All-Mode 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive)
(if so equipped)
The All-Mode 4WD system allows you to select four different drive
modes based on driving and weather conditions:
■ AUTO – For driving on paved or slippery roads.
With the switch set in the AUTO position, distribution of
traction to the front and rear wheels changes depending on
road conditions.
■ 2WD – For driving on dry, paved roads.
■ 4H – For driving on rocky, sandy, or snow-covered roads.
■ 4LO – For use when maximum power and traction is required
(for example, on steep grades or rocky, sandy, muddy roads).
