DIFFERENTIAL LIMITING FORCE CONTROL SYSTEM RESPONSIVE TO VEHICLE SPEED AND STEERING ANGLE

摘要

A differential limiting force control system for controlling a slip limiting force by controlling an engagement force of a clutch assembly of a limited slip differential provied between left and right drive wheels of a vehicle includes a control unit having a basic control section for increasing the differential limiting force with increase of a vehicle speed, and an adjusting section for decreasing the differential limiting force when a steering angle is equal to or lower than a predetermined angle, or when a steering angular speed is equal to or higher than a predetermined angle.
