USING ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
All-wheel drive uses all four wheels to power
the vehicle. This increases traction, enabling
you to drive over terrain and road conditions
that a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle
cannot. The AWD system is active all the time
and requires no input from the operator.
Note: Your AWD vehicle is not intended for
off-road use. The AWD feature gives your
vehicle some limited off-road capabilities in
which driving surfaces are relatively level,
obstruction-free and otherwise similar to
normal on-road driving conditions. Operating
your vehicle under other than those conditions
could subject the vehicle to excessive stress
which might result in damage which is not
covered under your warranty.
Note: When an AWD system fault is present,
the warning Check AWD displays in the
information display. The AWD system is not
functioning correctly and defaults to
front-wheel drive. When this warning displays,
have your vehicle serviced at an authorized
dealer.
Note: The AWD OFF message may also
appear in the information display if the AWD
system overheats and defaults to front-wheel
drive. This may occur if the vehicle is operated
in extreme conditions with excessive wheel
slip, such as deep sand. To resume normal
AWD function as soon as possible, stop the
vehicle in a safe location and stop the engine
for at least 10 minutes. After the engine has
been restarted and the AWD system has
adequately cooled, the AWD OFF message
will turn off and normal AWD function returns.
If the engine is not stopped, the AWD OFF
message turns off when the system cools and
normal AWD function returns.
