The hydraulic coupler (or visco-coupler)
Active in 4-wheel-drive mode, it detects the loss of
traction at the front wheels and then transmits the engine
torque to the rear wheels.
The coupler will adjust the torque percentage as
required.
The rear axle with differential
The differential, a mechanical assembly
mounted in the rear axle, enables the two
wheels of an axle to turn at different
speeds (absolutely essential for turning to
prevent slipping the tyres). It also
multiplies the torque.
Lateral transmissions (or universal joints)
They transmit the engine torque from the differential to the wheels.
