MF1A TRANSFER / 4WD / AWD: ACTIVE TORQUE CONTROL 4WD SYSTEM: FAIL-SAFE CHART

1. FAIL-SAFE FUNCTION

(a) When there is a possibility of causing damage to the drivetrain due to a malfunction in the AWD system or rough driving, the system illuminates or blinks the master warning light and displays a warning message on the multi-information display to inform the driver, stops AWD mode, and enables the vehicle to operate in front-wheel-drive mode.





HINT
When the 4WD ECU assembly judges that the vehicle has stabilized, it resumes AWD mode. If the master warning light blinks and displays a warning message on the multi-information display, take the following actions without turning the engine off:

* Decelerate the vehicle until the light goes out.
* Stop the vehicle and wait until the light goes out.
