Driveline Mode

When in All-Wheel Drive, the front drive is engaged with the front differential. The locked state drives all wheels at the same speed which will increase steering effort and changes the handling characteristics from the AWD mode. If switched to AWD Lock when vehicle speed, accelerator pedal position, and engine RPM are above activation limits, AWD Lock will not engage until vehicle speed, accelerator pedal position, and engine RPM are decreased.

Operating in 2WD will lock the rear differential, meaning both rear wheels are powered. In 2WD, both rear wheels will rotate at the same speed. Using 2WD in slippery or low traction conditions helps improve traction when AWD may not be required. 

Operating in Turf Mode unlocks the rear differential and divides power flow between the left and right wheels, while allowing them to rotate at different speeds during cornering where the outside wheel needs to travel further than the inside wheel. This prevents axle torque wind-up that damages the turf . Both wheels will drive with equal torque, but this torque magnitude is limited to the tractive torque available at the wheel with the least traction. For example, if one tire is off the ground and has no traction, all power will flow to that wheel (path of least resistance) causing it to accelerate and spin. No driving torque will go to the other wheel with traction.
