AWD Circuit Measures

  1. Full-time AWD MT model

    Since viscous coupling (limited slip differential) is used in the center differential, cut-off of AWD circuit cannot be carried out.

  2. Full-time AWD 5AT model

    Since VTD type is used in the center differential, cut-off of AWD circuit cannot be carried out.

  3. Full-time AWD 4AT model

    Insert a spare fuse into FWD fuse holder in the fuse box located in the left side of engine room to select the FWD. Since electronically controlled MT-P hydraulic multi-plate clutch is adapted for center differential, select FWD. When maintenance is performed with jack-up or on the free roller, check the illumination of AWD warning light in the combination meter.
