ABSTRACT:
A control device for controlling differential limiting mechanisms of a four-wheel drive car provided with a central differential gear having a first differential limiting mechanism, a differential gear having a second differential limiting mechanism incorporated in a rear drive shaft and a differential gear incorporated in a front drive shaft includes sensors for detecting the rotational frequencies of the wheels, actuators for operating the respective differential limiting mechanisms and a controller. The controller controls the actuators such that the differential is greatly limited by the first differential limiting mechanism when a difference between the rotational frequencies of the front and rear wheels is larger than a predetermined value and the differential is greatly limited by the second differential limiting mechanism when a difference between the rotational frequencies of the left and right wheels is larger than a predetermined value.
