Tight Cornering
Cornering a curve in 4WD mode (4L or 4H) may shake up the ve-
hicle or cause skidding. Such phenomena indicate that the four-
wheel drive is operated normally, because they can be caused by
the resistance of the internal power system according to the differ-
ence of rotation between the front and rear wheels. Please avoid
excessive and tight cornering in four-wheel drive mode to prevent
the power train from being damaged.
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 ve-
hicle 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 vehicle and
depress the brake pedal before any shift.
• If the "4WD CHECK" warning light stays on, have the 4WD system 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.
• This helps to make the mode changes easily.
• In case of TOD, cornering a curve in 4L mode may cause shock. It is oper-
ated normally, because it is caused by non-allowable speed difference
between front and rear wheels to achieve maximum traction in 4L mode.
