AUTO: This four-wheel drive operation is a

continuous operation, is fully automatic and
can be used on and off-road. This mode
balances traction to ensure maneuverability
and acceleration improvement compared to
a vehicle with two wheel drive. This mode
also reduces fuel consumption, since it
allows the disconnect of the drive shaft
where conditions permit.
SNOW: This mode allows you to have greater

stability under conditions of bad weather. For
use on and off-road on surfaces with poor
traction, such as roads covered with snow.
When in SNOW mode (depending on certain
operating conditions), the transmission may
use SECOND gear (rather than FIRST gear)
during launches, to minimize wheel slippage.
SAND: For off-road driving or use on surfaces

with poor traction, such as dry sand. The
transmission is set to provide maximum trac-
tion.
MUD: For off-road driving or use on surfaces

with poor traction, such as roads covered by
mud or wet grass.
