Default AWD vs FWD

Hi there,

How can we differentiate AWD from FWD? Is there any easy indicator that shows AWD over FWD? Thanks.

FWD has a trac button near the tranny shift.

Or simply look under the vehicle for the center drive shaft. AWD has it, FWD doesn't.

Actually the button by the shifter is the ECT Snow mode. The TRAC OFF button is located next to the tire pressure reset button right under the dash just over the driver's right leg.

I was gonna say it's near the seat heater switch (in RX300,) but since some don't have it, so the best I could describe was near the tranny shift.

I didn't know the RX330 has a tire pressure reset, thanks for the info.
