VEHICLE CHARACTERISTICS

4WD and AWD Systems

A vehicle equipped with AWD or 4WD (when you select the 4WD mode)

has the ability to use all four wheels to power itself. This increases

traction which may enable you to safely drive over terrain and road

conditions that a conventional two-wheel drive vehicle cannot.

Power is supplied to all four wheels

through a transfer case or power

transfer unit. 4WD vehicles allow

you to select different drive modes

as necessary. Information on shifting

procedures and maintenance can be

found in your “Owner’s Guide.” You

should become thoroughly familiar

with this information before you operate your vehicle.

On some 4WD models, the initial shift from two-wheel drive to 4WD

while the vehicle is moving can cause a momentary clunk and ratcheting

sound. These sounds are normal as the front drivetrain comes up to

speed and is not cause for concern.

Do not become overconfident in the ability of 4WD and AWD

vehicles. Although a 4WD or AWD vehicle may accelerate better

than two-wheel drive vehicle in low traction situations, it won’t stop

any faster than two-wheel drive vehicles. Always drive at a safe speed.
