Press button A to turn DBC ON/OFF When on, the DBC indicator will illuminate
When you select AWD LOCK mode (indicator is illuminated) by pressing the AWD LOCK button B, the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive power when driving on wet pavement, snow-covered roads and/or on unpaved roads
•This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, driving on unpaved roads, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc , to improve traction
•This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 38 mph and
is shifted to AWD AUTO mode at speeds above 38 mph If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below approximately 38 mph, however, the transfer mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is delivered entirely to the front wheels This shock is not a mechanical failure
The DBC system is a supplemental system and does not replace the need for the driver to apply the brakes Pay at tention to road and traf fic conditions and be prepared to depress the brakes
Refer to section 6 in the Owner ’s Manual for more information
REMINDER: DBC defaults to OFF when ignition is cycled
•When on, DBC will turn OFF when vehicle speed is over 38 mph
