How to Switch the Pajero's Four-Wheel Drive?

[KeeganDella]

Next to the Pajero's gear lever, there is a smaller four-wheel drive lever with four modes: H2, H4, H4L, and L4L. You can switch between these modes by toggling the lever. Modes with the number 4 are four-wheel drive modes. H2 is high-speed two-wheel drive, H4 is high-speed four-wheel drive, H4L is high-speed four-wheel drive with the differential lock engaged, and L4L is low-speed four-wheel drive with the differential lock engaged. Below are the usage methods for the four-wheel drive modes: 1. Full-time drive: The front and rear wheels always maintain a four-wheel drive mode, with the engine output torque distributed 50:50 between the front and rear wheels during driving. 2. Part-time drive: The driver can switch between two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive mode by engaging or disengaging the transfer case based on road conditions. This is the most common drive mode for general off-road vehicles or 4WD SUVs. 3. On-demand drive: The drive mode is controlled by the computer. Normally, (front) rear-wheel drive is used on regular roads. If the road conditions are poor or the drive wheels slip, the computer will automatically detect and immediately distribute the engine output torque to the other two wheels, switching to four-wheel drive mode. Operation is simple.
