it basically distributes engine power to both the wheels rather than only 1 wheel to power the car... the cars traction gets better and wheel spin is reduced rapidly, around 70-80%.....

It helps increase traction & grip of the car on the road as well as help keep the car in best gear possible; which is very helpful in snow,ice,mud & rain.

@All thanks for the help...
is this only useful in front-wheels cars or it can be used in rear-wheelers?

Hi-po Civics and Integras have been using it for quite some time. If I'm not mistaken, all BMW M-cars have had it, not so sure about Mercedes AMGs though.

Take a look at these links:
