Mastering control, wherever the road takes you
Whether you’re cruising in the city or storm chasing off-road, it’s important to be in total control behind the wheel, whatever path you choose.
Nothing beats a clear blue sky on a summer day. It’s the perfect backdrop for an outdoor adventure spent with your friends and family, cruising down a country road, singing your favourite tunes with the windows down.
But even during the summer months, you could find yourself driving headfirst into some stormy weather. It’s happened to Storm Chaser Mark Robinson hundreds of times, and almost always on purpose. Robinson is no stranger to documenting active weather across the country.
Whether he’s chasing thunderstorms in rural communities or visiting big cities to report on beating the heat, Robinson needs total control behind the wheel in all weather conditions—and you can have it, too.
The real definition of control
Listen, you don’t need to be a professional storm chaser to get a smoother, more enjoyable ride. And with advanced technology, it just got easier.
The system that gives drivers the edge is called Super All-Wheel Control (S-AWC). It’s a unique and innovative technology that offers drivers and passengers a smooth and more stable ride, even when the weather is calm outside.
S-AWC gives drivers an advantage on the roads, because the vehicle’s technology responds to their driving in real time. Special sensors gather information as it comes, while also sending instructions to each wheel to help you maintain control front to back and left to right.
Just like how our eyes and ears help us understand the world around us, these sensors constantly monitor the road, the traffic and any sightings happening nearby, big or small. It’s all about keeping you on the straight and narrow path, even if the road ahead is anything but.
Strong winds? No worries
MétéoMédia Content Creator Émilie Boislard is no stranger to a beautiful day spent outdoors walking along the St. Lawrence River. Picture this: It's a hot and breezy day, so Boislard decides to cruise to the river for a stroll. The only thing between her and the water is a short drive over the Quebec bridge.
So what’s the challenge?
Well, already strong and gusty winds tend to get even more powerful the higher you go. When driving on a bridge, for example, the air around you flows faster because there are fewer obstacles like trees or buildings to stand in the wind's way. Less friction = faster winds.
Driving on a skyline bridge, you can feel the powerful gusts pushing against your vehicle, which can sway you left to right.
With S-AWC technology, you will barely feel a thing. The advanced technology is designed to stabilize your vehicle for you in real time, giving you total control.
S-AWC’s unique technology will help steer you straight when driving against strong winds, meaning the only time you should feel a breeze behind the wheel is when you open the window. The smooth handling also helps passengers who typically suffer from motion sickness feel more at ease when buckled up, making it an enjoyable journey for everyone. Win, win.

Turns of all shapes and sizes
When cruising in the big city, you’re more than likely to come across a turn or two—or even 30. Those sharp, narrow turns can be tricky, especially when you’re unfamiliar with the route.
If you take a turn too quickly or misjudge the placement of your tires, you could easily hit a curb and cause rumbling for passengers.
S-AWC technology has adjustments which can actually slow the vehicle down for you, helping the car lean into the turn gracefully, giving you a smoother ride no matter which way you turn—and no spilled drinks on your friends, either.
If you’re navigating down narrow streets or driving on open roads, tight turns can be a thing of the past.

Enjoy the destination and get the most out of the journey
While we often associate the need for control with challenging weather conditions, it’s just as important on dry pavement in the summer season.
Whether you’re cruising in the city, driving against strong winds or find yourself stuck in a rough patch off-road, feel confident that Super All-Wheel Control has your back in all weather conditions.
It's the real definition of control, so you and your passengers can focus on the excitement of the journey.
