Abstract:
1. A method for controlling a starting and subsequent vehicle acceleration procedure of a motor vehicle, by driving the vehicle in all-wheel mode by applying torque to a road wheel in response to a command, the method comprising: comparing a predetermined variable that grows continuously during the starting and the subsequent vehicle acceleration procedure to a threshold value; determining a first desired value of torque in response to operator demand; determining a second desired value of torque in response to acceleration slip; determining the command in response to the first desired value of torque when the predetermined variable is lower than or equal to the threshold value; and determining whether or not a driving situation justifies a change from determining the command in response to the first desired value of torque to determining the command in response to the second desired value of torque.
