ABSTRACT:
A four wheel drive vehicle with an anti-lock braking system comprising front and rear axles coupled together by a power transmission assembly capable of transmitting the braking force acting upon the front wheels to the rear wheels. A power unit is drivingly connected to the power transmission assembly. A hydraulic braking system controls the hydraulic pressure applied to each wheel brake and an anti-lock control system controls the hydraulic braking pressure such that the braking pressure is reduced when a wheel is about to become locked. The anti-lock control system includes a front wheel control section to control the hydraulic pressure applied to the front wheel brakes and a rear wheel control section to control the hydraulic pressure applied to the rear wheel brakes. The front wheel and rear wheel control sections are connected so that in cases where the braking force acting upon the front wheels is transmitted to the rear wheels, i.e. in four wheel drive, the hydraulic braking pressure to the rear wheel brakes is reduced when the rear wheeels are about to be locked and the hydraulic pressure applied to the front wheel brakes has been reduced for at least a predetermined period of time.
