AWD SYSTEM : Protection Function

AWD system activates its protection function (shuts down AWD system temporarily) if AWD system detects high load continuously, the front wheel tire size differs from the rear tire size or the rear right wheel tire size differs from the rear left tire size. (AWD system is automatically restored if AWD system no longer detects any overload or the tire size difference is eliminated.)






NOTE:
- If the warning lamp blinks slowly during driving but remains OFF after the engine is restarted, the system is normal. If it again blinks slowly after driving for some time, vehicle must be inspected.
- When there is a difference of revolution speed between the front and rear wheel the shift occasionally changes to direct 4-wheel driving conditions automatically. This is not a malfunction.
