AWD HIGH TEMP IS DISPLAYED ON INFORMATION DISPLAY

Description

While driving, AWD warning (AWD High Temp. Stop vehicle) is displayed on information display (combination meter).

•  This symptom protects drivetrain parts when a heavy load is applied to the electric controlled coupling and multiple disc clutch temperature increases. Also, optional distribution of torque sometimes becomes rigid before AWD warning (AWD High Temp. Stop vehicle) is displayed. Both cases are not malfunction. Refer to DLN-22, "Protection Function".
