Shifting Between 2H and 4H
Your vehicle is equipped to shift from 2H to 4H mode at any vehicle
speed from 0-30 kmph. To shift from 2H to 4H, depress the clutch,
move the selector lever to 4H position.
Never operate the selector 4WD lever if the wheels are
slipping. Stop the slipping or spinning before operating the
switch knob.
To shift from 4H to 2H, depress the clutch, move the selector lever
to the 2H position. This can be done at any speed from 0-30 kmph.
To Shift from 4H to 4L
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop and depress the clutch
pedal.
2. Shift the four wheel drive selector lever to the 4L position.
To Shift from 4L to 4H
1. Bring the vehicle to a complete stop and depress the clutch
pedal.
2. Shift the four wheel drive selector lever to the 4H position.
In heavy snow or when pulling a load, or for additional control at
slower speeds, select a low gear and/or shift the transfer case to
the 4L range.
• Over-revving the engine can spin the wheels and traction will be
lost
• Avoid abrupt gear shifts on slippery roads, engine braking may
cause skidding and loss of control
9.7.3 Do’s and Don’ts
Do’s:
• While the system is shift-on-the-fly between 2H-4H-2H, it is a
good practice to stop the vehicle and then shift the transfer case
lever
• Learn to use the power band. The m2DiCR engine performs best
between 2000-3500rpm
• 4-Low (4L) is recommended for soft and boggy conditions, while
4-High (4H) may be used in places where speed may be
required. For example – Sand
• Always use 4L to descend steep slopes to take maximum
advantage of engine braking
• After shifting to 2-Wheel Drive, make it a practice to unlock the
auto-hubs by reversing a few metres to reduce wear and tear on
the front axle
• While ascending or descending hills, always be parallel to the
slope to ensure maximum stability of the vehicle.
