little as possible. Don’t
spin the wheels above 35 mph (55 km/h) as shown
on the speedometer.
