[QUOTE="Richard L, post: 786647, member: 52972"] AWD simply means that all 4 wheels are powered, and has nothing to do with stability control. Stability control consistes of sensors and ABS systems that monitors the attitude of the vehicle and can determine if the vehicle is out of control or possibly getting ready to tip over. The sensors determin the speed and lean of the vehicle and will apply the brakes to one or more wheels to try to correct the instability. Some vehicles even do more to include traction control, and will even tighten seat belts when it feels that a crash may be about to occurr. ...Rich [/QUOTE]
