212 Driving and operating
Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
If your vehicle has active on demand
all-wheel drive (AWD), the AWD
system operates automatically
without any action required by the
driver. If the front drive wheels begin
to slip, the rear wheels will
automatically begin to drive the
vehicle as required. There may be a
slight engagement noise during hard
use but this is normal.
Note
When TCS/ESC is activated on icy
or slippery road, the AWD may
deactivate. The message code 256
comes on when the AWD system
is temperately disabled.
If the vehicle message code 73
(Service All Wheel Drive System)
appear in the Driver Information
Center (DIC), there is a malfunction
in the AWD system.
Consult a repairer to repair the
problem as soon as possible.
Brakes
Brakes
The brake system comprises two
independent brake circuits.
If a brake circuit fails, the vehicle can
still be braked using the other brake
circuit. However, braking effect is
achieved only when the brake pedal
is depressed firmly. Considerably
more force is needed for this. The
braking distance is extended. Seek
the assistance of a repairer before
continuing your journey.
