How to enable the drive

There are such situations on the road, when it is necessary to turn on all -wheel drive, otherwise the car simply gets bogged down on an impassable area of \u200b\u200bthe road or will not be able to move. Drivers of SUVs are more often than others in such situations due to the fact that they have cars that a priori should drive everywhere. Some cars with 4 WD have a disconnecting and constant axis. Some models have a front connected axis, others have the rear, some have a permanent all -wheel drive. It is very important to deal with the mechanism for connecting/disconnecting the axes before the car and the driver fall into a difficult situation.

Carefully study the instructions for your SUV. Typically, in the operating instructions, the connections and circuits are clarified in great detail.

There may be two ways to connect. What way to use it depends on the car manufacturer and how it has long been released. If a car of Russian production or a sufficiently mature foreign car, most likely, all -wheel drive will be turned on using a special lever on the handout. It must be switched to position 4WD or 4H.

There are also special couplings on wheels, they can switch automatically from the cabin using a button or lever or manually. Then it will be necessary to leave the passenger compartment and give the position of these couplings to the position of Lock or to the position of 4*4.

In more modern models, all -wheel drive is activated by pressing the button on the dashboard with a 4WD sign. An appropriate sensor will light up on the panel, showing that a full -wheel drive mode is turned on. If there are couplings, then they will be removed on their own.

Usually, on modern models, when it reaches normal speed, the second axis is automatically turned off. In other models, you need to turn it off manually.

Do not use the connected four -wheel drive in normal road conditions. Do not turn on the drive at a very high speed, the tread and size of all wheels should be the same. This will allow you to better save the transmission and controllability of the car.
