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 TERRAIN MODE button . Then select one of the following:

• DRIVE MODE can help distribute the vehicle’s traction forces
• **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 can help distribute the vehicle’s traction forces when driving on sandy, graveled or unpaved off-roads
• SNOW mode can help distribute the vehicle’s traction forces to 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.
