AWD LOCK SWITCH OPERATIONSThe AWD system is used to select OFF/AUTO, ON/LOCK depending on the driving conditions.
The AWD system electronically controls the coupling.
Push the AWD LOCK switch to move between each mode OFF/AUTO and ON/LOCK, depending
on driving conditions.AWD LOCK
switchWheel drivenAWD LOCK
indicator
lightUse conditions
OFF/AUTODistribution of torque to the front and
rear wheels changes automatically,
depending on road conditions en-
countered [100:0]↔[50:50].
This results in improved driving stabil-
ity.Goes off. For driving on paved or slippery roads
ON/LOCK *1 ALL wheel drive AWD LOCK For driving on rough roads
*1 LOCK mode will change to AUTO mode automatically, when the vehicle is accelerated or the vehicle speed is
over approximately 19 MPH (30 km/h). The AWD LOCK indicator light does not go off.
If the AWD LOCK switch is operated while accelerating or decelerating, or if the key switch is
turned off while in the OFF/AUTO or ON/LOCK position, you may feel a jerk. This is normal.

The oil temperature of power train parts will increase if the vehicle is continuously operated under
conditions where the difference in rotation between the front and rear wheels is large (wheel slip)
such as when driving the vehicle on rough roads through sand, mud or freeing a stuck vehicle. In
these cases, the AWD warning light blinks rapidly and the AWD mode changes to 2WD to protect
the power train parts. If you stop driving with the engine idling and wait until the warning light stops
blinking, the AWD returns to the OFF/AUTO mode.
WARNING

Do not place an AWD equipped ve-
hicle on a two wheel dynamometer or
raise two wheels off the ground and
shift the transmission to any D (drive)
or R (reverse) position. Doing so may
result in transmission damage or un-
expected vehicle movement which
could result in serious vehicle dam-
age or personal injury.

When driving straight, shift the AWD
lock switch to OFF/AUTO or
ON/LOCK. Do not operate the AWD
lock switch when making a turn or
backing up.

Do not operate the AWD lock switch
(OFF/AUTO and ON/LOCK) with the
front wheel spinning.

Engine idling speed is high while
warming up the engine. Be especially
careful when starting or driving on
slippery surfaces with the AWD lock
switch set in OFF/AUTO.
