attempt to rock the vehicle free by
moving it forward and backward. Do

or objects are anywhere near the
vehicle. During the rocking operation
the vehicle may suddenly move for-
ward of backward as it becomes
unstuck, causing injury or damage
to nearby people or objects.

All Wheel Drive (AWD) system

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 will be dis-
tributed to all four wheels automat-
ically.
WARNING
Off road driving
This vehicle is designed primarily for
on road use although it can operate
effectively off road. However, it was
not designed to drive in challenging
off-road conditions. Driving in con-
ditions that exceed the vehicle's
intended design or the driver's
experience level may result in
severe injury or death. (if equipped)
