Be sure to maintain Auto AWD mode when driving on normal roads. If you drive with
the AWD Lock mode on normal roads or curved roads, it may damage AWD parts and
cause vibration and noise. However, vibration and noise are normal conditions that will
disappear when Auto AWD mode is selected. Also, when the vehicle is changed from
AWD Lock to Auto AWD, a sensation may be felt as driving power is delivered to the
rear wheels.

• Use this mode when driving on normal roads.
• Under normal operating conditions, the vehicle

wheels automatically.
• Use this mode when driving on low traction roads.
• The engine's driving power is properly distributed
to the wheels, to help start the vehicle stably on low
traction roads or keep tires from slipping.
In the AWD LOCK mode, the system is deactivated when
