provides optimum traction for all levels of grip.

operating mode, the distribution of the torque
between the front and rear axles is controlled
automatically.

the transfer of torque to the rear wheels is
managed electronically by the control unit
in relation to the level of grip, so providing
optimum road holding.

this mode also.
