HOW DOES ALL-WHEEL DRIVE WORK
The all-wheel-drive system is designed to continuously monitor and adjust power delivery to the front and rear wheels to optimize both traction and handling.
There is further information on driving in unique driving conditions. See Driving Hints.
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE PRECAUTIONS
WARNING: Do not become overconfident in the ability of all-wheel drive vehicles. Although an all-wheel drive vehicle may accelerate better than a two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction situations, it won’t stop any faster than two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive at a safe speed. |
ALL-WHEEL DRIVE LIMITATIONS
The all-wheel-drive system is not intended for use with mismatched tires.
Different tire sizes between the front and rear axles can cause system damage.
