How do I turn on AWD in a Honda CR-V from 2017?

It’s getting pretty snowy in my area, and I’d like to use my all-wheel drive. What do I need to do to turn on AWD in my 2017 CR-V?

All-wheel drive can definitely help you out in snowy situations! Somewhat surprisingly, the AWD in a
Honda CR-V
 from 2017 engages automatically when it’s needed. You can’t manually turn AWD on and off.
The ECU in your vehicle—essentially, the brains of your car—continuously monitors your wheel performance and engages the AWD system when it detects lost traction. It can send up to 50% of the vehicle’s power to the rear wheels as needed.
Hopefully, you learned something new about your car from this!
