Description
In the AWD AUTO mode, under normal operating conditions,
the vehicle operates similar to conventional 2WD vehicles. If the
system determines there is a need for four wheel drive, the
engine's driving power is distributed to all four wheels automat-
ically.
Use this mode when driving on normal roads.
In the AWD LOCK mode, the system is deactivated when vehi-
cle speed is over 20 mph (30 km/h) and the mode is shifted to
AWD AUTO mode. If the vehicle speed is reduced back down
to 20 mph (30 km/h) the system shifts back into AWD LOCK
mode.
Use this mode when driving up or down sharp inclines, driving
off-road, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc. to maximize
traction
