How to Use 2WD and 4WD?
1 Answers
On paved roads in urban areas, 2WD is sufficient and it improves fuel efficiency. During rainy or snowy weather in the city, you can switch to 4WD mode. Four-wheel drive enhances the vehicle's traction, making it less prone to losing control or skidding on slippery surfaces, thereby improving driving safety. On certain unpaved roads, the 4WD system is necessary for extrication. More related information is as follows: 1. Four-Wheel Drive System: Some high-end four-wheel drive systems can individually distribute torque between the front and rear axles, as well as between the left and right wheels on the same axle. The development of such systems can enhance a vehicle's cornering performance. For example, if the vehicle is turning left, the system can recognize this and allocate more torque to the two wheels on the outside of the turn, helping the vehicle achieve faster cornering speeds. Such four-wheel drive systems are also equipped in some performance cars or supercars, primarily to improve handling and increase speed in corners. 2. Low-Range 4WD Mode: Some rugged off-road vehicles feature a low-range 4WD mode. After switching to this mode, the vehicle speed decreases, but torque increases significantly. Low-range 4WD mode can help the vehicle navigate through extreme terrain conditions smoothly.
