S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control) (if so equipped)
5-70 Features and controls
5
N00541301118
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 electronically controlled 4WD, the AYC,
the ABS and the ASC.
The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys-
tem that improves acceleration performance
and stability performance by controlling
front-rear distribution of driving torque with
operating the electronic control coupling
arranged in the rear differential assembly.
Refer to “Active Yaw Control (AYC)” on
page 5-81.

Select the drive mode from the following
three types to suit the driving conditions.
4-wheel drive operation requires special driv-
ing skills.
Carefully read the “4-wheel drive operation”
section on page 5-72 and take care to drive
safety.

Control)
(if so equipped)
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.
Electronically Controlled 4WD
NOTE
On vehicles equipped with lever type park-
ing brake, if the parking brake lever is pulled
up while the vehicle is moving, the front-rear
distribution of driving torque control will be
temporarily suspended, which will allow the
rear wheel to lock easier.

Function
AUTO
This mode can be used on both
dry and wet roads. The distri-
bution of driving/braking
torque to each wheel is auto-
matically controlled according
to the driving condition.
SNOW
This mode is for driving on
slippery road surfaces, such as
snow-covered roads.
GRAVEL
This mode is suitable mainly
for driving on unpaved or
rough roads.
This mode provides 4WD high
driving performance and stable
cornering performance.
