Abstract

The invention concerns a method for operating a motor vehicle with selectable all-wheel drive. The all-wheel drive is implemented with no central differential and the rear axle is implemented with noaxle differential. The motor vehicle includes first and second partial clutches for independently decoupling left and right rear wheels from the drive train of the motor vehicle motor vehicle. The method includes determining a value that is representative of a ratio of the speeds of the front wheels to each other, comparing the value with a reference value, and disengaging the partial clutch thatis associated with an outer rear wheel when the motor vehicle is turning, when the value is greater than the reference value, in order to prevent negative torques on the outer rear wheel.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for operating a motor vehicle with optional all-wheel drive. The invention also relates to a computer program product and a control unit for carrying out such a method as well as a motor vehicle having such a control unit. Background technique [0002] All-wheel drive means a type of motor vehicle drive in which, as opposed to front-wheel drive or rear-wheel drive, drive power is supplied to all wheels of the motor vehicle that are in contact with the ground. Another and partly globally used designation for all-wheel drive is AWD (All Wheel Drive), and for four-wheel vehicles the names are 4×4 (four by four) and 4WD (Four Wheel Drive). drive)). [0003] The most commonly used version today consists of a single drive (mainly an internal combustion engine such as a petrol or diesel engine) whose power is distributed to several axles and wheels. From a technical point of view, all-wheel drive can be divided into two ba...
