ABSTRACT:
Disclosed is a four wheel drive vehicle with four wheels drivable, which is provided with a first slip control apparatus for reducing a driving force to the wheels by operating a brake mounted on each of the wheels and with a second slip control apparatus for reducing a driving force to the wheels by reducing the engine output. Operation of only the first slip control apparatus or both the first and second slip control apparatuses is selectively carried out in accordance with the number of wheels which are detected to be slipping in an amount greater than a given degree of slippage. Particularly when such slipping wheels are two, the slip control is conducted by operating only the first slip control apparatus or both the first and second slip control apparatuses in accordance with control modes predetermined on the basis of six combinations in which such two slipping wheels out of the four wheels are combined with each other.
