Drive Systems
All-Wheel Drive
Vehicles with this feature always send engine power to all four wheels. It is fully automatic, and adjusts itself as needed for road conditions.
When using a compact spare tire on an AWD vehicle, the system automatically detects the compact spare and disables AWD.
To restore AWD operation and prevent excessive wear on the system, replace the compact spare with a full-size tire as soon as possible. See Compact Spare Tire for more information.
