[QUOTE="NXR71, post: 22723, member: 6892"] Both of those articles are from [B]before [/B]the revised procedure. The 2023 and 2024 Equinox have a new always-on electrically assisted braking system, unlike the 2022 and older. That caused the front tires to screech and move erratically and occasionally smoke on long, extended turns, cloverleafs specifically. The revised procedure to disconnect the battery was developed to stop that problem. The manual says you cannot flat tow with the donut spare on the front. Reading between the lines, it feels like disconnecting the battery did something to no longer require that AWD be engaged. Me, I'd still engage it before disconnecting the battery because Chevy does not say one way or the other so it should not matter. [/QUOTE]
