FOUR WHEEL DRIVE (4WD) SYSTEM (IF EQUIPPED)

For important information regarding safe operation of this type

of vehicle, see Preparing to drive your vehicle in this chapter.

Your vehicle is equipped with an intelligent 4WD System that

continuously monitors vehicle conditions and automatically adjusts the

power distribution between the front and rear wheels. It combines

transparent all-surface operation with highly capable four-wheel drive.

The 4WD system is always active and requires no driver input. It is

capable of handling all road conditions, including street and highway

driving as well as off-road and winter driving.

During very extreme off-road events, the 4WD system has a heat

protection mode to protect itself from damage. If the system detects an

overheat condition, it will enter a locked mode. If the heat in the 4WD

system continues to rise in locked mode, it will disable itself. To exit heat

protection mode, simply stop the vehicle and allow it to cool.

4WD system indicator lights

• Illuminates continuously when

4WD system is locked (i.e.

permanent four wheel drive) due

to heat protection mode.

• Blinks continuously when 4WD system is disengaged (i.e. two wheel

drive) due to heat protection mode.
