* When the AWD system is engaged, power is sent to all four wheels, providing improved traction in slippery conditions.
4WD (Four-Wheel Drive)
* The vehicle's owner's manual will specify if it is 4WD.
* Look for a badge on the vehicle that says "4WD" or "4x4."
* 4WD vehicles typically have a transfer case that allows the driver to select between 2WD, 4WD High, and 4WD Low.
* When the 4WD system is engaged, power is sent to all four wheels, providing maximum traction in off-road conditions.
