Driving your vehicle

AWD transfer mode selection

* SNOW ↔ MUD ↔ SAND

DRIVE MODE is used when driving on roads in normal

conditions, roads in urban areas, and on highways.

All wheels are in operation when a vehicle travels at a

constant speed. Required tractions applying on front

and rear wheels vary depending on road driving con-

ditions and driving conditions, which will be automat-

ically controlled by the computing system.

When the cluster's DRIVE MODE display mode is

selected, the cluster displays the status of how four

wheels' traction forces are distributed.

SNOW mode is used to appropriately distribute the

vehicle's traction forces and prevent wheel slippage

when driving on snowy or slippery road.

MUD mode is used to ensure safe driving by appropri-

ately distributing the vehicle's traction forces when

driving on muddy, unpaved or rough roads.

SAND mode is used to ensure safe driving by appropri-

ately distributing the vehicle's traction forces when

driving on sandy, gravelled or unpaved off-roads.
