Description
AWD
AUTO
-
䳜 AWD AUTO is used when driving on roads in normal conditions,
roads in urban areas, and on highways.
䳜 All wheels are in operation when a vehicle travels at a constant
speed. Required tractions are applied on front and rear wheels
vary depending on road and driving conditions, which will be auto
-
matically controlled by the computing system.
䳜 When the cluster's AWD Auto display mode is selected, the cluster
displays the status of how four wheels䳓 traction forces are distrib
-
uted.
AWD
LOCK
䳜 The main goal of AWD Lock mode is to allow a driver to maximize
the vehicle䳓s traction under extreme driving conditions such as
unpaved off-road, sandy roads, and muddy roads.
䳜 AWD Lock mode is in operation only when a vehicle travels at
60km/h (38 mph) or less. When travelling at 60km/h (38 mph) or
faster, the mode will switch to AWD Auto.
䳜 When AWD Lock mode illuminates, the cluster does not display the
front/rear wheel traction force distribution status.
䳜 Press the AWD Lock mode switch again to switch back to AWD
Auto.
