Is Low-Range Four-Wheel Drive 4H or 4L?
1 Answers
Low-range four-wheel drive is 4L. Below is an introduction to 4H and 4L: 1. Introduction to 4H and 4L: In four-wheel-drive vehicles, 4H refers to high-range four-wheel drive, while 4L refers to low-range four-wheel drive. 4H stands for 4WD-HIGH and is used for quickly traversing uneven surfaces. 4L stands for 4WD-LOW and is used for slow passage through extreme off-road conditions. 2. Characteristics of 4H: High-range four-wheel drive is suitable for high-speed driving on paved roads or in rain and snow, and can handle most off-road conditions. It significantly improves stability, traction, and handling, but compared to 2H, fuel consumption increases. 3. Characteristics of 4L: Low-range four-wheel drive mode is typically found in vehicles with advanced four-wheel-drive systems or those with strong off-road capabilities, such as the Wrangler, G-Class, and Land Rover Defender. In this mode, the four-wheel-drive system uses a lower gear ratio to amplify torque. Some models may also automatically engage the central differential lock, rear differential lock, and various electronic assistance systems in this mode. 4L is the option for high-intensity off-roading. For models equipped with 4L and differential locks, using this mode on surfaces with good traction can lead to handling difficulties and component damage, and is therefore prohibited.
