What does the Audi quattro logo mean?
1 Answers
Audi quattro refers to Audi's permanent all-wheel drive technology. Here are the relevant details: 1. Permanent all-wheel drive: In the drivetrain system of a permanent all-wheel drive vehicle, a center differential is installed to distribute power to the front and rear drive axles. Unlike part-time four-wheel drive or on-demand four-wheel drive, permanent all-wheel drive vehicles maintain four-wheel drive at all times during operation. Depending on road conditions, the center differential allocates engine power to the front and rear wheels in a certain proportion. 2. Precautions: When towing the vehicle on a dolly, only the front wheels should be secured, while the rear two wheels continue to roll freely. In this situation, the multi-plate clutch rapidly increases its engagement level, causing the towed vehicle's rear wheels to transmit kinetic energy to the center differential. The center differential will generate significant heat due to reverse friction, ultimately leading to burnout. Therefore, permanent all-wheel drive vehicles should not be towed.
