The all-wheel drive system of the Chevy Equinox employs a high-range transfer case within the vehicle to transfer power to the rear wheels either manually or in response to traction issues. Primarily ideal for snow or low-traction conditions, the system typically operates in front-wheel drive mode. However, if the Equinox's traction control system senses an issue, it can activate the all-wheel drive feature to boost power to the rear wheels and prevent slipping during aggressive acceleration.

    The all-wheel-drive system in a Chevy Equinox is specifically engineered to adapt traction control upon activation. This feature shifts power to the wheels experiencing slippage in order to improve stability and regain control of the vehicle.

    To Miriam R, it doesn't quite work like that. It directs power to the wheels that aren't losing traction.
