German term or phrase: Schub-oder Zugbetrieb

Der Rechner greift auf die ABS-Drehzahlsensoren, auf die Motorsteuerung und auf das Signal des Gaspedals zurück. Mit diesen Daten besitzt der Computer alle wesentlichen Informationen über Geschwindigkeit, Kurvenfahrt, ***Schub-oder Zugbetrieb*** und kann dementsprechend quasi permanent die Kraft bis nahezu 100 Prozent auf eine Antriebsachse verteilen.

Der Frontantriebs-Charakter wurde bei der Abstimmungsarbeit der Haldex-Kupplung absichtlich bewahrt, weil das gezogene Auto gegenüber dem geschobenen Vorteile hat.

slipping or skidding

Explanation:
I don't think they mean over- or understeer because they would probably have used the German terms Übersteuern and Untersteuern

2 hrs confidence:

rear- or front-wheel drive

Explanation:
Rear-wheel as in "being pushed", and front-wheel as in "being pulled". I think the last sentence of your question "...weil das gezogene..." gives the game away.

Your article appears to deal with a 4WD vehicle where the drive can be diverted to front or rear to suit the circumstances - am I right?

Explanation:
Zugbetrieb = traction operation or mode.

Im Vergleich dazu gibt es die "Schubabschaltung" => overrun cutoff.

Example sentence(s):

In some vehicles, unstable driving performance can occur in some operating situations during the transition from the overrun phase or from the idle phase into the traction phase (drive phase) of a drive unit of a motor vehicle. In the extreme case, this c
