The difference between 4H and 4L lies in their modes: 4H is the four-wheel drive mode; 4L is the low-range four-wheel drive mode. 4H is suitable for everyday road driving and can be used in rainy, snowy, or slippery conditions, as four-wheel drive provides better traction and stability. When switching to 4L (low-range four-wheel drive mode), the torque is amplified, giving the vehicle greater torque than usual. This mode is useful when driving through complex off-road sections or when the vehicle needs to be extricated from difficult situations. However, avoid using low-range four-wheel drive on slippery surfaces like rain or snow, as excessive torque can cause the vehicle to skid and lose control.

What is the four-wheel drive distribution of the BMW X5?

The four-wheel drive distribution of the BMW X5 is the core technology of the XDrive all-wheel drive system, which features a transfer case developed by Magna Steyr in Austria to continuously adjust torque distribution. The XDrive system dynamically changes torque distribution based on road conditions, delivering the required torque to the front and rear wheels, with a maximum distribution ratio of 40:60. Driving Process: The new X5 has a highly rigid body, and all doors can be opened. During driving, if the system detects potential understeer—where the front wheels begin to drift outward from the curve—it reduces torque to the front axle and directs almost all power to the rear axle. System Principle: The system also continuously exchanges information with the Dynamic Stability Control (DSC) to detect wheel slip from the outset. If slip occurs in the front or rear drive wheels, the computer processes signals from vehicle speed and steering angle sensors, sending commands to the center differential motor. The motor then drives a mechanism similar to a "figure-eight gear" to rotate, which in turn adjusts the opening and closing of the figure-eight arms. If the arms open to their maximum, the center differential effectively locks, distributing torque equally at 50% front and rear. If the rear drive wheels lose traction, all torque is transferred to the front drive wheels with grip. If the arms close, 100% of the power is transmitted to the rear driveshaft. This entire process completes within 0.1 seconds, imperceptible to the driver.

What is the function of the buttons on the back of the Volkswagen Tiguan L steering wheel?

The two buttons on the back of the Volkswagen Tiguan L steering wheel are paddle shifters, which can be used to shift gears up or down. The function of paddle shifters: As a quick shifting device, they greatly enhance driving operability. Paddle shifters are usually located behind the steering wheel. When operating them, the driver typically only needs to push the gear lever into D, S, or manual mode. Using paddle shifters, the driver can complete gear shifts without taking their hands off the steering wheel. There are two types of paddle shifters: Fixed paddle shifters remain relatively stationary to the dashboard, meaning during steering, the steering wheel turns while the paddle shifters stay in place. Follow-up paddle shifters remain relatively stationary to the steering wheel, meaning during steering, the paddle shifters rotate along with the steering wheel as a whole.
