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

@@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.

That's exactly what I'm looking for haha

Why you buy a rubicon then lmfao

@dj with that mentality, no one would buy one. We were all new off-roaders at one time or another.

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.

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

I have a 2020 Gliadiator automatic, ur dash looked the same as mine though

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.

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.

They are only available on the 8.4 inch touch screen

i can access the same info in my cluster. i dont have the 8.4 screen, so thats the only way i get the same info

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

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

Did you try to update? Dealer probably could help with that.

@@TH3_DON_M3G4 I took it to the dealership but they were no help they just said that I had to waite to see if a update would pop up :/ and when I got online and check to see if it was up to date it said I was sigh. I know it's not a must have but would still be nice to have it especially with the price of these new Rubicons.

I had same problem, the local dealer didnt have a clue. Jeep Wave support made mine work by pushing an update my jeep, call them at 8445337928

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 😊

You definitely don’t know what your talking about

yeah i tried going into 4l while in drive and, well the gears grinded for about 1 second rip. now i know to go into N before going into 4l lol
