1) Distribution of Driving Force According to Road Surface
▶ On normal road surface
In vehicle with existing part time transfer case, when a driver turns the steering wheel to
park in the 4WD mode, the vehicle may halt sensation of tight corner braking phenomena.
However, in vehicle with TOD system, this phenomena does not occur and the driving force
is properly and automatically distributed.
▶ On paved road with high speed
Driving at high speed on roads such as highway mainly uses rear wheels as driving wheel.
At this moment, some of torques is also distributed to front wheels so that the vehicle could
maintain safe ground grab capacity against side winds and rain. Distribution ratio: 15 % for
front wheels and 85% for rear wheels.
▶ When turning on the road with low friction rate
During cornering on roads such as unpaved, snowy, icy and muddy, ground grab capacity
is increased by distributing required torque and, at the same time, comfortable steering
operation is maintained by controlling the ground grab capacity at high level. Distribution
ratio: 30 % for front wheels and 70 % for rear wheels.
▶ When climbing or starting off on the road with low friction rate
In order to secure the maximum ground grab capacity and driving force during climbing or
starting off on the roads such as unpaved, snowy and icy road, the system controls the
driving force to distribute properly in full 4WD mode. Distribution ratio: 44 % for front wheels
and 56 % for rear wheels.
