ABSTRACT:
A method of controlling a four-wheel drive vehicle permits reverse travel on a low-μ road without engaging shock. In a four-wheel drive vehicle in which two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive can be changed over by means of a rotation transmission device having a two-way clutch and an electromagnetic coil for controlling engagement of the two-way clutch, the traveling direction of the vehicle is detected with rotation sensors for detecting the rotational direction of the front and rear wheels. If the traveling direction of the vehicle is different from the traveling direction of the range, the two-way clutch is engaged.
