1 Answers
On-demand four-wheel drive activates in snowy, muddy, or manhole cover situations. Here are the details about on-demand four-wheel drive: 1. Snowy conditions: On snowy days, if the front wheels slip, this function will engage when the slip is detected. 2. Muddy terrain: On muddy roads where both front and rear wheels slip, the on-demand four-wheel drive starts to work. 3. Manhole covers: If the clutch slips when falling into a manhole cover, producing a foul-smelling smoke, the four-wheel drive will also activate. 4. Advantages of on-demand four-wheel drive: Compared to full-time four-wheel drive, on-demand four-wheel drive has a much simpler structure, which not only effectively reduces costs but also helps lower the overall vehicle weight. 5. Disadvantages of on-demand four-wheel drive: It also has drawbacks. Most on-demand four-wheel drive systems are limited by structural flaws when transferring power between the front and rear axles, unable to deliver more than 50% of the power to the rear axle.
