S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped)
CAUTION
 Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S-
AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-
tem, like any other system, has limits and
cannot help you to maintain traction and con-
trol of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reck-

less driving can lead to accidents. It is the
driver's responsibility to drive carefully.
This means taking into account the traffic,
road and environmental conditions.
Electronically Controlled 4WD
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys-
tem that improves acceleration performance
and stability performance by controlling
front-rear distribution of driving torque with
operating the electronic control coupling
arranged in the rear differential assembly.
NOTE
 If the parking brake lever is pulled up while
the vehicle is moving, the front-rear distribu-
tion of driving torque control will turn OFF
which will allow the rear wheels to lock eas-
ier.
5-82 Features and controls
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ-
ential limiting function and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the
driving/braking force by managing the AFD*
(Active Front Differential), the brake, the
EPS.
*: AFD (Active Front Differential)
The Differential assembly that limits the front
left-right differential speed by operating elec-
tronic control clutch arranged in the transfer
assembly.
Left-right differential limiting
function
The left-right differential limiting function is
a function that enhances driving performance
and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin-
ning of a wheel when driving on slippery
road or when the road surfaces of left and
right wheels are different.
Yaw control function
The yaw control function is a function that
enhances vehicle cornering performance and
vehicle stability with management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling
I n f o r ma t i o n P r o v i d e d b y :
the drive power difference of the left and
right wheels and the braking force when the
vehicle does not turn in response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel is
turned quickly or when driving on slippery
left-right
road.
CAUTION
 Control of the braking force does not
enhance the stopping performance of the
vehicle, therefore, pay careful attention to
the safety of your surroundings when driv-
ing.
S-AWC drive mode
Select the drive mode from the following four
types to suit the driving conditions.
S-AWC
drive
mode
This is the most fuel efficient
mode. Normal operation is in
AWC ECO 2WD, but 4WD performance
will be provided under slippery
conditions.
