Driving Force Control

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2009 Acura MDX, 2008 Acura MDX, and 2007 Acura MDX. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

The driving force control distributes the power based on the driver's inputs. It distributes torque to the front and rear wheels based on the throttle opening and the available engine torque output. When turning, torque is applied to the rear wheels independently based on the lateral G input and the direction of the turn. This generates an inward yaw movement to help steer the vehicle around the turn.
