All-Wheel Drive (AWD) System

If the vehicle has all-wheel drive (AWD), the AWD
system operates automatically without any action
required by the driver. If the front drive wheels begin to
slip, the rear wheels will automatically begin to drive
the vehicle as required. Torque is also applied to
the rear wheels during launches. There may be a slight
engagement noise during hard use but this is normal.
This light and the SERVICE ALL WHEEL DRIVE
message in the DIC will come on and stay on to indicate
there may be a problem with the drive system and
service is required.
See Service All-Wheel Drive Light on page 3-39 and
DIC Warnings and Messages on page 3-49 for
more information.
The Service All-Wheel
Drive Light is located on
the instrument panel
cluster.
