ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) (IF EQUIPPED)
■
Type A
■
Type B
Engine power can be delivered to all
front and rear wheels for maximum
traction. AWD is useful when extra
traction is required, such as, when
driving on slippery, muddy, wet, or
snow-covered roads.
These vehicles are not designed for
challenging off-road use. Occasional
off-road use such as established
unpaved roads and trails are OK. It is
always important when traveling off-
highway that the driver carefully
reduces the speed to a level that
does not exceed the safe operating
speed for those conditions. In gener-
al, off-road conditions provide less
traction and braking effectiveness

than normal road conditions.
The driver must be especially alert to
avoid driving on slopes which tilt the
vehicle to either side.
