SYMMETRICAL ALL-WHEEL DRIVE
Variable Torque Distribution (VTD)
VTD All-Wheel Drive utilizes an electronically controlled variable transfer clutch in conjunction with a planetary-type
center differential. Torque distribution is normally configured at a performance-oriented rear-wheel-biased 45/55-split
front-to-rear. Utilizing Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC) sensors, VTD All-Wheel Drive evaluates road conditions by
continually estimating surface friction and adjusts torque distribution accordingly front-to-rear for optimum traction.
STABILITY AND TRACTION
Vehicle Dynamics Control (VDC)
Integrated with VTD All-Wheel Drive, standard VDC stability control utilizes sensors which constantly monitor
wheel speed, steering angle, brake pressure, vehicle yaw rate and lateral g-forces. If VDC detects a difference
between the drivers intended path and the one the vehicle is actually taking, VDC applies braking power and/or
reduces engine torque to help correct vehicle path.
Traction Control System (TCS)
VDC also incorporates an all-wheel, all-speed traction control system which senses a loss of traction and applies
braking force to the slipping wheel or wheels as necessary to maintain vehicle motion.
