Front/Rear Power Distribution AWD Haldex
Hi everyone, I recently bought a 2005 Ford Five Hundred AWD with the CVT. I was wondering how the Volvo Haldex system works on our cars. I understand the cars mostly run in FWD mode, but is there any sort of power given to the rear wheels 100% of the time? I read somewhere it was 95% front 5% rear under normal conditions unless the computer detect slippage and automatically diverts more power to the rear wheels. I don't know if that is true I just read it somewhere but it wasn't referring specifically to the Ford 500. Also, how much of the total power can be diverted to the rear wheels? 50%?
Thanks!
Thanks!

This (1st AWD paragraph) is from the 2006 owners manual - and is all I know.
