- FIGS. 1 to 7 may be embodied in a four-wheel drive vehicle of a front internal combustion engine-rear drive (FR) type or a rear internal combustion engine / rear drive (RR) type.
- FR front internal combustion engine-rear drive
- RR rear internal combustion engine / rear drive
- a dry multi-plate electromagnetic clutch mechanism may be used.
- the coupling may be changed to another coupling (hydraulic type, electromagnetic type, motor, etc.) capable of controlling the torque distribution.
- the CPU 22 may perform the steady running determination used in the embodiment of FIGS. Also in this case, the CPU 22 controls the coupling 7 in the first torque distribution mode when determining that the four-wheel drive vehicle 1 is running in a steady state.
- FIGS. 1 the embodiments of FIGS.
- the value of the determination time Lt is set to be always constant. You may.
- the coupling 7 may be controlled based on the magnitude of the traveling parameter of the back P 423.
- the torque distribution may be changed according to the control of the CPU 22. That is, this four-wheel drive vehicle is provided with an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch in a center differential provided in the vehicle. Torque distribution from a predetermined ratio determined by the center differential, the multiple disc clutch is fully frictionally engage the front wheels: the torque distribution ratio of the rear wheels 5 0: can be set arbitrarily between up to 5 0.
