Abstract
A control device is mountable on a four-wheel drive vehicle including a main drive wheel and an auxiliary drive wheel, and is configured to control a drive force transmission device configured to transmit a drive force to the auxiliary drive wheel. The control device includes a processor and a memory storing a program, when executed by the processor, to cause the control device to change a control characteristic of the drive force transmission device that indicates a relationship between a vehicle state of the four-wheel drive vehicle and a drive force transmitted to the auxiliary drive wheel in response to an input from the input device.
Claims7
A control device that is mountable on a four-wheel drive vehicle including a main drive wheel and an auxiliary drive wheel, and that is configured to control a drive force transmission device configured to transmit a drive force to the auxiliary drive wheel, the control device comprising:
- a processor and a memory storing a program, when executed by the processor, to cause the control device to:
- change a control characteristic of the drive force transmission device that indicates a relationship between a vehicle state of the four-wheel drive vehicle and a drive force transmitted to the auxiliary drive wheel in response to an input from a user interface of an input device,
- wherein the control characteristic is selected from a plurality of control characteristics in response to the input,
- wherein the plurality of control characteristics comprise a first control characteristic in which vibration prevention performance for preventing vibration and noise generated in the four-wheel drive vehicle is prioritized, and a second control characteristic in which performance contradictory with the vibration prevention performance is prioritized, and
- wherein in a case in which the first control characteristic is selected, the drive force transmitted to the auxiliary drive wheel is different than that in a case in which the second control characteristic is selected.
A control device that is mountable on a four-wheel drive vehicle including a main drive wheel and an auxiliary drive wheel, and that is configured to control a drive force transmission device configured to transmit a drive force to the auxiliary drive wheel, the control device comprising:
- a processor and a memory storing a program, when executed by the processor, to cause the control device to:
- change a control characteristic of the drive force transmission device that indicates a relationship between a vehicle state of the four-wheel drive vehicle and a drive force transmitted to the auxiliary drive wheel in response to an input from an input device,
- wherein the control characteristic is selected from a plurality of control characteristics in response to the input,
- wherein the plurality of control characteristics comprise a first control characteristic in which vibration prevention performance for preventing vibration and noise generated in the four-wheel drive vehicle is prioritized, and a second control characteristic in which performance contradictory with the vibration prevention performance is prioritized, and
- wherein a selection status of the control characteristic is transmitted to a server configured to aggregate the selection status.
