relevant wheel(s) and if required also reduces engine output until the handling condition is
stable again.
Benefits & Arguments
 Improved traction, lateral stability and pulling power
 Improved tractive power on difficult road surfaces
 Increase of angle of approach/departure, breakover angle and fording depth
If all-wheel drive is selected, the torque is split 35:65 between the front and rear axle, thus
improving lateral stability and tractive power considerably. The increase in ride height also
increases.
