Abstract
In a driveline in a front wheel drive vehicle the distribution of drive torque to the drive wheels (1) via a differential (6) is controlled by means of a differential brake with a hydraulically controlled limited slip clutch (7). A low preparatory hydraulic pressure is applied to the clutch at the occurrence of any one of certain predetermined driving situations for decreasing the response time for the clutch.
