The AWD unit is a full-time, active device with no electronic or mechanical switching. The unit attaches to the right side of the transaxle. It contains a series of clutches within the unit. When the unit senses a loss of traction in the front wheels, it transfers power to the rear wheels through this unit. There is a small differential in the rear that splits power between the rear wheels.

Chrysler recommends a fluid change in the AWD unit and rear differential every 60,000 miles.
