The electronically controlled 4WD system
helps improve acceleration and vehicle stabil-
ity by controlling the front-rear distribution of
driving torque using the electronic control
coupling in the rear differential assembly.
Select the drive mode from the following 3
types to suit the driving conditions.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv-
ing skills.
Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation”
section on page 5-85 and take care to drive
safely.
