Automatic all wheel drive. The BorgWarner TorqTransfer System ITM-I (interactive torque management I). The system uses electronic sensors and microcomputer controls to sense slippage in a vehicle's front wheels and automatically transfers power to the rear wheels. Then, when the front wheels are no longer slipping, the system reduces or eliminates power to the rear wheels.

The reduced slippage increases efficiencies that enhance vehicle handling and traction and improve fuel economy. The ITM-I can work with other systems such as antilock brake systems and electronic stability programs to further enhance traction and stability.

SantaFe II 2006-..., Tuscon 2004-2009Next

Automatic all wheel drive. The Borg Warner ITM 3e, an electromagnetic clutch-type system that sends 95% of the power to the front wheels—until they encounter a low traction situation, when up to 50% of the power can be apportioned rearward.
