Drive Systems

All-Wheel Drive

If the vehicle has this feature,
engine power is sent to all four
wheels when extra traction is
needed. This is like four-wheel
drive, but there is no separate lever
or switch to engage or disengage
the front axle. It is fully automatic,
and adjusts itself as needed for road
conditions.

If the vehicle is a hybrid, see

“

Four-Wheel Drive

”

in the hybrid

supplement.
