How to Adjust the 4WD on a Prado?
2 Answers
There are methods to adjust the 4WD on a Prado: 1. It can be adjusted by operating the transfer case; 2. Use a lever or an electronic control button to adjust. The Prado is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with the following body dimensions: length 4840 mm, width 1885 mm, height 1890 mm, wheelbase 2790 mm, ground clearance 215 mm, fuel tank capacity 87 liters, and vehicle weight 2285 kg. The Prado is equipped with a 3.5L V6 naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 280 HP, maximum torque of 365 Nm, and maximum torque speed of 4500 rpm.
When adjusting the Prado's four-wheel drive, I usually park and use the knob on the center console. Normally, I drive in H2 mode for fuel efficiency and smoothness, but I switch to H4 in rain or snow, which distributes power to all four wheels for effective anti-slip. It's crucial to stop the car and shift to neutral before switching to avoid damage. After switching, check if the dashboard light is on before driving off. Avoid using L4 on dry, hard roads as it wastes resources; reserve L4 low-speed mode for off-road situations like climbing hills, where power is concentrated. I recommend checking the knob's sensitivity every quarter to prevent jamming or malfunction. If issues arise, get it repaired promptly to ensure worry-free and economical driving.
