Paul,
You said:

"the AWD disengages when you brake" I'm quite sure you won't find
that in any Honda manual. Since the Honda AWD system is self-contained
and self-regulating, there are no inputs (switches) or outputs (guages).
Unless they've redesigned the RealTime AWD system, you can still put a
2003 CRV into a four-wheel skid on ice by turning sharply and locking up
the rear wheels with the park brake. The differential will sense that
the rear wheels have stopped turning and force the front wheels to match
that speed (as much as possible). An engine stall could even occur if
the park brakes could be locked up tight enough (with manual
transmission).

In some ways, Honda AWD takes a lot of the fun out of winter for us fans
of 'burning donuts', and whatever the correct term for a 'park-brake
U-turn' is called.
