[QUOTE="ricklack, post: 20137, member: 2162"] I have gotten notices on the DIC suggesting to turn on the AWD when it senses slippery conditions, a useful reminder as i shut mine off. My thought on leaving it on all the time, is that it is probably causing more wear than if it was off. My 2013 Nox was full time AWD and the transfer case destroyed itself - granted that was at @ 320,000km or so. But I figure if I can turn it off it may help it last longer. I appreciate the button cover info- I too have found that it gets accidently turned on. I usually realize it's on when the gas mileage drops. It is significant enough that I notice. 360 HD Surround Cameras were not on my "must have" list either, but since I bought the car during the pandemic I didn't have a lot of choice. I had selected a more basic model that would arrive in 2 months, but couldn't wait as my 2013 Nox front differential decided it was done. The dealer was getting the one I bought the next day and no one had reserved it. I am so freakin happy I was forced into ponying up a few grand for all the safety and comfort features. I am also inclined to think all of these are now "must haves" going forward. Sometimes it is good to spoil yourself ....... [/QUOTE]
