Heat Protection RDU

WARNING: This page is about a different variant/trim than selected.

During off-road operation, the AWD system may implement a heat protection mode to protect the AWD clutch from damage. If the AWD system detects an overheat condition, it enters a locked mode. If the heat in the RDU continues to rise once in the locked mode, the AWD relay module disables the ATC solenoid. This condition may be indicated by an AWD OFF message in the message center. Allow the AWD system to cool down at least 10 minutes with the ignition switch in the ON position.
