All Wheel Drive (Awd) System (If; Awd (Awd/Snow Mode) - Kia 2020 Telluride Owner's Manual

Driving your vehicle

All Wheel Drive (AWD) system (if

equipped)
The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
delivers engine power to front and
rear wheels for maximum traction.
AWD is useful when extra traction is
required, such as when driving slip-
pery, muddy, wet, or snow-covered
roads.
If the system determines there is a
need for four wheel drive, the
engine's driving power is distributed
to all four wheels automatically.
WARNING
If the AWD warning light ( ) stays
on the instrument cluster, your
vehicle may have a malfunction with
the AWD system. When the AWD
warning light ( ) illuminates, have
your vehicle checked by an autho-
rized Kia dealer as soon as possible.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS
INJURY or DEATH:
Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicle's intended
design such as challenging off-
road conditions.
Avoid high speeds when cornering
or turning.
Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
All Wheel Drive (AWD) system
The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of
your vehicle at highway speeds.
Loss of control often occurs if two
or more wheels drop off the road-
way and the driver over steers to
reenter the roadway.
In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer
sharply. Instead, slow down
before pulling back into the travel
lanes.

mance by controlling 4 wheels.
