How To Use Your 4WD SUV On And Off Road 0

Posted on January 11, 2011 by admin

Whether at home or across the road, a 4-wheel drive SUV may be a necessity. Although technically a passenger vehicle, is also a tool, hence the word “utility” as in “SUV.” Like any new tool, a 4WD SUV will take some time to master, and the rules are different for both on and off road use, the instructions must be followed for optimal performance – and fun!

Four-wheel drive SUVs in general have three drive configurations: Automatic (2WD or “self” in the selector), a maximum of four (4H in the selector) and a minimum of four (4 L in the selector). This configuration simply tell the driver how many wheels are driving the vehicle at any given time, and how power is transferred to the wheels. For example, when the vehicle is in 2WD, two-wheel drive vehicle, like a standard car. When you change the setting 4H, therefore the same as that of a 4×4 vehicle, the more energy is transferred to the wheels, and can be driven at highway speeds. 4L is known as “Team Grandma”, the four wheel drive vehicle with maximum power, and you can not drive very slowly.

Overall, a 4WD SUV spends most of his time on the road in 2WD mode. On behalf of energy efficiency, the ideal vehicle to be left in 2WD on dry paved roads. Of course, sometimes the road conditions are far from ideal. The shift to 4H should be considered when the pavement is slippery, often in the snow or ice, and can usually be done while the 4×4 vehicle is in motion.

4L mode is rarely used on paved roads, but the need arises from time to time. 4L can not be selected while driving, the driver shall stop the vehicle and move to another park or neutral, depending on model. The vehicle can be put in 4L. The driver must wait until the transfer case to engage in a “click” can usually be felt or heard, before driving. To ensure that the vehicle is in 4L, a test called “crab” can confirm their participation. This is done by putting the vehicle in motion, turn the wheel towards the right or left, and accelerating slowly . If the vehicle does not roll smoothly or jumping, is dedicated to 4L.

Contrary to the floor, 4H may be necessary in a dry and wet. The vehicle must be 4×4 in 2WD if the track is very smooth and flat. Raw or steeper trails may require the use of 4H. 4H mode should be involved before attempting to climb a steep path with little material on the surface.

The general rule for driving a 4WD off-road trail and mud is very steep or set the vehicle in 4L before attempting to navigate the road. Once on the road, the best way not to get caught is to use the vehicle dynamics in difficult times, standing in the mud is a sure way to ruin a trip before it even starts. Another golden rule is to drive the 4WD in the mud or water that is deeper than half the height of the vehicle wheel 4×4. Wet or dry, while driving on the ground, always slow and steady wins the race.

Driving a SUV 4 wheel drive is different from driving a car or truck. You could say it is the best of both worlds. Most owners agreed.
