Other controls and features

The Controlled Oifferent,al (on

when one drive wheel is on a surface providing
poor traction.
During normal driving and cornering, the Con-
trolled unit functions as a standard differential.
When one wheel encounters a slippery surface,
however, the Controlled Differential directs driv-
ing force to the wheel having the better traction.

vehicle to slide sideways on the crowned sur·
face of a road or in a turn.
