S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped)
5-86 Features and controls
5
The Differential assembly that limits the front
left-right differential speed by operating elec-
tronic control clutch arranged in the transfer
assembly.
The left-right differential limiting function is
a function that enhances driving performance
and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-
ning of a wheel when driving on slippery
road or when the road surfaces of left and
right wheels are different.
The yaw control function is a function that
enhances vehicle cornering performance and
vehicle stability with management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling
the drive power difference of the left and
right wheels and the braking force when the
vehicle does not turn in response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel is
turned quickly or when driving on slippery
road.

Select the drive mode from the following four
types to suit the driving conditions.

 Control of the braking force does not
enhance the stopping performance of the
vehicle, therefore, pay careful attention to
the safety of your surroundings when driv-
ing.

AWC ECO
This is the most fuel efficient
mode. Normal operation is in
2WD, but 4WD performance
will be provided under slippery
conditions.
NORMAL
This mode can be used on both
dry and wet roads. The distri-
bution of driving/braking
torque to each wheel is auto-
matically controlled according
to the driving condition.
SNOW
This mode is for driving on
slippery road surfaces, such as
snow-covered roads.
LOCK
This mode is for driving where
maximum traction is required.
This mode is suitable for driv-
ing on rough roads or driving
in mud, sand or fresh snow.
