What mode should be used for Haval H9 when climbing slopes?
2 Answers
Haval H9 uses automatic four-wheel drive mode + manual mode when climbing slopes. The vehicle can lock the gear. At 1st gear and 4000 RPM, you can see an arrow prompt to upshift at around 2000 RPM, but it does not automatically upshift, and there is no situation of upshifting at 3000 RPM as mentioned in the 38 test. More details about Haval H9 are as follows: 1. Introduction one: Among vehicles of the same class, Haval H9's body size data is relatively small because the wheelbase determines the interior space of a vehicle. The wheelbase is the distance between the centers of two tires on the same side. However, this is understandable since this model focuses not on space comfort but on off-road performance. 2. Introduction two: Haval H9 can be equipped with three differential locks. The body structure is a non-load-bearing body, the rear suspension is a solid axle non-independent suspension, and the driving method is all-time four-wheel drive. Moreover, it uses BorgWarner's dual-speed TOD all-time four-wheel drive system, with a maximum wading depth of 700mm, minimum ground clearance of 206mm, approach angle of 28 degrees, and departure angle of 23 degrees.
When driving the Haval H9 uphill, I always switch to its off-road or sand mode. This mode optimizes power distribution and increases low-end torque, making the climb more stable. If the slope is particularly steep, I use the manual transmission in first gear to avoid power interruption caused by gear shift delays. I once tried the eco mode on a mountain road, but the engine response was too slow, and I almost slipped. Switching to sand mode solved the problem. Safety tip: Check tire pressure and the brake system before climbing, and press the accelerator gently when starting to avoid rapid acceleration. Remember, choosing the right mode not only protects the transmission but also reduces fuel consumption and wear, benefiting both the car and your peace of mind. Adjusting modes according to different road conditions is crucial. For example, on muddy slopes, locking the differential is essential to maximize the effectiveness of the four-wheel drive.
