Speed detectors are provided for detecting speeds of each of the four wheels of a vehicle. An electric circuit is provided to compare the speeds of all wheels and to turn on at least one lamp when a difference between individual wheel speeds is detected, whereby slipping of wheels is indicated.

Slip indicating system for a four-wheel drive vehicle

An instructing system for a four-wheel drive vehicle powered by an internal combustion engine comprises a transmission for transmitting power from the engine to two main driving wheels, a clutch for selectively transmitting the power to auxiliary two-wheels, and a select lever for engaging the clutch. Speed detectors are provided for detecting both the speed of the two main driving wheels and the two auxiliary wheels. An electric circuit compares both speeds and turns on a lamp when the difference between both speeds exceeds a predetermined level, whereby slipping of the two main driving wheels is indicated.
