Driving your vehicle All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
sharply. Instead, slow down before
pulling back into the travel lanes.
Mud or snow
If one of the front or rear wheels begins
to spin in mud, snow, etc. the vehicle can
sometimes be driven out by engaging
the accelerator pedal further; however
avoid running the engine continuously
at high rpm because doing so could
damage the AWD system.
Driving in sand or mud
僅 Maintain slow and constant speed.
Operate the accelerator pedal slowly
to ensure safe driving (wheel-slip pre
-
vention).
僅 Use tyre chains driving in mud if nec
-
essary.
僅 Keep sufficient distance between your
vehicle and the vehicle in front of you.
僅 Reduce vehicle speed and always
check the road condition.
僅 Avoid speeding, rapid acceleration,
sudden brake applications, and sharp
turns to prevent getting stuck.
僅 When the vehicle is stuck in snow,
sand or mud, the tyres may not oper
-
ate.
僅 This is to protect the transmission and
not a malfunction.
Moving the car forcibly to get out of
mud or sand can cause damage/over
-
heat of the engine or damage/break
-
down of the transmission, differential or
AWD system as well as damage to tyres.
If excessive wheel slip occurs after
entering a sandy/muddy road, the vehi
-
cle may fall into the sand/mud. When it
happens, put a stone or a tree branch
under the tyre, and then try to pull out
the car, or try to get it unstuck by
repeatedly moving forwards and back
-
wards.
Your vehicle is equipped with tyres
designed to provide safe ride and han
-
dling capability. Do not use tyres and
wheels that are different in size and type
from the originally installed ones. It can
affect the safety and performance of
your vehicle, which could lead to steer
-
ing failure or rollover and serious injury.
When replacing the tyres, be sure to
equip all four tyres with the tyre and
wheel of the same size, type, tread,
brand and load-carrying capacity.
Jacked vehicle
Whilst the full-time AWD vehicle is being
raised on a jack, never start the engine
or cause the tyres to rotate.
There is the danger that rotating tyres
touching the ground could cause the
jack to go off the vehicle and to jump
forward.
僅 Full-time AWD vehicles must be
tested on a special four wheel chassis
dynamometer.
Never engage the parking brake whilst
performing these tests.
僅 A full-time AWD vehicle should not be
tested on a FWD roll tester. If a FWD
roll tester must be used, perform the
following:
