Do I need switches?
Well you don’t if you don’t look forward to those few gains mentioned from start or you tested it and didn’t
like it, or you like it but you think that opening bonnet every time you want to change from FWD to 4x4 or
from 4x4 to FWD isn’t hard.
I’m making this document to all those “lazy” people that like me think it’s too much bother opening bonnet and
getting out of seat, taking out fuse in let say brand new suit and dirtying yours hands and getting back to car.
What is purpose those of switches?
4x4 switch
+ you don't have to stop car, and open bonnet, and take fuse out or put it in, which can be interesting if it starts
to rain and you want to transfer P2 to P4
4x4 reset switch
+ you don't need to turn off ignition and turn it back on, just to turn ON 4x4 computer and electronic, because
once 4x4 yellow light ignite (error detected) 4x4 computer will disengage all 4x4 electronic and won’t try to
engage until you turn off/on car.
How do I operate those switches once I install them?
Best way to disengage 4x4:
1. is to stop car,
2. turn off car ignition
3. switch 4x4 to disengage
4. turn on car ignition
If you are in a hurry you can skip points 2. and 4.
Best way to engage 4x4:
1. is to stop car
2. turn off car ignition (if you have 4x4 reset switch you can leave car running)
3. switch 4x4 to engage
4. turn on car ignition (or just reset 4x4 system by 4x4 reset switch)
It is important that you stop car before engaging/disengaging 4x4 system, but if it is necessary you can
engage/disengage 4x4 system at your own risk while car is moving at nearly constant velocity/speed but it is in
neutral (none of gears) gearshift position.
NEVER:
- engage 4x4 when braking or accelerating fast
- disengage 4x4 when accelerating
