- "2WS" mode;
- "4WS" mode;
- trailer towing mode.
Switching between modes is done using a switch located on the instrument panel. Mode selection is possible at any speed, but the mode will only be activated upon completion of a turn (setting the steering wheel in the direction of straight-ahead movement).
Note: The priority driving mode is "4WS" mode.
"2WS" mode
The vehicle is steered in the normal mode, using the front wheels. Switch to this mode if anti-skid chains are installed.
Note: When the transfer case is set to "NEUTRAL" mode, the 4WS system automatically switches to "2WS" mode.
The mode is activated by briefly pressing the 4WS system switch until the indicator "2" lights up on the switch panel. The indicator flashes to indicate the need to centralize the steering wheel position by turning it left and right.
"4WS" mode
In this mode, all four wheels are controlled. Depending on the vehicle speed, the system operates as follows: when driving at low speeds (less than 64 km/h) when the position of the front wheels changes, the rear wheels turn in the opposite direction, improving the vehicle's maneuverability on sharp turns, when turning in a confined space or when parking; when driving a car at high speeds (over 64 km/h) the rear and front wheels turn in the same direction, which improves the vehicle's stability when changing lanes or making long turns.

The mode is activated by briefly pressing the 4WS system switch until the "4" indicator lights up on the switch panel. The indicator flashes to indicate the need to centralize the steering wheel position by turning it left or right.
Trailer towing mode
This mode provides greater vehicle stability when towing a trailer, allowing the trailer to follow the towing vehicle more closely. In this mode, the 4WS system operates in the same way as in the "4WS" mode, but the trailer towing mode is more suitable for towing a trailer or caravan.
The mode is activated by briefly pressing the 4WS system switch until the indicator with the trailer image lights up on the switch panel. The blinking indicator indicates the need to centralize the steering wheel position by turning it left and right.
