2008 Dodge Avenger- Specification-Ride Handling

The Dodge Avenger R/T’s all-wheel-drive system is normally passive, and power is transmitted solely to the front wheels. However, when driving conditions get dicey and extra traction is needed, the Dodge Avenger’s AWD system anticipates slip by responding to pedal position and transfers power to the rear wheels.

If the Avenger’s front wheels start to slip on ice, but the rear wheels are on dry pavement, the AWD system tells the ECC to start clamping and sends even more torque to the rear wheels to minimize slippage and get the vehicle moving.

The ECC system also knows when to modulate the amount of power sent to the rear wheels.

If the vehicle is traveling at highway speeds and starts to hydroplane, the system sends very little power to the rear wheels because the ECC knows the rear wheels don’t need a lot of power in that situation.
