in a motor vehicle with one or several driven axles , as well as with corresponding equalizing gears and / or power dividers for the compensation of differences in the speeds of the wheels , the spinning of wheels and / or axles is avoided through the use of braking devices for the braking of individual wheels , in conjunction with locking devices for the above - mentioned equalizing gears and / or power dividers . upon reaching a predetermined speed difference value between the drive axles , a reduction of this speed difference is first brought about by actuation of the corresponding braking devices . when a predetermined approach tendency of the wheel speeds to each other is reached , a synchronization of the wheels is obtained by actuating the appropriate locking device . in this manner , a synchronization of rotating parts is achieved during any speed behavior of the rotating parts , without damage to parts of the motor vehicle .
