How to Switch the 4WD Mode on the Terra?
2 Answers
As long as the speed is below 100km/h, simply turn the knob to the desired position to switch between 2H and 4H modes. To engage with the Terra's mechanical rear differential lock and B-LSD electronic brake differential lock, it is necessary to shift into 4LO low-speed four-wheel drive mode.
I find the four-wheel drive switching in the Terra quite simple, just operate the knob next to the driver's seat. It usually has three modes: 2H, 4H, and 4L. Before switching, make sure to bring the vehicle to a complete stop, with manual transmissions in neutral and automatic transmissions in park, otherwise the drivetrain could be damaged. Switching to 2H is the most fuel-efficient for daily highway driving, ideal for city use; 4H enhances stability during rainy weather or light off-roading; 4L is suitable for steep slopes or muddy terrain, providing stronger torque. Additionally, after switching, check the dashboard indicator lights to ensure the system is functioning properly. I often test it before heading out for camping trips, and the system responds quickly. Remember, regular maintenance of the vehicle's four-wheel drive components can extend their lifespan.
