All-wheel drive (AWD) is a system designed to help maximize traction on various types of road conditions, including wet, snowy, rough or dry. The key component in the system is a viscous coupler. The viscous coupler is used to link the back wheels to the front wheels so that if the front wheels start to slip, power will be transferred to the rear wheels, thus providing additional traction.

All wheel drive is automatic:no driver interaction is needed.The system senses a loss of traction and redirects available engine torque to the wheels that have the most traction and away from the wheels that are slipping.
