GOOD BRAKING PRACTICES

C130A02A-AAT

WARNING:

o Whenever leaving vehicle or parking,

always set the parking brake as far as
possible and fully engage the vehicle's
transaxle into the park position. Ve-
hicles not fully engaged in park with
the parking brake set are at risk for
moving inadvertently and injuring
yourself or others.

o All vehicles should always have the

parking brake fully engaged when
parking to avoid inadvertent move-
ment of the car which can injure occu-
pants or pedestrians.

o Nothing should be carried on top of

the shelf panel behind the rear seat. If
there were an accident or a sudden
stop, such objects could move for-
ward and cause damage to the ve-
hicle or injure the occupants.

This AWD system is designed for dividing
the power ratio automatically in normal
driving conditions.
During off-road or low-friction driving con-
ditions, press the AWD lock button to drive
in full-time AWD, dividing the power ratio
to 50:50 in the front and rear wheels. The
AWD lock indicator light in the instrument
cluster is illuminated.
This setup begins to get cancelled when
the vehicle speed exceeds 19 mph, and
the function is completely released at a
speed of 25 mph or higher. Conversely,
the function is rerun when the speed again
drops to 25 mph or lower, and is fully
established at speeds below 19 mph.
To release the AWD lock function, press
the AWD lock button again.
The AWD lock indicator light in the instru-
ment cluster should go off.

1) Pressing the AWD lock button on the

tough terrain, the driving power is
equally distributed to the front and rear.
AWD lock keeps activating when not
exceeding 25 mph.

2) Release the AWD lock button on the

normal driving conditions.
