Where is the AWD button on a Chevy Equinox?

I’m planning to take my Chevy Equinox on a bit of a bumpy ride, and I think I need to use the All-Wheel Drive feature. Unfortunately, I’ve never used it before and don’t know how to turn it on! Where should I check for the AWD button in my Chevy Equinox?

Whether it’s through snow or over mountains, the
Chevy Equinox
can take you pretty much anywhere. But if you want to stay safe while driving in unkempt environments, you should learn more about your car’s off-road features, like the all-wheel-drive button (AWD) located next to the gear shift stick.
As the name implies, all-wheel drive is when your car provides power for all your wheels, instead of just the front two or just the back two. Using AWD is a great way to improve your vehicle’s traction and power when you’re driving in tricky situations.
Extra traction can prevent your car from slipping when the road gets:
  • Wet
  • Icy
  • Snowy
  • Muddy
Even though AWD can help keep your car safe on the road, you’ll still be at risk financially in the case of an accident. Luckily, you can find the lowest available rates on the car insurance you need in minutes with
