How does all-wheel drive actually function in modern vehicles?
In short: This video explores the mechanics of All Wheel Drive, explaining how it differs from 4WD and how automatic systems detect slipping to engage power to all four wheels.
The video examines the operational logic of automatic AWD systems. Unlike constant systems, these vehicles typically rely on two wheels for propulsion until the system detects slipping, at which point it automatically distributes power to the remaining wheels to maintain traction.
