AWD operation could be activated by outside tempera-

ture, wheel slip, or other predetermined conditions (there

may be a slight delay for AWD engagement after a wheel

slip condition occurs). AWD can also be manually se-

lected by activating AutoStick mode (+/-), engaging

Sport Mode or activating the windshield wipers for an

extended period of time. Drive mode, RWD or AWD, can

be found in the Driver Information Display (DID). Refer

to “Driver Information Display (DID)” in “Understand-

ing Your Instrument Panel” for further information.
NOTE:

If the “SERVICE AWD SYSTEM” warning mes-

sage appears after engine start up, or during driving, it

means that the AWD system is not functioning properly

and that service is required. Refer to “Driver Information

Display (DID)” in “Understanding Your Instrument

Panel” for further information.

CAUTION!

All wheels must have the same size and type tires.
Unequal tire sizes must not be used. Unequal tire
size may cause failure of the front differential and/or
the transfer case.

DRIVING ON SLIPPERY SURFACES

Acceleration

Rapid acceleration on snow covered, wet, or other slip-

pery surfaces may cause the driving wheels to pull

erratically to the right or left. This phenomenon occurs

when there is a difference in the surface traction under

the rear (driving) wheels.
