Abstract

In a four wheel drive vehicle having an anti-lock brake system in combination with a front differential gear, a rear differential gear and a center differential gear, a center differential lock mechanism between the front differential gear and the center differential gear is automatically disengaged when a throttle opening sensor detects a low degree of throttle opening independently of the vehicle speed. The device for automatically disengaging the center differential lock mechanism is operated under the control of an operating unit receiving input signals from a center differential gear operating switch, a vehicle speed sensor, a rear wheel speed sensor, a brake lamp sensor and a throttle opening sensor.
