Pic. 1.189. Examples of turning on and off the all-wheel drive lock
The 4WD all-wheel drive system allows you to automatically distribute the flow of power transmitted to the wheels in accordance with road conditions. In off-road or slippery conditions, press the lock switch (4WD) to include permanent all-wheel drive, which allows you to distribute power in a ratio of 50:50 between the front and rear wheels. At the same time, the four-wheel drive lock indicator lamp will light up (4WD) on the instrument panel.
This operating mode is canceled as soon as the vehicle speed exceeds 30 km/h and this function is completely disabled at speeds above 40 km/h. Conversely, the function is restored as soon as the driving speed falls below 40 km/h and is fully resumed at speeds below 30 km/h.
To turn off the 4WD lock mode, press the 4WD lock switch again.
Interlock indicator lamp (4WD) on the instrument panel will go out.
