Normal road conditions
Maintain AWD Auto mode when
driving on roads in normal condi
-
tions.
When driving under normal road
conditions (especially when cor
-
nering) in AWD Lock mode, a
driver may find minor mechanical
vibration or noise, which is
extremely normal phenomenon,
not a malfunction. When AWD
Lock mode is released, such noise
or vibration will be immediately
gone.
For safe All Wheel Drive (AWD)
operation
All Wheel Drive
The conditions of on-road or off-
road that demand All Wheel Drive
mean all functions of your vehicle
are exposed to extreme stress than
under normal road conditions. Slow
down and be ready for changes in
the composition and traction of the
surface under your tires. If you have
any doubt about the safety of the
conditions you are facing, stop and
consider the best way to proceed.
Do not try to drive in deep stand
-
ing water or mud since such con
-
ditions can stall your engine and
clog your exhaust pipes. Do not
drive down steep hills since it
requires extreme skill to maintain
control of the vehicle.
When you are driving up or down
hills drive as straight as possible.
Use extreme caution in going up
or down steep hills, since you may
flip your vehicle over depending
on the grade, terrain and water/
mud conditions.
