Intelligent Variable Torque Management (i-VTM4TM) AWD System*
The intelligent variable torque management (i-VTM4TM) AWD system is a full time all wheel drive system that automatically controls and transfers varying amount of engine torque to all wheels independently according to the driving conditions.
You still need to exercise the same care when accelerating, steering, and braking that you would in a two-wheel drive vehicle.
Avoid continuously driving on slippery surfaces where a wheel is likely to spin out, and do not drive if the AWD temperature too hot. Do not drive. Idle engine to allow system to cool. message appears. Driving continuously under such conditions can damage the system’s torque distribution unit.
If AWD temperature too hot. Do not drive. Idle engine to allow system to cool. message appears on the driver information interface while driving, it indicates the differential temperature is too high. If this happens, pull to the side of the road when it is safe, change the shift position to P, and idle the engine until the message disappears. If the message does not disappear, take your vehicle to a dealer to have it checked.
