Heat Protection Power Transfer Unit

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

During off-road operation or heavy trailer towing the AWD  system may implement a heat protection mode to protect the power transfer unit from damage. The AWD  system will reduce commanded torque to half as the temperature approaches its limit. Once the temperature limit is reached, then 2WD  only is commanded.

For concerns with the AWD  system or ATC (Active Torque Coupling),

Refer to: FOUR-WHEEL DRIVE SYSTEMS .
