Wheel Drive Operation - SSANGYONG REXTON Owner's Manual

4-WHEEL DRIVE OPERATION

↔ ↔ '4H' (Part-time only) ↔ ↔
'2H' ↔
Depending on the road conditions, select the
4WD switch to '4H' by pushing before driv-
ing off or during driving. Shifting is possible
while driving at the speed of 70km/h or less.
The 4WD HIGH ('4H') indicator light may
come on.
When 4WD is in no longer needed, select
the 4WD switch from '4H' to '2H'. This will
avoid unnecessary heavy steering, tyre
wear and fuel consumption.
NOTE
Perform this operation when driving
straight.
Shifts between high-speed modes
(2H ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ ↔ 4H) do not require clutch op-
eration and available while the ve-
hicle speed is less than 70Km/h, how-
ever recommend you to shift when
the vehicle speed is low.
'2H' or '4H' ↔ ↔ ↔ '4L' ↔ ↔
To shift from '2H' or '4H' to '4L', the vehicle
should be stopped.
Depressing the clutch pedal (with manual
transmission) or moving the selector lever
to 'N' position (with automatic transmission),
select the 4WD switch to '4L' by pushing it.
The 4WD LOW ('4L') indicator light may come
on.
When '4L' operation is no longer needed,
select the 4WD switch from '4L' to '2H' or
'4H'. To shift from '4L' to '2H' or '4H', stop
the vehicle and depress the clutch pedal (on
manual transmission) or move the selector
lever to 'N' position (on automatic transmis-
sion) and select the 4WD switch to '2H' or
'4H'.
