Selected mode Description
Auto AWD
(Normal diving)
-
• Use this mode when driving on normal roads.
• Under normal operating conditions, the vehicle operates
similar to conventional 2WD vehicles. If the system
determines there is a need for four wheel drive, the
engine's driving power is distributed to all four wheels
automatically.
SNOW
• Use this mode when driving on slippery roads.
• The engine’s driving power is properly distributed to the
wheels, to help start the vehicle stably on slippery roads
or keep tyres from slipping.
MUD
• Use this mode when driving on muddy, unpaved or
uneven roads
• The engine’s driving power is properly distributed to the
wheels, to secure sufficient driving force that will help
start the vehicle.
SAND
• Use this mode when driving on smooth, dry sand or deep
gravel and unpaved roads.
• The engine’s driving power is properly distributed to the
wheels, to help drive safely on smooth, dry sand or deep
gravel and unpaved roads.
Be sure to maintain Auto AWD mode when driving on normal roads. If you drive with
the Multi Terrain mode on normal roads or curved roads, it may damage AWD parts
and cause vibration and noise. However, vibration and noise are normal conditions that
will disappear when Auto AWD mode is selected. Also, when the vehicle is changed
from Multi Terrain mode (SNOW, MUD or SAND) to Auto AWD, a sensation may be felt
as driving power is delivered to the rear wheels.
WARNING
If the AWD ( ) warning light stays on the instrument cluster, your vehicle may
have a malfunction with the AWD system. Whenever the AWD ( ) warning light
illuminates we recommend that the vehicle be inspected by an authorised Retailer
of Genesis Branded Products as soon as possible.
