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 automatically.

Use this mode when driving on normal roads.
If you select the "Driving force distribution" in the cluster, Driving force distribution
(AWD) state is displayed.
In this mode, the vehicle can start stably by properly distributing the driving force of
the vehicle on slippery roads such as snowy roads. And you can drive safely by
suppressing wheel slip.

The main goal of AWD Lock mode is toallow a driver to maximize the vehicle's
traction under extreme driving conditions such as unpaved off-road, sandy roads,
and muddy roads.

AWD Lock mode is in operation only when a vehicle travels at 25 mph (40 km/h)

Auto. When travelling at 20 mph (30 km/h) or less, the mode will switch back to
AWD Lock.
