What does 4HLc mean in a 4WD vehicle?
1 Answers
4HLc stands for High-Speed Four-Wheel Drive with a Central Differential System, which ensures stable driving even on rugged terrain by evenly distributing power to all four wheels. Precautions for driving off-road vehicles: Avoid turning too quickly: Off-road vehicles generally have a higher center of gravity compared to sedans, especially those equipped with larger tires or lift kits to increase ground clearance. As a result, they are more prone to skidding or rolling over when encountering curves or sharp turns, making them unsuitable for fast cornering. Avoid shifting into low-range 4WD while driving: Shifting into low-range 4WD while the vehicle is in motion can cause excessive wear and damage to the transfer case. The correct method is to come to a complete stop before engaging low-range 4WD. Most 4WD vehicles require the clutch or transmission to be shifted into neutral or park when switching to low-range 4WD.
