my XC60 definitely used AWD when reversing the caravan up a steep ish field with 18" grass on it....not initially but as soon as the front started to lose grip the rear clearly came in

The XC60 AWD is very underrated off road and in snow. There are many YouTube vids to prove it.

My question is does the awd work in reverse?

I know the awd system runs all 4 wheels as I've had it up on the 2 poster lift in the garage.
I'm also sure it's kicked in when driving sideways up onto a wet grassy bank to park the car

I was reversing up a steep tarmac drive with a grassy muddy area to the side. I decided to attempt to park on the grassy area but the car would not reverse up the hill.
I had the front pass wheel in the mud and drivers on the tarmac.
The awd did not kick in.

Is this correct?

the 4wd system has a lock up function in reverse so its 50 50 it is instantly engaged in reverse if you need anything i have all parts
