[quote=Anonymous]Another Forester owner here. The D on AWD is for "drive" as in sending power to the wheels. It gives you traction when starting or going uphill in snowy conditions where a non-AWD car might spin its wheels. AWD does nothing at all when you are braking. Specifically, it does not prevent the tires from slipping as you try to brake-tap down a slippery hill. If your car has descent assist (mine does not) it can help maintain slow speed as you descend, but a normal driveway is probably not long enough to really engage anything but the brakes. [/quote]
