CAUTION
Always use tires of the same size, same type,
and same brand, and which have no wear dif-
ferences. Using tires that differ in size, type,
brands or the degree of wear, will increase
the differential oil temperature, resulting in
possible damage to the driving system. Fur-
ther, the drive train will be subjected to
excessive loading, possibly leading to oil
leakage, component seizure, or other serious
problems.
Towing
CAUTION
Do not tow all-wheel drive vehicles with the
front or rear wheels on the ground (Type A
or Type B) as illustrated. This could result in
damage to the drivetrain, or unstable towing.
If you tow all-wheel drive vehicles, use Type
C or Type D equipment.
Jacking up all-wheel drive vehi-
cles
WARNING
Do not start or run the engine while the
vehicle is on the jack.
The jack could slip out of position and
result in an accident.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel
Control)
S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics
control system that helps enhance driving
performance, cornering performance, and
vehicle stability over a wide range of driving
conditions through integrated management of
the ACD, the AYC, the anti-lock braking sys-
tem, and the active stability control (ASC).
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
Please read this section in conjunction with
the following sections.
ACD (Active center differential system)
P.5-71
AYC (Active yaw control system) P.5-72
Anti-lock braking system P.5-74
Active stability control (ASC) P.5-76
CAUTION
Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S-
AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of
physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-
tem, like any other system, has limits and
cannot help you to maintain traction and con-
trol of the vehicle in all circumstances. Reck-
less driving can lead to accidents. It is the
driver's responsibility to drive carefully.
This means taking into account the traffic,
road and environmental conditions.
Be sure to use tires that are the same speci-
fied size, type, and brand, and have no differ-
ence in the amount of wear for all four
wheels. Otherwise, the S-AWC may not
work properly.
