Four Wheel Drive (4WD) Transfer Mode Selection
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2021 Hyundai Kona. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- AUTO MODE:
- When driving in 4WD AUTO mode, the vehicle operates similar to conventional 2WD vehicles under normal operating conditions. However, if the system determines that there is a need for the 4WD mode, the engine's driving power is distributed to all four wheels automatically without driver intervention.
- When driving on normal roads and pavement, the vehicle moves similar to conventional 2WD vehicles.
- LOCK MODE:
- This mode is used for climbing or descending sharp grades, off-road driving, driving on sandy and muddy roads, etc., to maximize traction.
- This mode automatically begins to deactivate at speeds above 30km/h (19mph) and is shifted to 4WD AUTO mode at speed above 40km/h (25mph). If the vehicle speed decelerates to below 30km/h (19mph), however, the transfer mode is shifted into 4WD LOCK mode again.
