Abstract
A system is provided, which controls a starting and the subsequent vehicle acceleration procedure of a motor vehicle. The system compares a predetermined variable that grows continuously during the starting procedure to a threshold value. It determines a first desired value of torque in response to operator demand, and a second desired value torque in response to acceleration slip. The system performs a feed-forward 4WD control in response to the first desired value of torque when the predetermined variable is lower than or equal to the threshold value. The system determines whether or not driving situation justifies a change from performing the feed-forward 4WD control to performing a feed-back 2/4WD control in response to the second desired value of torque.
