Abstract
A controller for a four-wheel drive vehicle includes a multi-information display, a first operation part for switching of drive modes, a second operation part for switching of off-road traveling modes, a transfer controller that controls the arrangement of a transfer device based on the drive mode, a detector that detects the arrangement of the transfer device, a setter that sets the traveling mode based on the detected arrangement and input operations to the first and second operation parts, and a display controller that instructs the multi-information display to display the drive mode based on the input operation to the first operation part and the detected arrangement and to display the traveling mode set by the setter. The display controller displays the drive mode and the traveling mode on a window when the switched drive mode is a locked drive mode and simultaneously turns off these modes after a predetermined time.
