4WD
system makes tackling sudden changes
in road condition as easy as the flip
of a switch from 2WD to 4WD for "shifting
on the fly" simplicity.
[How
TOD Works]
2H
Mode
Normal & highway driving conditions
4H
Mode
-Unpaved or snowy, icy road conditions
- Press the 4H button on the fly,
without stopping
4L
Mode
- Treacherous road conditions requiring
maximum torque & traction
- Automatic Transmission: After stopping
the vehicle, shift into Neutral and
press the 4L button
- Manual Transmission: After stopping
the vehicle, shift into Neutral and
press the 4L button while applying the
clutch
TOD (Torque on Demand): The Smart 4WD System
In
normal driving situations, the 4WD Torque
on Demand (TOD) system provides most power
to the rear wheels (2WD). When road surface
conditions worsen and wheel slippage occurs,
the controller area network (CAN) interface
transfers optimum torque electronically
to the front wheels to maintain ideal driving
force.
4H
4L Operation
- Vehicle must be stopped
- While applying brakes, shift into Neutral
and press 4L button
- 4L indicator on instrument panel will
light up
