A
When you select AWD Lock mode by pressing the AWD LOCK button A, the AWD LOCK mode increases the drive
power when driving on wet pavement, snow covered roads and/or off-road .
•This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, off-road driving, driving on sandy and muddy
roads, etc ., to maximize traction .
•This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 19 mph and is shifted to AWD AUTO mode at
speed above 25 mph . If the vehicle decelerates to speeds below approximate 25 mph, however, the transfer
mode is shifted into AWD LOCK mode again .
When the AWD LOCK mode is deactivated, a shock may be felt as the drive power is delivered entirely to the front
wheels . This shock is not a mechanical failure .
