Abstract
An ideal lateral acceleration is calculated based on vehicle speed and steering angle, and an actual lateral acceleration is calculated based on a lateral acceleration detected by a lateral G sensor. A breakaway point of tires is determined by comparing the actual lateral acceleration with the ideal lateral acceleration. A differential operation of a central differential is controlled by restricting the differential operation in accordance with a determined breakaway point and the difference between the ideal lateral acceleration and the actual lateral acceleration.
