QUICK TIPSA
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 improve traction
•This mode automatically shifts back to AWD AUTO mode at speed above 19 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
