uuWhen Driving uSuper Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD ®)*
Driving
Super Handling-Al l Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD®)*
The system controls and trans fers varying amounts of engine torque to each wheel
in accordance with the driving conditions.
SH-AWD ® helps to enhance driving stability, and lets you handle situations like
slippery surfaces, such as on wet, icy, or snowy roads, better than when driving with
two wheel drive. However, the system does not help to enhance braking. Be
precautious about the following:
• It is still your responsibility to drive sa fely when you steer, accelerate, and apply
brakes.
• Leave a sufficient margin when braking on slippery surfaces.1Super Handling-All Wheel DriveTM (SH-AWD ®)*
The SH-AWD ® system may not function properly if
tire type and size are mixed.
Make sure to use the same size and type of tire, and
the air pressures as specified. 2 Tire and Wheel Replacement P. 561
Do not continuously spin the front tires of your
vehicle. Continuously spinning the front tires can
cause damage to the transmission and SH-AWD ®
unit.
If the Super Handling-All Wheel Drive
TM (SH-AWD ®)
System indicator blinks whil e driving, it indicates the
differential temperature is too high. If this happens,
pull to the side of the road when it is safe, change the
gear position to
( P, and idle the engine until the
indicator goes out.

Maintenance
U.S. models
*1: If a Maintenance Minder Indicator and message does not appear more than 12 months after the
display is reset, change the engine oil every year.
# : See information on maintenance and emissions warranty.
CODEMaintenance Main Items
A
●Replace engine oil*1
B●Replace engine oil*1 and oil filter●Inspect front and rear brakes●Check expiration date for Temporary Tire Repair Kit bottle (If
equipped)
●Inspect tie rod ends, steering gearbox, and boots●Inspect suspension components●Inspect driveshaft boots●Inspect brake hoses and lin es (Including ABS/VSA®)●Inspect all fluid levels and condition of fluids●Inspect exhaust system#
●Inspect fuel lines and connections#
●Adjust the valves during services A, B, 1, 2, or 3 if they are noisy.*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and
from diesel-powered vehicles, replace the dust and pollen filter every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*4: 2.0 L engine models
*5: 3.0 L engine models
*6: If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), in very low temperatures (under
−20°F, −29°C), replace every 60,000 miles (100,000 km).
*7: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds results in higher level of mechanical (Shear) stress to fluid. This requires differential fluid changes more frequently than recommended by the
Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, have the differential
fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*8: If a Maintenance Minder Indicator does not appear more than 36 months after the display for item 7 is
reset, change the brake fluid every 3 years.
