All Wheel Drive (AWD,
if equipped)
Your vehicle may be equipped
with All Wheel Drive (AWD).
The AWD system is always
active and 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. Refer to
your Owner’s Guide for more
information. Note: If your
vehicle is equipped with
AWD, a spare tire of a
different size (other than the
tire provided) should never
be used. Using a different size
could cause the AWD system
to stop functioning and
default to front wheel drive.
Your vehicle is not intended
for off-road use.
