SYMMETRICAL AWD

Continuous All-Wheel Drive

Models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission utilize a viscous-type locking center differential with torque distribution normally
configured at a 50/50-split front-to-rear. If wheel speed differs between front and rear axles, the system helps distribute power to the
wheels with the most traction.

Active All-Wheel Drive

Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch to distribute power to
where traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking, to help determine torque
distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction.

STABILITY AND TRACTION

Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)

Standard VDC electronic stability control utilizes sensors which constantly monitor wheel speeds, steering angle, brake pressure, vehicle
yaw rate and lateral g-forces. If VDC detects a difference between the driver’s intended path and the one the vehicle is actually taking,
VDC applies braking power and/or reduces engine torque to help correct vehicle path.

Traction Control System (TCS)

VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which senses a loss of traction and applies braking force to the
slipping wheel or wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion.

CHASSIS

Steering

Engine-speed-sensing variable power-assisted rack-and-pinion. Turning circle: 34.4

feet.

Suspension

4-wheel independent suspension. Front: Strut-type with lower L-arm. Stabilizer bar. Rear: Double wishbone. Stabilizer bar.

Brakes

4-wheel disc, ventilated front. 4-channel, 4-sensor ABS with Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD).

Brake Assist

When emergency braking is detected by how quickly the brake pedal is pressed, maximum brake pressure is immediately applied.
