S-AWC is an integrated vehicle dynamics control system that helps enhance drivingperformance, cornering performance, and vehicle stability over a wide range of driving conditions through integr
ated management of
the electronically cont
rolled 4WD, the AYC
(Active Yaw Control), the ABS and the ASC. The electronically controlled 4WD is a sys- tem that improves acceleration performance and stability performance by controlling front-rear distribution of
driving torque with
operating the electronic control coupling arranged in the rear differential assembly. The AYC is a system, with a left-right differ- ential limiting function
and yaw control func-
tion, that controls the left-right driving/braking force by managing the AFD*(Active Front Differential), the brake, the EPS. *: AFD (Active Front Differential)The Differential assembly that limits the front left-right differential
speed by operating elec-
tronic control clutch arranged in the transferassembly.
The left-right differen
tial limiting function is
a function that enhances driving performance and vehicle stability by preventing idle spin- ning of a wheel when driving on slipperyroad or when the road surfaces of left and right wheels are different. The yaw control function is a function that enhances vehicle corn
ering performance and
vehicle stability with
management of vehicle
turning power (yaw moment) by controlling the drive power difference of the left andright wheels and the braking force when the vehicle does not turn in
response to steering
input, such as when the steering wheel isturned quickly or when driving on slippery road.

Select the control mode from the followingfour types to suit the driving conditions.
S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Control)
(if so equipped)
CAUTION Do not over-rely on the S-AWC. Even the S- AWC cannot prevent the natural laws of physics from acting on the vehicle. This sys-tem, like any other sy
stem, has limits and
cannot help you to main
tain traction and con-
trol of the vehicle in
all circumstances. Reck-
less driving can lead to
accidents. It is the
driver’s responsibility to drive carefully. This means taking into account the traffic,road and environmental conditions.
Electronically Controlled 4WD
NOTE
If the parking brake lever is pulled up while the vehicle is moving, the front-rear distribu- tion of driving torque control will turn OFF which will allow the rear wheels to lock eas-ier.
Active Yaw Control (AYC)
CAUTION Control of the braking force does not enhance the stopping performance of thevehicle, therefore, pa
y careful attention to
the safety of your surroundings when driv- ing.
