Drive systems
All-wheel drive
If your vehicle has active on
demand all-wheel drive (AWD), the
AWD system operates
automatically without any action
required by the driver. If the front
drive wheels begin to slip, the rear
wheels will automatically begin to
drive the vehicle as required. There
may be a slight engagement noise
during hard use but this is normal.
The AWD warning light C blinks when
AWD system is temporarily disabled.
If the light blinks briefly, and then
goes out, this is normal and does not
indicate a system fault. However if
the light blinks continuously, you
should consult a repairer to repair
the problem as soon as possible.
The light comes on to indicate that
there is a malfunction in the AWD
system. If it happens, your vehicle
should be serviced by a repairer.
Caution
It is inadvisable to drive with hand
resting on the selector lever.
