AWD/ TERRAIN Mode helps the vehicle to maintain its best driving performance by controlling 4 wheels, engine, transmission and braking according to road conditions such as snow, mud, sand, etc.
You can switch from DRIVE MODE to TERRAIN Mode by pressing the DRIVE/TERRAIN mode button
Then select one of the following:
DRIVE MODE is used when driving on roads in normal conditions, roads in urban areas, and on highways
MUD mode: MUD mode is used to ensure safe driving by appropriately distributing the vehicle’s traction forces when driving on muddy, unpaved or rough roads
SAND mode: SAND mode is used to ensure safe driving by appropriately distributing the vehicle’s traction forces when driving on sandy, graveled or unpaved off-roads
SNOW mode: SNOW mode is used to appropriately distribute the vehicle’s traction forces and prevent wheel slippage when driving on snowy or slippery road
When the TERRAIN mode is deactivated, a vibration may be felt as the traction forces on the front and rear wheels of the vehicle are released. This vibration is not a mechanical failure.

This feature may not be available on all Kia models.
