Abstract
A slip control mechanism of a motor vehicle has a brake provided for each driving wheel, a first detection device means for detecting slip of each driving wheel, a second detection device for detecting if a predetermined condition has been met during a starting period of the vehicle, and a slip control device for operating the brake for providing each driving wheel with braking force when an excessive slip is detected, based on signals from the first detection device, to thereby eliminate such excessive slip. The slip control device controls the brake for the respective driving wheels whereby substantially the same amount of braking force is applied to the driving wheels when the second detection device detects that the predetermined condition is not met. The slip control device also controls the brake for the respective driving wheels independently in accordance with signals from the first detecting device when the second detecting device detects that the predetermined condition is met.
