AWD-V mode

Normal Control

• Pressing force of multiple disc clutch is controlled by electric control. Driving torque distribution of front and rear wheels changes automatically between approximately 100: 0 (Front wheel drive) and 50: 50 (AWD) to have an optimized torque distribution adapted to road condition change.
• When slip occurs on front wheel, distribute optimum torque to rear wheel and keep stable driving.
• On roads which do not require AWD, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close to front-wheel drive and it results in better fuel efficiency.

Cornering Control

• Torque between both rear wheels is automatically changed between 100: 0 and 0: 100 for distributing optimum torque that depends on the driving conditions and road surface conditions.
• Producing a difference between both rear wheels enables sporty and smooth handling.
• The vehicle cornering status is judged according to information from each sensor, and the optimum torque is distributed to rear wheels for preventing tight cornering/braking symptom.
