NOTE: If the "SERVICE AWD SYSTEM" warning mes-

sage appears after engine start up, or during driving, it

means that the AWD system is not functioning properly

and that service is required. Refer to "Driver Information

Display (DID)" in "Understanding Your Instrument

Panel" for further information.

All wheels must have the same size and type tires.

Unequal tire sizes must not be used. Unequal tire

size may cause failure of the front differential and/or

the transfer case.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip-

pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull

erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs

when there is a difference in the surface traction under

the rear (driving) wheels.

Rapid acceleration on slippery surfaces is dangerous.

Unequal traction can cause sudden pulling of the rear

wheels. You could lose control of the vehicle and

possibly have a collision. Accelerate slowly and

carefully whenever there is likely to be poor traction

(ice, snow, wet mud, loose sand, etc.).
