Intelligent all-wheel drive (if equipped) can send engine power to all four wheels. It automatically shares power between the front and rear wheels, improving traction when wheels slip and making acceleration more stable – useful on snow, sand, mud and off-road. It works automatically in every driving mode, switching between 2WD and 4WD as needed.
AWD system malfunction indicator
- Yellow AWD indicator stays on: temporary fault (or overheating). The car drives in 2WD to keep you moving.
- Red AWD indicator stays on: permanent fault. The cluster also shows "4WD system is malfunctioning, please contact service centre".
- With an AWD fault, the stability control (ESP) warning sounds and only ABS remains active.
Overheat protection
Caution:Don't drive in sand or mud for long periods, or let the tyres spin for a long time. This can trigger AWD overheat protection: the yellow AWD indicator stays on and the system drops to 2WD to protect the drivetrain. When safe, stop and let it cool for a few minutes. Wait a few more minutes after the warning clears so the system cools fully and performance is restored. If the warning won't clear, contact an authorised Jaecoo service centre.
