D Do o’’ss::
• While shifting between 2H-4H-2H, it is a good practice to stop
the vehicle and then shift the transfer case lever
• While shifting from 4H to N and N to 4H, Shifter knob should be
pressed down in order to avoid damage to the shift system
• Learn to use the power band.
• 4-Low (4L) is recommended for soft and boggy conditions, while
4-High (4H) may be used in places where speed may be
required. For example – Sand
• Always use 4L to descent steep slopes to take maximum
advantage of engine braking
While ascending or descending hills, always be parallel to the slope
to ensure maximum stability of the vehicle
D Do on n’’ttss::
Avoid taking the engine to the redline (maximum rpm). It’s not only
inefficient but it also means you’re not getting the maximum power
from the engine
Never half-clutch in off-road. Make it a practice to use it only to
change gears. This will prolong clutch life and is also safer in off-
road situations as you can utilize maximum engine braking
Do not drive with 4WD engaged (4H, 4L) on the tarmac road to
avoid damage to the gearbox. Vehicle is having a part-time 4WD
and is not meant to be driven in 4WD on the tarmac road
Do not press the clutch while descending steep hills as you may
lose control of the vehicle. Always descend in-gear
Do not drive with 4WD on hard surfaced roads. This may lead to
difficulty in shifting from 4WD. Incase need to release 4WD, drive
the vehicle in reverse direction to some distance.
