Driving
i-VTM4 (Intelligent Variable Torque Management)-4 ® 
System*
The Intelligent Variable Torque Management  System (i-VTM4) is a full time all wheel 
drive system that automatically controls  and transfers varying amount of engine 
torque to all wheels independently  according to the driving conditions.
You still need to exercise the same care when accelerating, steering, and braking 
that you would in a two wheel drive vehicle.
If the AWD light blinks while driving, it indicates the differential  temperature is too 
high. If this happens, pull to the side of the ro ad when it is safe, shift to park, an idle 
the engine idle until the indi cator goes out. If the indicator does not go out, take 
your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked.1 i-VTM4 (Intelligent Variable Torque Management)-4 ® System*
NOTICE
Do not continuously spin the front tires of your 
vehicle. Continuously spinning the front tires can 
cause transmission or re ar differential damage.
The i-VTM4 system may not  function properly if tire 
type and size are mixed. Make sure to use the same 
size and type of tire,  and the air pressures as 
specified. 2 Tire and Wheel Replacement  P. 537

Maintenance Due Now does not appear more than 12 months after the display 
is reset, change the engine oil every year.
# : See information on maintenance and emissions warranty in the first column on page 593.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace the air cleaner element every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
*3: If you drive primarily in urban areas that have high concentrations of soot in the air from industry and  from diesel-powered vehicles, replace every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).

*4: If you drive regularly in very high temperatures (over 110°F, 43°C), in very low temperatures (under 
-20°F, -29°C), or towing a trailer, replace every 60,000 miles (U.S.) / 100,000 km (Canada).
*5: Driving in mountainous areas at very low vehicle speeds or trailer towing results in higher level of  mechanical (Shear) stress to fluid. This requires differential fluid changes more frequently than 
recommended by the Maintenance Minder. If you regularly drive your vehicle under these conditions, 
have the differential fluid changed at 7,500 miles (12,000 km), then every 15,000 miles (24,000 km).
