IDLE NEUTRAL CONTROL

The originally engaged starting clutch is slid to block 
the driving force (creep) which is generated when the 
vehicle is stopped with D range, improving the fuel 
consumption by reducing the load. 

CONTROL SYSTEM DIAGRAM

SUPER ALL WHEEL CONTROL (S-AWC)

The S-AWC consists of two electronic couplings for 
longitudinal driving force control and lateral driving 
force control and the AWC-ECU for control of those 
two. The AWC-ECU is connected to sensors and 
other ECUs via the CAN communication line for 
detecting driver's operation and vehicle behavior. In 
addition, the S-AWC control mode selector and indi-
cator are provided for switching and displaying the 
control status.

(1) ELECTRONIC CONTROL COUPLING (FOR 
LONGITUDINAL DRIVING FORCE CONTROL)

With the electronic control coupling installed in the rear differ-
ential, the driving force distribution to the rear wheels is con-
trolled according to the driving status.
