Does the awd have a speed limitation?

I just bought a cx5 and heard that the awd only worked below 50kmh. Can anyone enlighten me?

Not true.

I don't think the system's function is fully explained anywhere.
This is what can be found on mazdausa.com:

CX-5's lighter-yet-more-rigid SKYACTIV-Body and SKYACTIV-Chassis give you superior driving performance and responsive handling. Combined with the MacPherson strut front suspension, multilink rear suspension and stabilizer bars, they all work together to conquer even the most challenging roads while delivering excellent ride comfort. To help increase safety and handling in snow, rain or rugged terrain, the available Active Torque Split All-Wheel Drive system uses multiple sensors to continuously monitor the road and actively distribute power to the front and rear wheels as needed.

Also, take a look at this thread.

I've mentioned this before; by reading around the service manual you can get an idea of how it works, basically torque vectoring.
