Gives you access to their manuals, and also (I am told) to an extra manual at no cost if you need it. No downside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilingBoognish Posted March 27, 2009 Share Posted March 27, 2009 One sure fire way to tell is to look at the back axle. If it has a differential, you vehicle is equipped with AWD, if it does not, you own a front driver. Out of curiosity, did you not check on this before you purchased the vehicle?

IS250_rookie Posted April 4, 2009 Share Posted April 4, 2009 Also, I think there is no Snow Mode button next to the Shifter if it's FWD...not sure though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
