Lincoln Navigator (2000) four-wheel driving [5/20] Wd and awd systems

How your vehicle differs from

other vehicles

4WD and AWD vehicles can differ

from some other vehicles in a few

noticeable ways. Your 4WD or

AWD may be:

• Higher — to allow it to travel

over rough terrain without

getting hung up or damaging

underbody components, and to

accommodate 4WD components.

• Shorter — to give it the

capability to approach inclines

and drive over the crest of a hill

without getting hung up or

damaging underbody

components. A shorter

wheelbase may make your

vehicle quicker to respond to

steering inputs than a vehicle

with a longer wheelbase.

• Narrower — to provide greater

maneuverability in tight spaces,

particularly in off-road use.

These differences that make your

4WD or AWD so versatile also

make it handle differently than an

ordinary passenger car.
