During Normal Driving

During normal straight driving (on flat roads at constant speed), all four wheels rotate at the same speed. The center differential delivers engine torque to the front and rear drive axles. The viscous coupling does not perform the differential-action control because there is no rotating speed difference between the front and rear drive shafts.
