Hi all,, i am new here and i am not sure if i will get my answer on that...
I just have purchase a used Rexton 2005 and i had several problems until fix them one by one,,, but the main question is:
How i will include my 4H ???
i can do the 4L run, but i am not sure about the 4H button.. please help me.
I push the button and nothing happens,,, is this normal? i mean no indicator light flash and i am not sure if the car goes on 4 wheels...in 4L the light is on, and the car goes for sure on 4 wheels.
Do i have a transmition problem?
Thank you in advance with the help!
Have a nice day all.
Hi again Theo,
your model is a permanent all wheel drive, same as mine.
We cannot disengage the AWD, we can only switch to a lower gear ratio, which is 4L --> "low" for heavy terrain or steep slopes. Pressing the 4H switches back to "normal" 4 wheel drive.
If you want to check, if your low gear engages correctly, stop your car, put it "N" and then push the 4L button. After 2 seconds, you should hear the gear engaging with a "clack" and the 4L light should be illuminating in your panel.
If you start driving in 4L, you notice right away that you car is in low gear, the revs will be going much higher at lower speed. Max speed is somewhere around 60km/h. Be careful driving in this mode on normal road, don't do unnecessary sharp turns or accelerations. It will stress your gear / axles unnecessary, or can even cause damage. No problem in sand or gravel though, because the wheels can slip instead of putting all the torque on your mechanical parts.
You can switch back to normal gear, just press 4H (same procedure as mentioned above). Again you should hear a "clack", the light goes off, and the car should be in high all wheel gear again.
The part time 4WD models can select 2WD mode or 4WD mode, but now lower gear available ( if I am not wrong).
How much did you pay for your car in Bulgaria ? Would be interesting to compare.
Guess it might be imported from Russia.
Cheers,
