i-ACTIV AWD® is constantly tracking road conditions and small changes in wheel speeds using a variety of sensors to help you monitor your driving conditions no matter which Springfield roads you frequent.

This makes i-ACTIV AWD® an active torque split AWD system, a great choice for Morton drivers and beyond.
The Front-Wheel Slip-Warning Detection System, also using a variety of sensors, monitors ground speed and front-wheel speed, allowing this system to catch small slips that can lead the tire to spin.
