* ABS and VTD are interconnected through "the computer": 'Each wheel is equippmed with its own speed sensor and control valve [4 channel ABS]. The data obtained from each wheel is processed by the computer, which then issues independent control instructions for the front, and rear wheels simultaneously. At the same time, control is exercised over the E-4AT and VTD-4WD systems. When the ABS is activated, torque is distributed to maintain an optimum balance between the front and rear wheels, ensuring running stability even in low "mu" conditions such as ice covered road.'
I will post my scan as soon as possible.
The available colours in 1992 were:
249 Silver Metallic
222 Dark Grey Metallic
235 Black Mica
947 Mica Ruby
265 Dark Red Mica
267 White Mica

That description leaves a lot out, and infers that the ABS wheel sensors are connected to the gearbox. I have added the bits left out.
* VTD-4WD has 3
6/6
4 front rear distribution
* ABS are interconnected through "the
ABS computer": 'Each wheel is equippmed with its own speed sensor and control valve [4 channel ABS]. The data obtained from each wheel is processed by the
ABS computer, which then issues independent
braking control instructions for the front, and rear wheels simultaneously. At the same time, control is exercised over the E-4AT and VTD-4WD systems. When the ABS is activated,
the gearbox changes back to 3rd gear, torque is distributed to maintain an optimum balance between the front and rear wheels, ensuring running stability even in low "mu" conditions such as ice covered road.'
