CAUTIONS WHEN USING 4-WHEEL
DRIVE MODE
• There could be mechanical noises and shocks during mode
changes. However, these are normal conditions due to the mode
changing operations.
• Use only the 2H mode on a normal paved surface. Do not drive
your vehicle in the "4H" or "4L" position on paved road surfaces.
Doing so will result in damages to the drive train.
• Driving in a 4 wheel mode on a normal paved surface will cause
unwanted noises, premature wear of tires, or increased fuel
consumption.
• To shift from "4L" into another mode or vice versa, stop the ve-
hicle and depress the brake pedal before any shift.
• If the "4WD CHECK" warning light stays on, have the 4WD sys-
tem checked by the nearest Ssangyong Dealer or Ssangyong
Authorized Service Center.
• When cornering a curved road in a 4-wheel drive mode (4L or
4H), there could be some mechanical shocks and resistances in
vehicle's drive train. These are normal conditions due to internal
resistance in the drive train when the 4-wheel drive mode is
properly working. To avoid damages to the drive train, do not
drive your vehicle at an excessively high speed on a sharply
curved road.
• When shifting from "4L" to "4H" in an vehicle equipped with au-
tomatic transmission, move the gear selector lever from "N" to
"R" position after pushing the 4WD switch, and then move it to
the "N" position again. This helps to make the mode changes
easily.
