If I understand it correctly, the transfer of power to the front wheels is operated through the ASR system, which may be the same as found on 2wd vehicles. I suspect that if the rear wheels begin to slip, the computer sends hydraulic pressure to bear on the semi-locking rear diff and the transfer case actuator. Dunno for sure.

Maybe just a slip clutch, but it wasn't screamingly obvious to me, who can't read German except "Was ist los, Aki?" and the like.
