All-Wheel Drive

The electronic stability control system will
automatically enter a reduced operating
mode and enhance the available engine
torque. The electronic stability control off
warning will appear in the information
display. The anti-lock braking system and
traction control continue to operate fully.
In all-wheel drive lock mode the increased
torque applied to the front axle, in
conjunction with full engine torque will give
maximum traction to the driver. Use this
mode in certain conditions; for example in
deep sand or snow.
Press the all-wheel drive lock button again
to return to the automatic mode.
