remain in that mode until the pow-
ertrain cools off.
− If the system detects a problem, it
will disable the AutoStickT mode and
the transmission will return to the
automatic mode until the problem is
corrected.
ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) — IF
EQUIPPED
This feature provides on-demand All-
Wheel Drive (AWD). The system is auto-
matic with no driver inputs or additional
driving skills required. Under normal driv-
ing conditions, the front wheels provide
most of the traction. If the front wheels
begin to lose traction, power is shifted
automatically to the rear wheels. The
greater the front wheel traction loss, the
greater the power transfer to the rear
wheels.
Additionally, on dry pavement under
heavy throttle input (where one may have
no wheel spin), torque will be sent to the
rear in a pre-emptive effort to improve
vehicle launch and performance charac-
teristics.
CAUTION!
All wheels must have the same size
and type tires. Unequal tire sizes
must not be used. Unequal tire size
may cause failure of the power trans-
fer unit.
DRIVING ON SLIPPERY
SURFACES
Acceleration
Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet,
or other slippery surfaces may cause the
front wheels to pull erratically to the right
or left. This phenomenon occurs when
there is a difference in the surface traction
under the front (driving) wheels.
