|
|
I see there are quite a few people who are still puzzled about how to use their 4WD properly – Most important, especially in a Pajero !
Generally, the 4WD in a Pajero is one of 2 Types of system, either Part-Time 4WD or Super-Select 4WD (SS4)
--------------------
Pajero Mark-1
(Part-Time 4WD)
Let’s start with Part-Time 4WD
Part-Time 4WD is used on all MK1’s and some Mk2’s. Part Time 4WD should not be engage into 4WD when driving on a high-grip surface, such as tarmac or concrete, and should NOT be locked into 4L when towing on that type of surface!
--------------------
Transfer-Lever Position
2H=High Range 2 Wheel Drive
4H=High Range 4 Wheel Drive
N=Neutral
4L=Low Range 4 Wheel Drive
--------------------
Description
2H should be used when driving on normal roads when not towing.
4H should be used when increased driving power is needed, such as driving in snow. When using 4H, you may experience increased difficulty when turning and the steering might feel heavier than in 2H.
N is Neutral. This is used to drive a mechanical winch by engine power. The vehicle cannot be driven when the transfer lever in this position!
4L should be used when 4H isn't enough to produce the required traction and torque. This should be use when driving in off-road conditions, such as driving in mud, and to free the vehicle when it’s stuck! The driving power is greatest when the transfer-lever is in this position!
--------------------
WARNING
- Do NOT corner too fast nor too tightly when using the 4H, otherwise transmission wind-up may occur!
- Do NOT exceed 100 Km/h when in 4H mode and 60 Km/h when in 4L mode, otherwise serious damage to the transfer case may result!
- Do NOT push the transfer-lever too aggressively or the Transmission in Gear!
- DO stop the vehicle before shifting into 4L. You CAN shift into and out of 4H without stopping.
--------------------
Pajero Mark-2 or Later
(Super-Select)
The SS4 was a groundbreaking achievement for Mitsubishi, incorporating a centre-differential that can be locked for any off-roading, eliminating the tight turning that part-time 4WD might cause.
--------------------
Transfer-Lever Position
2H=High Range 2 Wheel Drive
4H=High Range 4 Wheel Drive
4Hlc=High Range 4WD With Locked Center Differential
4Llc=Low Range 4WD With Locked Centre Diffrential
--------------------
Description
2H should be used for normal day-to-day driving, around the city (say) to ensure quiet driving, preventing undue wear in the front tyres and to keep the MPG Down!
4H should be used when an increase in driving power is required, such as towing or driving in Snow.
4Hlc should be used when driving in off-road conditions as the traction will be improved over just 4H.
4Llc should be used when maximum traction is needed. It should be used when driving in mud or to free the vehicle from being stuck!
--------------------
WARNING
- Do NOT exceed 100Km/h when Shifting from 2H To 4H
- DO stop the vehicle when shifting from 4H To 4Hlc
- Do NOT drive on tarmac or other high traction surface when the transfer-lever is in 4Hlc or 4Llc
--------------------
Advice for Caring Your 4WD System
- Remember to drive in 4H for 10 minutes each week to ensure the oil is well distributed around the transfer-case and the front differential!
- Check the differential oil after each time crossing water, streams, rivers or mud to ensure there is no milky coloured oil in your differential. If there is milky coloured oil in your diff. then it has water ingree and you should change the oil IMMEDIATLY!
- Every 3 months, give the each universal joint a squirt of fresh new grease!
- Thoroughly clean the underbody, chassis area and engine bay every time after you’ve been off-roading!
--------------------
I hope this will help those of you who are new to the WONDERFUL WORLD OF PAJERO |

What i mean is when driving in 4H,don't exceed 100Km/h as the 4WD system of Pajero are not designed for such high speed
You can shift in or out of 4H when the vehicle are moving,as the rule you need to keep the clutch pedal depress or put the automatic lever in Neutral then you can shift from 2H to 4H or vice versa
But this rule are not added to 4L as the gear ratio are very different,but you can shift from 4L to 4H without stopping |

Maybe you are right ,the Pajero mk1 are a car that some impossible thing could happen on it,so it just won the Paris Dakar Rally on the 80's and 90's
If you one couldn't,why my one is can,but if you put it straight to the 4L whlist moving,you could hear a terribble gear grinding noise,the metal sticker says it can be shift in or out of 4H without the need to stop the vehicle,BUT this should be made at low speed only like some 20-40Km/h |

Are you serious Irenerich?Never put into 4H or 4WD for six year tou drive the mk1?thats could be bad for your system as the driveline for the front wheel has been stopped for a longtime plus no lubrication are circulating around the diff it could became stick or jammed,you should put in 4WD once every week to get it run smooth |

My parents had my mk1 for 8 years before they let me share use/ownership & expenses... in that period it was probably put in to 4WD about 5 times...
Thankfully it was alright (besides the auto locking hubs being nackered!)... since sharing use it is now put in 4WD at least once a week and usually for more than 10 mins |
