We picked up our new AWD 2.0 Kuga Titanium yesterday. We are please with it but we also went for some extra features that I'm now wondering about. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com

Last night (our first night with it) I noticed that the illuminated scuff plates we ordered I assume were not installed as nothing was lit up when opening the door. It looks like we got the default ones instead. When we picked up the car the dealer was explaining we had to wait until it got dark to see the scuff plates so at the time we didn't bother checking the technicality of them. I also can not find any info online or at Fords on how they work, or how they are meant to look ""“ are they automatic when opening the door, or only work when the lights are on?
I have phoned up the dealership and they said it looks like we got a miss build and now suddenly curious at what else could be wrong. I also have a concern with the AWD vs. the 2 wheel drive. We ordered the AWD (4X4) and initially I thought there would be some sort of badge on the back. The dealer said initially there was no badging to indicate the difference between car makes and in the past they had two customers take away the wrong the car and was discovered during servicing (one got the 2 wheel and the other the 4 wheel).
Now that I'm worried about other things, is there anything that I can check to see if we have the AWD vs the 2 wheel drive. As I was told there was no indication on the dashboard, or anywhere on the vehicle, how does one know? Obviously one would know if you take it off road, but more so only if you have driven a 2 wheel drive vehicle Kuga as a comparison (I have never driven 4 wheel drive before, and unlikely to take it off road to find out).
Is there anywhere in the engine or beneath the hood, is there any labels, seems crazy that Ford doesn't show anything (think it would add value by showing a badge) as the average non technical customer wouldn't know until it was pointed out maybe during a service or something?
