The Haldex motor will get energized if the front wheels turn faster than the rear wheels. No drag racing in dirt! Actually, the unit will just engage the clutch until no longer needed. The rear wheels don't get a whole lot of torque, about 25% of the front.

I managed to spin all 4 wheels in my driveway when covered in snow. Fun going sideways! But that was with my 1998 and the old design.
