General
The all-wheel drive on the automatic transmission is an drive type, which in contrast to front or rear wheel drive, routes the drive force of the combustion engine to all the wheels in contact with the ground. In all-wheel drive, a differentiation is made between permanent all-wheel drive and variable all-wheel drive.
Function
Permanent all-wheel drive
The drive torque of the combustion engine is distributed via the automatic transmission, to the flange-mounted transfer case (fixed drive torque distribution), and onwards to the front axle and rear axle differential.
Permanent all-wheel drive has a fixed torque distribution between the front and rear axle, with a pre-locking torque of 40 Nm. This basic concept allows high traction values.
The permanent all-wheel drive consists basically of the following components:
- Automatic transmission
- Transfer case with front axle transmission output (fixed torque distribution)
- Front axle transmission
- Rear axle gear
Variable all-wheel drive
The drive torque of the combustion engine is distributed via the automatic transmission, to the flange-mounted transfer case (variable drive torque distribution), and onwards to the front axle and rear axle differential.
In the variable all-wheel drive, the drive torque at the front and rear axle can be shifted variably from 0-100 %. To do so, the drive torque is distributed by means of a clutch regulated electromechanically. The best possible torque distribution is calculated continuously to match the given driving situation and driver requests. The objective of variable all-wheel drive is to achieve a high traction along with increased lateral and longitudinal dynamics.
The variable all-wheel drive basically consists of the following components:
- Automatic transmission
- Transfer case with front axle transmission output (variable torque distribution)
- Front axle transmission
- Rear axle gear
