ALL WHEEL DRIVE (AWD/AWD LOCK)

AWD helps the vehicle to maintain its best driving performance by maximizing the driving force of vehicles on severe road conditions such as steep hills, unpaved, slippery, etc.

Advantages of AWD

Enhance safety when driving straight.
Improve performance when cornering.
Ensure operability in rough driving conditions such as snow, rain, sand, etc...

Switching from/to AWD LOCK (if equipped)

You can switch press AWD LOCK button.

NOTICE

When you turn off AWD Lock mode, itcan lead to little shocks but this is anormal phenomenon that lasts untilthe traction forces on the front andrear wheels of the vehicle arereleased.

All wheels are in operation when a vehicle travels at a constant speed. Required tractions applying on front and rear wheels vary depending on road driving conditions and driving conditions, which will be automatically controlled by the computing system.

The main goal of AWD Lock mode is to allow a driver to maximize the vehicle's traction under extreme driving conditions such as unpaved off-road, sandy roads, and muddy roads.

CAUTION

Normal road conditions

Maintain DRIVE mode when driving on normal roads.
Driving in AWD Lock on normal roads may damage the AWD system and cause vibration or noise.
When driving (especially when cornering) under normal road conditions in AWD Lock, a driver may experience minor mechanical vibration or noise, which not a malfunction. When AWD Lock is released, the noise or vibration will be stop.
When you turn off AWD Lock mode, it can lead to little shocks but this is a normal phenomenon that lasts until the traction forces on the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are released.
