AWD is an automatic 4 wheel drive when required.

Think of it more like it's going to be 2WD most of the time, but when there is low traction (such as ice) the 4WD will engage.

4WD is a permanent thing, or at least always on when you engage it.

I don't think that's universally true

Indeed. Marketing ruins all definitions.
