Driving a car
4WD vehicles have a huge advantage over 2WD vehicles on sandy, swampy, mountainous and slippery roads. The accelerator pedal, steering wheel, and brake pedal are controlled in the same way as in conventional vehicles.
4WD models are not designed for off-road driving or rally racing.
When driving, follow these guidelines:
- Avoid driving for long periods on sandy, swampy or other roads where the wheels may slip.
- Avoid driving on water.
- The braking distance of 4WD models is the same as that of 2WD models, so keep a safe distance on slippery roads.
Note: If the oil in the system overheats as a result of prolonged wheel spin in 4WD mode, the vehicle may switch to 2WD mode for protection. After a while, the oil will cool down and the 4WD mode will be switched back.
Servicing 4WD models
Attention:
- The vehicle must be fitted with wheels with unworn tyres of the same size, type and tread pattern, otherwise the transmission will be adversely affected.
- Never tow a vehicle with only the front or rear wheels raised. Otherwise, the gearbox may be seriously damaged.
