ALL-WHEEL DRIVE (AWD) — IF EQUIPPED

This vehicle is equipped with an active on-demand

All-Wheel Drive (AWD) system which makes available

optimum traction for a wide variety of road surface and

driving conditions. The system minimizes wheel slip by

automatically redirecting torque to the front and rear

wheels as necessary.

To maximize fuel economy, your AWD vehicle automati-

cally defaults to rear-wheel drive (RWD) when road and

environmental conditions are such that wheel slip is

unlikely to occur. When specific road and environmental

conditions require increased levels of road traction, the

vehicle automatically shifts into AWD mode. Automatic

AWD operation could be activated by outside tempera-

ture, wheel slip, or other predetermined conditions (there

may be a slight delay for AWD engagement after a wheel

slip condition occurs). AWD can also be manually se-

lected by activating AutoStick® mode (+/-) or activating

the windshield wipers for an extended period of time.

Drive mode, RWD or AWD, is displayed momentarily in

the Electronic Vehicle Information Center (EVIC) in the
