Is High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive 4H or 4L?
1 Answers
High-speed four-wheel drive is 4H. Below are the specific introductions to the four-wheel drive system modes: 1. H4F Full-Time Four-Wheel Drive. H4F is the default four-wheel drive mode for the Prado, used during everyday city driving. 2. H4L High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive. In high-speed four-wheel drive mode, both the front and rear differentials are locked, causing all four wheels to rotate at the same speed. This prevents situations where a lifted wheel spins rapidly while a stuck wheel does not move. When in H4L mode, it is best not to exceed a speed of 80km/h. 3. L4L Low-Speed Four-Wheel Drive. Low-speed four-wheel drive is generally used in slippery conditions such as mud or swamps. It reduces speed through a gear mechanism to increase torque. The Prado's low-speed four-wheel drive can amplify the torque from high-speed four-wheel drive by 2.6 times, giving the wheels greater power to escape difficult situations, albeit at a slower speed.
