wheel drive vehicle, set the drive mode-sel
ector to the “4WD AUTO” or “4WD LOCK”
position and then slowly press down on the ac
celerator pedal to get your vehicle moving.
2. If there is nothing to stop your tires from sli
pping, rock your vehicle out of the stuck posi-
tion.
P. 8-15
WA R N I N G When attempting to rock your vehi
cle out of a stuck position, be su
re that no one is near the ve
hicle. The rocking motion may c
ause the vehicle to
suddenly lurch forward or backward, possibly injuring bystanders. Avoid revving the engine or spinning the wh
eels. Prolonged efforts to free a stuck ve
hicle may result in
overheating and transa
xle failure.
If the vehicle remains stuck after
several rocking attempts
, have a towing service pull the vehicle out.

S-AWC (Super-All Wheel Co
ntrol) (if so equipped)
Features and controls 5-77
5
N00576600020
While the drive mode is in the “4WD AUTO” position, if the ECO mode switch is switched ON, the drive mode will be changed to “4WDECO” mode. If the ECO mode switch is switched OFF, the drive mode will be returned to “4WD AUTO”mode. Refer to the “ECO
mode switch” on page
5-177.
N00541301059
S-AWC is an integr
ated 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 perform
ance 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.
CAUTION Make sure that all four tires are the same specified size, type, a
nd brand, and have no
significant difference
in the amount of wear.
Otherwise, the elec
tronically controlled
4WD system may not work properly, and the 4WD system warning (overheating or ser-vice required) may displayed.
When the ECO mode switch is ON
NOTE
 If the drive mode is switched in any mode after the drive mode is switched in “4WD ECO”, the drive mode will not be changed even if the ECO mode switch is switchedOFF.
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.
