Using All Wheel Drive (AWD)
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) System deliv
-
ers engine power to front and rear
wheels for maximum traction. AWD is
useful when extra traction is required,
such as when driving slippery, muddy,
wet, or snow-covered roads.
If the system determines there is a need
for four wheel drive, the engine's driving
power is distributed to all four wheels
automatically.
This vehicle is designed primarily for on
road use although it can operate effec
-
tively off road. However, it was not
designed to drive in challenging off-road
conditions. Driving in conditions that
exceed the vehicle's intended design or
the driver's experience level may result
in severe injury or death.
If the AWD warning light ( ) stays on
the instrument cluster, your vehicle may
have a malfunction with the AWD sys
-
tem. When the AWD warning light ( )
appears, have the vehicle be checked by
an authorized Kia dealer as soon as pos
-
sible.
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
僅 Do not drive in conditions that exceed
the vehicle's intended design such as
challenging offroad conditions.
