What do L4 and H4 mean?
1 Answers
L4 stands for Low-range 4WD (Four-Wheel Drive), while H4 stands for High-range 4WD. Low-range 4WD uses a small gear to drive a larger gear, allowing the engine to produce greater torque output. This mode is used when the vehicle requires high torque. High-range 4WD locks the power distribution between the front and rear wheels, with each receiving 50% of the power. This mode is suitable for conditions with low traction or specific terrain requirements. Four-wheel drive refers to a vehicle maintaining all four wheels driving throughout the journey, with the engine's torque distributed to the front and rear wheels at a fixed ratio. This driving mode ensures excellent off-road and handling performance at all times.
