accelerator pedal when starting off
an incline. The HAC activates only for
approximately 2 seconds.

However, it does not activate, when
ESC does not operate normally.

Driving Your Vehicle6-38
All Wheel Drive (AWD) delivers engine
power to front and rear wheels for
maximum traction. AWD is useful when
extra traction is required, such as when
driving on, muddy, wet, or snow-covered
roads.
WARNING
To reduce the risk of SERIOUS INJURY
or DEATH:
[ Do not drive in conditions that
exceed the vehicles intended
design such as challenging off-road
conditions.
[ Avoid high speeds when cornering or
turning.
[ Do not make quick steering wheel
movements, such as sharp lane
changes or fast, sharp turns.
[ The risk of a rollover is greatly
increased if you lose control of your
vehicle at highway speeds.
[ Loss of control often occurs if two or
more wheels drop off the roadway
and the driver over steers to reenter
the roadway.
[ In the event your vehicle leaves
the roadway, do not steer sharply.
Instead, slow down before pulling
back into the t ravel lanes.
NOTICE
[ Do not drive in water if the level
is higher than the bottom of the
vehicle.
[ Check your brake condition once
you are out of mud or water. Depress
the brake pedal several times as you
move slowly until you feel normal
braking return.
[ Shorten your scheduled
maintenance interval if you drive in
off-road conditions such as sand,
mud or water (see "Maintenance
Under Severe Usage Conditions"
section in chapter 9).
[ Always wash your vehicle thoroughly
after off road use, especially the
bottom of the vehicle.
[ Be sure to equip the vehicle with four
tires of the same size and type.
[ Make sure that a full time AWD
vehicle is towed by a flat bed tow
truck.

CAUTION
When driving on normal roads,
deactivate the AWD LOCK mode by
pushing the AWD LOCK button (AWD
LOCK indicator light goes off). Driving
on normal roads with the AWD LOCK
mode, especially, when cornering
may cause mechanical noise or
vibration. The noise and vibration will
disappear when the AWD LOCK mode is
deactivated. Prolonged driving with the
noise and vibration may damage some
parts of the power train.
NOTICE
[ When the AWD LOCK mode is
deactivated, a sensation may be felt
as the driving power is delivered
entirely to the front wheels.
Auto All Wheel Drive mode
(normal driving)
If the AWD system determines there is a
need for four wheel drive, the engine's
driving power is distributed to all four
wheels automatically.
Multi AWD mode
In the multi AWD mode, all-wheel drive
(AWD), engine , transmission and TCS
(Tration control system) are controlled
to achieve optimal driving performance
depending on the mode selected (AUTO/
SNOW/LOCK).

Auto AWD (N
ormal
driving) -[
Use this mode when driving on normal roads.
[ Under normal operating conditions, the vehicle
operates similar to conventional 2WD vehicles. If the
system determines there is a need for four wheel drive,
the engine's driving power is distributed to all four
wheels automatically.
SNOW
[ Use this mode when driving on low traction roads.
[ The engine’s driving power is properly distributed
to the wheels, to help start the vehicle stably on low
traction roads or keep tires from slipping.
AWD LOCK
In the AWD LOCK mode, the system is deactivated when
vehicle speed is over 37 mph (60 km/h).
Use this mode when driving up or down steep inclines,
driving off-road, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc.
to maximize traction
Be sure to maintain Auto AWD mode when driving on normal roads. If you drive with
the AWD Lock mode on normal roads or curved roads, it may damage AWD parts and
cause vibration and noise. However, vibration and noise are normal conditions that will
disappear when Auto AWD mode is selected. Also, when the vehicle is changed from
AWD Lock to Auto AWD, a sensation may be felt as driving power is delivered to the
rear wheels.
