All Wheel Drive is certainly not always on. AWD will kick in when your on slick roads like in the snow, or if the BCM via the wheel speed sensors senses loss of traction. on a dry day/night youll be in Front Wheel Drive mode. and no temp does not effect it.

And isn't it just a handfull when your going over that long interstate highway bridge and hit a large slab of black ice ... you begin to slide and just counterthe action when the awd kicks in and thwarts your effort's to correct .. My old '72 chev with a Big block was a disaster on ice (POSI) rear end would put you on the downhill slide just by putting it in gear !!
