All-Wheel
Drive
(AWD)
System
If your vehicle has all-wheel drive (AWD), the AWD
system operates automatically without any action
required by the driver.
If
the front drive wheels begin
to
slip, the rear wheels will automatically begin
to
drive
the vehicle as required. There may be
a
slight
engagement noise during hard use but this is normal.
During heavy AWD applications, the engine torque may
be reduced
to
protect AWD system components. If
the vehicle is exposed to extended heavy AWD usage,
the AWD system will shut itself
off
to protect the
system from overheating. When the system cools down,
the AWD system will activate itself again automatically;
this cool-down can take up
to
20
minutes depending
on outside temperature and vehicle use. See
All-Wheel
Drive
Disable Warning Message
on
page
3-52.

Steering
If you lose power steering assist because the engine
stops or the system is not functioning, you can steer but
it
will take much more effort.
