I think you are asking how the auto 4x4 works . To the best of my knowledge, if the front wheels slip or spin more than the a certain %, the rear axle kicks in and pulls you out of it. I'm not sure of the exact % but it is probably a revolution or 2 of the front tires, or at least that is what i have found out with my escape.

Go back to 01-31-2003 in this forum and click on the thread entitled "Control Trac ii." That should answer your question, because I'm just too tired tonight to repeat myself!
