Essential Information (continued)
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 driver.
Tips for Driving on Various Surfaces
Sand: When driving over sand, try to keep all four
wheels on the most solid area of the trail. Avoid
reducing the tire pressures but shift to a lower gear
and drive steadily through the terrain. Apply the
accelerator slowly and avoid spinning the wheels.
Mud and Water: If you must drive through high
water, drive slowly. Traction or brake capability may
be limited.
Be cautious of sudden changes in vehicle speed or
direction when you are driving in mud. Even AWD
vehicles can lose traction in slick mud. As when you
are driving over sand, apply the accelerator slowly
and avoid spinning your wheels. If the vehicle does
slide, steer in the direction of the slide until you
regain control of the vehicle.After driving through mud, clean off residue stuck to
rotating driveshafts and tires. Excess mud stuck on
tires and rotating driveshafts causes an imbalance
that could damage drive components.
Snow and Ice: AWD vehicles have advantages over
2WD vehicles in snow and ice but can skid like any
other vehicle. Should you start to slide while driving
on snowy or icy roads, turn the steering wheel in the
direction of the slide until you regain control. Avoid
sudden applications of power and quick changes
of direction on snow and ice. Apply the accelerator
slowly and steadily when starting from a full stop.
Note: Your AWD vehicle is not for off-road
use. The AWD feature gives your vehicle some
limited off-road capabilities. See the All-Wheel
Drive chapter in your Owner's Manual for
complete details.
Hill Start Assist
This system makes it easier to pull away when
your vehicle is on a slope without the need to use
a parking brake. When the system is active, your
vehicle remains stationary on the slope for two to
three seconds after you release the brake pedal.
Once the engine develops sufficient drive or torque,
the brakes release automatically.
Note: The driver is always responsible for controlling
the vehicle, supervising the system and intervening
if required. Refer to your Owner’s Manual for safety
information, more details and limitations.
