ABSTRACT:
A four-wheel drive system has a center differential between front and rear wheels, and means of restraining or locking the center differential. The four-wheel drive system is equipped with a control system for automatically unlocking the center differential when the steering angle becomes equal to or larger than a predetermined angle. The control system may further have a vehicle speed sensor. In this case, the control system unlocks the center differential only when the vehicle speed is equal to or lower than a predetermined speed.
