Active Torque Control 4WD System
A new active torque control 4WD system with an electric control coupling is used.
The active torque control 4WD system, which has an electric control coupling in the front part of the rear
differential, transmits torque to the rear wheels when needed, and only in the amount needed, based on
information provided by various sensors.
By operating the four-wheel drive lock switch provided on the instrument panel, the driver can select the
following modes: the AUTO mode to optimally control the torque that is transmitted to the rear wheels,
and the LOCK mode that locks the torque that is transmitted to the rear wheels to the maximum amount.
