FUEL Fuel economy (city/highway) Manual: 23/28 mpg Automatic: 22/28 mpg Manual: 19/25 mpg Automatic: 19/24 mpg Manual: N/A Automatic: 19/26 mpg Fuel requirement Unleaded gasoline (87 octane) Premium unleaded gasoline (91 octane) recommended Premium unleaded gasoline (91 octane) recommended SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE Continuous All-Wheel Drive Models equipped with 5-speed manual transmission, utilize a viscous-type locking center differential and limited-slip rear differential with torque distribution normally configured at a 50/50-split front-to-rear. If wheel speed differs between front and rear axles, the system helps distribute power to the wheels with the most traction. Active All-Wheel Drive Models equipped with 4-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch and limited-slip rear differential to distribute power to where traction is needed. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction. Variable Torque Distribution (VTD) All-Wheel Drive Models equipped with 5-speed automatic transmission utilize an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetary-type center differential, and a viscous-type limited-slip rear differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rear-wheel-biased 45/55 split front-to-rear. Sensors monitor parameters such as wheel slippage, throttle position and braking to help determine torque distribution and direct it to the wheels with optimum traction. STABILITY AND TRACTION Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) Integrated with VTD All-Wheel Drive, the 3.0R VDC Limited Wagon standard VDC stability control utilizes sensors which constantly monitor wheel speed, steering angle, brake pressure, vehicle yaw rate and lateral g-forces. If VDC detects a difference between the drivers intended path and the one the vehicle is actually taking, VDC applies braking power and/or reduces engine torque to help correct vehicle path. Traction Control System (TCS) VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which senses a loss of traction and applies braking force to the slipping wheel or wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion CHASSIS Steering Engine-speed-sensing power-assisted rack-and-pinion.
