Main Menu
Super Handling-All Wheel Drive (SH-AWD) System
Each torque indicator is displayed as
a bar graph divided into 5 segments.
The number of segments represents
the amount of torque distributed to
each wheel.
When there is only a slight change in
torque distribution while driving,
such as cruising on level roads at the
same speed, the torque distribution
monitor may stop displaying the
amount of torque. This is not a
system problem. The monitor will
show the amount if the system
senses any change in torque
distribution.

If the SH-AWD indicator blinks while
driving, it indicates the differential
temperature is too high. You will also
see an ''SH-AWD DIFF TEMP
HIGH'' message on the multi-
information display. If this happens,
pull to the side of the road when it is
safe, shift to Park, and let the engine
idle until the indicator goes out. If
the indicator does not go out, take
your vehicle to a dealer to have it
checked.

If the SH-AWD indicator on the
instrument panel stays on, and the
''CHECK SH-AWD SYSTEM''
message also appears on the multi-
information display, there is problem
with the SH-AWD system.
Your vehicle still has normal front-
wheel drive with vehicle stability
assist (VSA), but does not have the
advantages of SH-AWD. Have your
vehicle checked by a dealer as soon
as possible.
