i use awc eco for everyday driving.

When winter shows up, I use normal if it’s just a light coating of snow, snow mode if there’s more than 1/2” on the ground and lock mode if theres a chance I’ll get stuck or am stuck.

Don’t drive around a lot in lock mode. It’s not good for the driveline.

You can use it if the roads are really really bad. I think of it like 4x4 low in trucks. It’s there when the going gets rough. I’ve never had any trouble getting around in snow mode only and I was pushing snow with the bumper sometimes.
