Where is the Ford Edge AWD switch located?

The Ford Edge does not have a manual AWD switch; it automatically adjusts via the vehicle's onboard computer. Here are the key features: 1. Exterior: The Edge's front fascia presents a stylish and bold design with a hexagonal grille for a sporty touch. Its headlights align with consumer aesthetics and offer high visibility. Equipped with LED daytime running lights, auto-leveling headlights, automatic on/off, adaptive high beams, and cornering lights. 2. Dimensions: Measuring 4878mm×1925mm×1770mm, its bold body lines create a distinctive profile. Paired with large thick-walled tires, it achieves a clean yet sophisticated appearance. 3. Interior: The cabin follows a refined minimalist approach. The steering wheel features striking design with power-adjustable (tilt/telescopic), memory, and heating functions. The 13.2-inch touchscreen infotainment system adds layered sophistication to the well-arranged dashboard. 4. Powertrain: The Edge pairs its automatic transmission with a 180KW (390N·m torque) engine delivering robust performance. Safety includes driver fatigue alert, ABS, EBD, brake assist, multiple airbags (front/side/knee/curtain), and more.
Oh, as a Ford Edge owner, I always notice that its intelligent AWD system doesn't have a dedicated switch—it's cleverly hidden within the drive mode selector. My 2020 model actually has this control as a rotary knob located below the steering wheel's right side. Turning it lets you choose between Normal or Snow modes, where the system automatically adjusts AWD torque based on road conditions rather than manual control. Specifically, if you locate this knob near the center console, a gentle twist engages driving modes to alter AWD settings—its position may vary by model year, sometimes moving beside the gearshift or within the infotainment menu. The Edge's design is smart: the system conserves fuel automatically, only requiring manual intervention for specific terrains like rain/snow or off-road. I frequently check the instrument cluster indicators to confirm operation and occasionally clean the knob to prevent contact oxidation. If you still can't find it, just grab the owner's manual and flip to the controls section—it has clear diagrams and cautions. Regular maintenance extends AWD lifespan and sharpens its responsiveness.
