DESCRIPTION
-
AWD controls distribution of drive power between front-wheel drive (100:0) and 4-wheel drive (50:50) conditions according to signals from sensors.
-
By receiving the steering angle sensor signal, yaw rate sensor signal, side G sensor signal and decel G sensor signal, Nissan Murano vehicle with VDC corrects a torque distribution for front and rear wheels according to a driving operation and a behavior of the Nissan Murano vehicle during cornering and improves drivability and safety on a slippery road surface.
-
Electronic control allows optimal distribution of torque to front/rear wheels to match road conditions.
-
AWD mode makes possible stable driving possible with no wheel spin, on snowy roads or other slippery surfaces.
-
On roads which do not require 4-wheel drive, it contributes to improved fuel economy by driving in conditions close to front-wheel drive.
-
Sensor inputs determine the Nissan Murano vehicle's turning condition, and tight cornering/braking are controlled by distributing optimum torque to rear wheels.
NOTE:
Light tight-corner braking symptom may occur depending on driving condition. This is not malfunction.
