AWD AUTO
(AWD LOCK
is
deactivated)
• AWD Auto is used when driving
on roads in normal conditions,
roads in urban areas, and on
highways.
• All wheels are in operation
when your vehicle travels at a
constant speed. Required
traction forces on front and rear
wheels may differ depending
on road conditions and driving
conditions, which are
automatically controlled by the
system.
• The cluster displays how the
four wheels’ traction forces are
distributed.
AWD LOCK
• AWD Lock mode maximizes the
vehicle’s traction under
extreme driving conditions
such as unpaved off-road,
sandy roads, and muddy roads.
• AWD Lock mode operates only
when travelling at 37 mph (60
km/h) or less. When traveling
over 37 mph (60 km/h), the
mode switches to AWD Auto.
• When AWD Lock mode
illuminates, the cluster does not
display the front/rear wheel
traction force distribution
status.
• Press the AWD Lock mode
switch again to switch back to
AWD Auto.
