I have to dig out my OB2 reader and see what it says the percentage is at in Drive at a stand still, also curious as to what it is when the wipers are on in the same situation.
Looks to me like we're just having a discussion. Kind of what we do here. As usual, you need to make more out of it. [emoji16]It's like, so much voodoo on this forum. Everyone is now stumbling all over themselves t o explain how I did the wrong magic to "lock the diff".

Well when one says the other is "still taking out his azz" then its hardly a "discussion"
I wouldn't know. I torquebraked it. I didn't touch the handbrake.

I still enjoyed reading it though, very informative since I'm looking to upgrade to AWD.

. If it's so damn hard to "lock the diff", you'll never punch in the right combo in time!

Oh, it's a good system, it's just reactive to slip and not proactive against slip on take-off. For it to truly be proactive, it would have to be engaged ALL of the time, and 2% is just to keep the slop out. But people like CX-500 need video proof and all that.
I remember seeing this video a while back where they compared the AWD capability of the CRV, Forester and CX-5 in snow.
In it he mentioned that the CX-5 was reactive and then at 6 mins they do the uphill stop/start and he says the rear is always on, no mention of % though.
probably not a good idea but just throwing out there....
Future 3rd party module that can be turned on and off that plugs in inline to alter rear power on driver demand....like Pedal Commander for the rear diff
God, every single post has nonsense and incorrect statements.
The (as you suggest) "2%" isn't to keep slop out. It is a deliberate design decision to maximize MPG.
And, BTW, I've watched video proof of elephants appearing, as if by magic. That was more convincing that your youtube.
Made 4 vids. First two are TCS on. Second two are TCS off. I did NOT have the wipers on, I did NOT do a brake stand. Just let off the brakes, and floored it. It's cold here, and the snow is very grippy.
Don't know why the vids are so dark, look fine on my calibrated monitor. Anyhow, the rear tires start visibly spinning 2-4 frames after the fronts. That's when *full* lockup on the rear diff occurs, and both axles are spinning at the same RPM. There's considerable power transmitted before that point.

Using the brakes deactivates AWD, so that antilock can work its magic. That's why you got the front spinning before the rear.
Now, the question is, did unob know this before I pointed it out?
