The all -
wheel drive takeoff is from a clutch pack in a transfer case at the back of the gearbox and although the car is rear -
drive in most circumstances, in default all -

slip.
Drive is sent to the front
wheels and apportioned between them by an electronically controlled limited
slip differential.
The rear -
wheel -
drive sedan's electronic limited -
slip helps, raising the fun factor and aiding traction in slippery conditions.
If 4
wheel drive there is a benefit to swapping all at once, as it reduces any differential
slip issues through differing tire diameters, but you can have worse issues from having a tire running at too low pressure.
As with the IS - F, the V8
