Was in the car biz for 13 years. This is a great tutorial. Jeep it up.

You can also lock the rear diff in 4 high. You need to have the vehicle in 4H, press the traction control button once and then hold for 5 seconds to disengage stabilitrac, hit off road+ and then it will allow you to lock rear! I know its a bit of a process but sometimes you need 4H and rear lockers on. Hope this helps

What does traction control do and when it switches off in 4LO how does this affect the mobility of the vehicle?

@evorm7329

@@vikasverma7667 traction control prevents wheels from spinning freely, so keeps you from slipping, drifting, or damaging your tires and gives you more traction which gives your wheels more control on the road. however sometimes (especially when you go off road) your wheels will naturally spin unevenly at least a little depending on the surface you drive on and the shape of the path youre on. youll want your car to be able to slip a little to let the wheels grab as much as they can in low traction conditions, which can make the traction control on a car get confused and think youre drifting or unsafe. on places with high traction like roads, leave it on if you dont know the physics of your car and itll give you more control. on places with low traction conditions and less sticky wheels on paths keep it off cause itll get in the way.

Best tutorial in KZread so far! Great video, Thank you!!!

Appreciate the explanation on controls. Good video!

Such a beautiful Jeep

Such a helpful video. Thank you

Very helpful! Thanks for the video!

Great information thanks, i just bought a 2021 Rubi.

This video only explains how to engage the features. 4x4 newbies, like me, need an explanation of why and when to use the features.

Always engage 4 wheel drive before you “need it” 4high is for higher speeds when driving in mud or snow or on trails where you may experience mild obstacles like small rocks or steep inclines but when you want to drive around 15-30 mph 4low for when you’re going into thick mud or snow or when your going up a very very steep incline off road or when you have larger obstacles to crawl over. But don’t wait until you’re stuck to engage it. Asses the situation and choose the appropriate 4wheel drive selections prior to getting in the thick of it. Hope that helps.

Great simple and very informative

That was clear, detailed, and very helpful. Thank you very much for posting this!

Great video I didn’t know how to use any of that. Got my first Jeep.

Helpful thank you!

Thanks very good!!

Ty for this Instructional teaching 👍🏼✅

I love the Jeep Wrangler

Thank you a lot

I was offroading and i was on 4lo and got my sway bar disconnected with front and rear lockers on suddenly the car turned off and couldn’t start the engine until 10mins later after that i got myself out np and i still dont know why it shutdown if there any1 can help me here

I have a 2020 Rubicon, but I don't have the offroad page on the main screen. I only have it on the gauge cluster.

Thanks

Hi Joulian, thank you for making this excellent video; I have never owned a 4x4 but decided to get one yesterday. I am so afraid of doing things wrong. So when I try to put the stick down from 2H to 4H, it's really stiff and I am afraid i may break something. Do i just pull it down hard or do I need to press any additional button? I tried it both in Drive and Park but the stick is pretty stiff and didn't want to budge much (I could probably pull harder but I figure I'll ask you first).

Pull it a little harder and itll slide down into 4h! The first time engaging is always the hardest. Dont worry about breaking it, the only time the transmission needs to be in neutral is if you're trying to go down to 4lo

Going into 4 hi you should be travelling under 55 miles per hour. The scary sounds are actually normal. Which may seem odd but its true.

My rear axle light is blinking and I have no idea how to turn it off. Its no "!" next to the icon. And I just got it 2 months ago and I dont want to pay $150 for them to just show me how to turn it off. Anyone know how to fix this?

Beginner question: can these Jeeps also electronically, automatically brake slipping wheels or the user has to manually do everything and lock the differentials when needed?

on offroad plus with the 2021 and newer wranglers i think that mode makes rear lockers automatically engage

Great video but newbies like me need a bit more info For every day driving should sway bar be connected or disconnected! Not sure how but my dash board says off-road and sway bar connected. Not sure how that happened. How do I go to on road mode from off road. Again not sure how it got there. I don’t go off-roading. Also when o click my off road pages it doesn’t find or display them Thanks.

Thank you so much for doing this ,the video was really helpful to me today ,I have a 2019 Rubicon JL,I am newbie 🙈, I was having a difficult time changing to 4H,4L ....For the Snow Climate..let me know if you are on IG

Sooo do you want ur axles locked when ur on 4 wheel drive. When do you and lock the differentials and when do you simply just wanna be in 4 wheel drive

@gs-nt6nf

2 жыл бұрын

Lockers help on uneven terrain. For example when only one front or rear wheel has traction. In that situation the sway bar disconnect also helps. If tractors good then you don’t need lockers on. More maneuverable without lockers. Remember the differential transmission sends power to the wheel without traction. Lockers take the differential transmission offline so you get the traction going to all the wheels and the wheel that has traction to get you over the uneven terrain. I am not an expert though. Jeep has a good video or two that shows how lockers work and when needed. The caveat is remember that caution needed when using lockers because all that power going to one wheel could stress it out and break something if you hit the gas too hard.

Are the off-road gauges available only on the 8.4 inch display, or are they available on the 7 inch?

So you mentioned how the swaybar disconnect sometimes wont engage, then demonstrated it not engaging fully, then cancelled it. How do you get it to engage properly?

@jouliangomez2816

It wont fully engage if the front two axles arent on even, level ground. Otherwise it will always engage. If its flashing one way to push it along is to inch forward in drive before it fully engages to try and get the wheels to be level

What years are these features included in?

no. atrac uses controlled braking as a supplement for lack of lockers. atrac is more of a computerized approach while lockers like the jeeps are mechanical

You try to give the video more brightness it will be great if you do

My ‘97 Isuzu Trooper had a more advanced, easier to use 4WD system, but I chose to get rid of it and buy 2 Wranglers.

So what I find out is ... new Rubicon hase 3 differential, central, rear and front. Am I right ?

A St Paddy Rubi

I thought that all rubicons come with red dashes

Why don’t you show us how to take everything back off? 🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️🤦🏻‍♂️ mine are stuck

Lol.. M mode is for mud.. at a stop in mud in 4L use 4th gear for 1-2 is for rock crawling you cant clean the tires.. DRIVING IN MUD IN D will get you stuck as its so simple.. D is Auto.. The Roc Trac Not Mud Trac Will seek Traction and halt in D In Deep Mud and will automatically adjust slowing you down to almost a halt getting you stuck.. Use M in Mud 4 L..4th gear and go. Enjoy

4wdH in all wranglers and gladiators is shift-on-the-fly. Meaning you can shift back and forth between 2wd and 4wdH without any damage to the transfer case. You need to be in neutral to shift to 4wdL. Please get the facts right before confusing people 😊
