Driving your vehicle
Driving on snow-covered or icy roads
• Start off slowly by applying the
accelerator pedal gently.
• Use snow tires or tire chains.
• Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
• Apply engine braking during
deceleration by using the paddle shifter
(manual shift mode) and manually
selecting a lower gear.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent skids.
Information
• When using Snow Tires, mount them on
all four wheels.
• When using tire chains, install them on
the rear tires. However, driving speed
must be below 20 mph (30 km/h) and
minimize the driving distance.
High-speed or long-term driving with
tire chains installed may malfunction or
damage the AWD system.
• If tire chains must be used, use
AutoSock (fabric snow chain) and
install the tire chain after reviewing the
instructions provided with the tire
chains.
For more information on Snow Tires
and Tire Chains, refer to the "Winter
Driving" in this chapter.
Driving in sand or mud
• Maintain slow and constant speed.
• Use tire chains driving in mud if
necessary.
• Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
• Reduce vehicle speed and always
check the road condition.
• Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.
NOTICE
When the vehicle is stuck in snow, sand or
mud, place a nonslip material under the
drive wheels to provide traction OR slowly
spin the wheels in forward and reverse
directions which causes a rocking motion
that may free the vehicle.
However, avoid running the engine
continuously at high RPM, doing so may
damage the AWD system.
Driving up or down hills
• Driving uphill
- Before starting off, check if it is
possible to drive uphill.
- Drive as straight as possible.
• Driving downhill
- Do not change gear while driving
downhill. Select gear before driving
downhill.
- Drive slowly using engine braking
while driving downhill.
- Drive straight as possible.
WARNING
Exercise extreme caution driving up or
down steep hills. The vehicle may flip over
depending on the grade, terrain, water
and mud conditions.
WARNING
Do not drive across the contour of steep
hills. A slight change in the wheel angle
can destabilize the vehicle, or a stable
vehicle may lose stability if the vehicle
stops its forward motion. Your vehicle
may roll over and lead to a serious injury
or death.
