Drive Systems

All-Wheel Drive

If your vehicle has active on
demand all-wheel drive (AWD), the
AWD system operates automatically
without any action required by the
driver. If the front drive wheels begin
to slip, the rear wheels will
automatically begin to drive the
vehicle as required. There may be a
slight engagement noise during hard
use but this is normal.
The AWD warning light
when AWD system is temporarily
disabled. If the light flashes briefly,
and then goes out, this is normal
and does not indicate a system
fault. However if the light flashes
continuously, you should consult a
repairer to repair the problem as
soon as possible.
The light comes on to indicate that
there is a malfunction in the AWD
system. If it happens, your vehicle
should be serviced by a repairer.
Driving and Operating
Brakes
The braking system is designed for
braking performance under a wide
range of driving conditions.
Your vehicle is equipped with front
and rear disc brakes and a dual
circuit braking system.
If one brake circuit should fail, the
vehicle can still be stopped with the
remaining circuit, however, stopping
distance will be increased and more
brake pedal pressure will be
required.
flashes
If one of the circuits fail, the brake
pedal must be pressed with
greater pedal pressure and the
braking distance is increased.
Have the brake system checked
and repaired by a repairer
immediately.
