All Wheel Drive (AWD) System*
DBC helps drivers maneuver down steep hills by automatically

steering.

, the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when driving on wet
pavement, snow-covered roads and/or on unpaved roads.
• This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on unpaved roads,
driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc., to improve traction
• This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph and is shifted
to AWD AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph. If the vehicle decelerates to speeds
below approximately 38 mph, however, the transfer mode is shifted into AWD LOCK
mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is
delivered entirely to the front wheels. This shock is not a mechanical failure.
The AWD system is a supplemental system only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully depending on
road and traffic conditions.
See section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.

QUICK TIPS
REMINDER: DBC defaults to OFF when ignition is cycled.
The DBC system is a supplemental system and does not replace the
need for the driver to apply the brakes. Pay attention to road and
traffic conditions and be prepared to depress the brakes.
