A part-time type four-wheel drive vehicle has automatic locking clutches which are automatically engaged to connect the front wheels with their axle shafts when the vehicle is moved in the four-wheel drive mode, and can be disengaged by rotating the axle shafts in the reverse direction in the two-wheel drive mode. The vehicle is further provided with a rotation sensor for sensing a rotation of the front propeller shaft or other member for driving the front wheels, and an indicator for informing the driver of the engagement of the automatic locking clutches if the front propeller shaft is rotating. The vehicle may be further provided with a vehicle movement sensor.
