The All Wheel Drive (AWD) system enhances the vehicle's traction and stability on uneven and slippery roads, and in adverse conditions.
The AWD system automatically varies the status between AWD and Rear Wheel Drive (RWD) to suit the current driving style and prevailing conditions. The status can viewed via the 4x4i feature. See 4X4i OVERVIEW.
The instrument panel displays a message if a fault is detected with the AWD system. Reduced vehicle performance may also be experienced. In this event, the vehicle can still be driven, but with extra care. If the fault persists, contact a retailer/authorised repairer at the earliest opportunity.
