Super Handling-All Wheel; Drive (Sh-Awd ) System - Acura TL 2012 Owner's Manual

Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD ) System
If equipped
The super handling-all wheel drive
(SH-AWD) system is a full time all-
wheel-drive system that
automatically controls and transfers
varying amounts of engine torque to
all wheels independently, according
to the driving conditions.
While the SH-AWD system helps to
enhance the vehicle's driving
stability in all situations, it is still
your responsibility to drive and
corner at reasonable speeds and to
leave a sufficient margin of safety.

The SH-AWD torque distribution
monitor on the multi-information

Each wheel − right front (RF),
left front (LF), right rear (RR), ~~~~~~
and left rear (LR) has its own
−
torque indicator.

Each torque indicator is displayed as
a bar graph divided into 5 segments.
The number of segments represents
the amount of torque distributed to
each wheel.
When there is only a slight change
in torque distribution while driving,
such as cruising on level roads at
the same speed, the torque
distribution monitor may stop
displaying the amount of torque.
This is not a system problem. The
monitor will show the amount if the
system senses any change
in torque distribution.
