2008 Dodge Avenger- Specification- Fuel Economy
When travelling faster than 25 mph, Dodge Avenger’s AWD system sends torque to the rear wheels when cornering with the throttle open to make the car turn more easily, which makes the handling more neutral.
This is more readily accomplished with Avenger’s ECC than with viscous-coupling or gerotor systems that require some degree of front-to-rear slip to transfer torque to the rear wheels.
At speeds greater than 53 mph, the control strategy provides minimal torque to the rear wheels under normal driving conditions to provide better fuel economy.
The system contributes to good fuel economy by operating only on demand, thereby minimizing power-robbing friction and inertia.
