Cautions on handling of all-wheel drive

Tires and wheels

Since driving torque can be applied to all four wheels, the per-

formance of the vehicle when operating in all-wheel drive is

greatly affected by the condition of the tires.

Pay close attention to the tires.

Install specified tires on all wheels. Refer to "Tires and

wheels" on page 9-10.

Be sure to fit all four tires and wheels of the same size and

When replacement of any of the tires or wheels is neces-

sary, replace all of them.

All tires should be rotated whenever the wear difference

between the front and rear tires is recognizable.

Good vehicle performance cannot be expected if there is a dif-

ference in wear between tires. Refer to "Tire rotation" on page

Check the tire inflation pressure regularly.

Always use tires of the same size, same type, and

same brand, and which have no wear differences.

Using tires that differ in size, type, brands or the

degree of wear, will increase the differential oil tem-

perature, resulting in possible damage to the driving

system. Further, the drive train will be subjected to

excessive loading, possibly leading to oil leakage,

component seizure, or other serious problems.
