Driving tips for AWD models
S08AG
WARNING
. Always maintain a safe driving
speed according to the road and
weather conditions in order to
avoid having an accident on a
sharp turn, during sudden brak-
ing or under other similar condi-
tions.
. Always use the utmost care in
driving - overconfidence because
you are driving an All-Wheel
Drive model could easily lead to
a serious accident.
. When replacing a tire, you must
use a tire that is of the same size,
circumference, construction,
brand (tread pattern), speed sym-
bol and load index as the original
tires listed on the tire placard.
Using tires of other sizes, cir-
cumferences or constructions
may result in severe mechanical
damage to the drive train of your
vehicle and may affect ride,
handling, braking, speedometer/
odometer calibration, and clear-
ance between the body and tires.
It also may be dangerous and
lead to loss of vehicle control.
. You must install four tires that are
of the same size, circumference,
construction, manufacturer,
brand (tread pattern), degree of
wear, speed symbol and load
index. Mixing tires of other sizes,
circumferences or constructions
may result in severe mechanical
damage to the drive train of your
vehicle and may affect ride,
handling, braking and speed-
ometer/odometer calibration. It
also may be dangerous and lead
to loss of vehicle control.
All-Wheel Drive distributes the engine
power to all four wheels. AWD models
provide better traction when driving on
slippery, wet or snow-covered roads and
when moving out of mud, sand or dirt.
For safety purpose as well as to avoid
damaging the AWD system, you should
keep the following tips in mind:
. An AWD model is better able to climb
steeper roads under snowy or slippery
conditions than a two wheel drive model.
There is little difference in han dling,
however, during extremely sharp turns or
sudden braking. Therefore, when driving
down a slope or turning corners, be sure
to reduce your speed and maintain an
ample distance from other vehicles.
. Always check the cold tire pressure
before starting to drive. The recom-
mended tire pressure is provided on the
tire placard, which is located under the
door latch on the driver’s side.
. Tire chains should always be placed on
the front wheels only.
. Frequent driving of an AWD model
under hard-driving conditions such as
steep hills or dusty roads will necessitate
more frequent replacement of engine oil,
brake fluid and transmission oil than that
specified in “
s11aaMaintenance schedule”
F11-3.
. There are some precautions that you
must observe when towing your vehicle.
