AWD AUTO
(AWD LOCK is
deactivated)
• AWD Auto is used when driving on roads in normal conditions, roads in
urban areas, and on highways.
• All wheels are in operation when a vehicle travels at a constant speed.
Required tractions applying on front and rear wheels vary depending on
road driving conditions and driving conditions, which will be automatically
controlled by the computing system.
• When the cluster's AWD Auto display mode is selected, the cluster displays
the status of how four wheels’ traction forces are distributed.
AWD LOCK
• The main goal of AWD Lock mode is to allow a driver to maximize the vehi-
cle’s traction under extreme driving conditions such as unpaved off-road,
sandy roads, and muddy roads.
• AWD Lock mode is in operation only when a vehicle travels at 40km/h or
less.When travelling at 40km/h or faster, the mode will switch to AWD Auto.
When travelling at 30 km/h or less, the mode will switch back to AWD Lock.
• When AWD Lock mode illuminates, the cluster does not display the
front/rear wheel traction force distribution status.
• Press the AWD Lock mode switch again to switch back to AWD Auto.

NOTICE - Normal road conditions
• Maintain AWD Auto mode when driving on roads in normal conditions.
• When driving under normal road conditions (especially when cornering) in AWD Lock mode, a driver may find
minor mechanical vibration or noise, which is extremely normal phenomenon, not a malfunction. When AWD
Lock mode is released, such noise or vibration will be immediately gone.
