Good question! 4x4 (or four-wheel drive) is always on in the X5—no button needed!
Four-wheel drive is when all the wheels are powered. In many vehicles, the car can switch back and forth between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive.
However, the
BMW
X5 is automatically in 4x4, so there’s no need to press any buttons!
