Driving For the lubricant specification and refill capacity of the AWD transfer case refer to Maintenance and Specifications chapter. If your vehicle is equipped with AWD, a spare tire of a different diameter than the road tires should never be used. Such a tire could make the vehicle difficult to control as well as result in damage to driveline components. Utility and four-wheel drive vehicles are not designed for cornering at speeds as high as passenger cars any more than low-slung sports cars are designed to perform satisfactorily under off-road conditions. Avoid sharp turns or abrupt maneuvers in these vehicles. The following sections, Normal operation, Autolock operation and Disabling AWD, apply only to vehicles which allow the driver to change AWD modes through the message center. Normal operation (vehicles equipped with AdvanceTracா only) During normal operation: • the AWD system is in AWD AUTO mode (AWD LOCKED will illuminate in the message center for four seconds when you first start your vehicle). The AWD LOCKED indicator in the instrument cluster will also come on. • AWD AUTO mode can be overridden by pressing SETUP in the message center. When you first press SETUP, AWD will be displayed, then if you press RESET within four seconds of pressing SETUP, AWD will be displayed. AWD provides power to all four wheels constantly which allows you to operate your vehicle in severe winter or off-road conditions such as deep snow, ice or shallow sand. It is not recommended that you use AWD on dry pavement. • AWD can be cancelled by pressing RESET in the message center. (The AWD LOCKED display in the message center will then turn off and the display will return to AWD for four seconds when the shift is complete.) 287 2005 Aviator (231) Owners Guide (post-2002-fmt) USA (fus)
