Patent ID: 8386143

Claim:
A control device for controlling a front-wheel drive force and a rear-wheel drive force of a vehicle, the control device comprising: first control means for controlling a drive force of a main drive wheel and a drive force of an auxiliary drive wheel, the drive force of the main drive wheel being one of the front-wheel drive force and the rear-wheel drive force, and the drive force of the auxiliary drive wheel being another of the front-wheel drive force and the rear-wheel drive force; second control means for sending to the first control means an auxiliary-drive-wheel-limiting drive force for limiting the drive force of the auxiliary drive wheel in the case that the vehicle is traveling in an unstable state, and third control means for controlling a motor drive force, which is a source of the drive force of the main drive wheel and the drive force of the auxiliary drive wheel, wherein in the case that the vehicle is traveling in an unstable state, the first control means reduces the drive force of the auxiliary drive wheel and the third control means reduces the motor drive force on the basis of the auxiliary-drive-wheel-limiting drive force.
