I am lazy to research on this but I have an 08 G35X, I believe the car is 100% RWD unless if the AWD feature is required. Since I got my car a week ago, I am not going to use the AWD at least for the next 9 months. That means the AWD feature is going to be collecting spider webs for that time. Will this not affect it, i.e. it might stop working. I know this apocalyptic scenario is unlikely to play out like that but I am just using it to illustrate my point better

 

Terrible first sentence to write...

 

ROFL, funniest post of 08. LMAO

 

at least he's being honest

 

it will not affect it...engineers are very pessimistic people that try to find the bad in everything to avoid overlooked problems. you'll be okay

 

If you don't use the search feature for 9 months, it will still work ok in the future

Seriously, don't worry about it. AWD will be fine. Plus, your warranty is good for a while.

 

AWD is automatic, u wont know when it comes on and when it doesnt.

 

and you always start from a stop in awd. 75/25 rear/front all the time; 50/50 rear/front w/snow button on. over 12mph you're then rwd until the car decides you're slipping.

 

Thanks guys, glad to know there are friendly people out there. I will use the "search feature" next time

 

Thanks for that information. I as wondering when it is engaged and when it is not.

So it is 50/50 all the time when the snow button is on? Is this still true over 12 mph? Also, is there a limit on what speed I can drive with the snow button on?

 

50/50 (i.e the snow button on) is engaged to 12 mph, then your car reverts back to 75/25. So drive as fast as you would like with the snow button on, or off - it doesn't matter.
