Driving
Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4TM) AWD System*
The intelligent variable torque management (i-VTM4TM) AWD system is a full time all
wheel drive system that automatically c ontrols 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.
Avoid continuously driving on slippery surfa ces where a wheel is likely to spin out,
and do not drive if the AWD indicator starts blinking. Driving continuously under
such conditions can damage the system's torque distribution unit.
If the AWD indicator blinks while driving, it indicates the differential temperature is
too high. If this happens, pull to the side of the road when it is safe, shift to park, an
idle the engine idle until the indicator go es out. If the indicator does not go out, take
your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked.1Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4TM) AWD 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 intelligent variable torque management
(i-VTM4
TM) AWD 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. 664

*1: If the message 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 721.
*2: If you drive in dusty conditions, replace 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), 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).
*6: If a Maintenance Minder message does not appear more than 36 months after the display for item 7 is
reset, change the brake fluid every 3 years.
