The four-wheel drive 4Motion
The main function of the four-wheel drive is to
compensate the drive forces between the front
and rear axles as a factor of positive
engagement.
The Torsen differential detects wheel slip in one
axle and distributes the drive power to the
wheels of an axle with better wheel grip. The Torsen differential permits limited differences in
speed between the front and rear axles and
therefore allows ABS control processes. It operates
automatically and reacts independent of the driver.
