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.

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 AWD system is a supplemental system only. It is the driver’s responsibility to drive carefully depending on road and traffic conditions. Refer to section 5 in the Owner’s Manual for more information.
