Torque Split Control

SYSTEM

AWD SYSTEM : Torque Split Control


2WD mode

- Vehicle is in front-wheel drive.

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.






AWD mode

- The AWD mode controls torque for obtaining suitable torque for driving on slippery roads (e.g. snow-covered roads) and provides more stable driving, compared to AWD-V.
