PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enhance the behavior stability of a vehicle before and after the start of ABS control, for the vehicle being equipped with a differential limiting device and an anti-skid brake. SOLUTION: In the vehicle, a constraint torque control is performed according to a final constraint torque (T final) set in correspondent to a vehicle driving status, when the vehicle is not under ABS control. Meanwhile, the constraint torque control is performed according to a final constraint torque (T final) set by an ABS corresponding constraint torque setting section (46) in correspondent to a wheel velocity difference (ΔVcd) between front and rear wheels, when the vehicle is under ABS control.
