I'm sure when I tried hill decent control on mine it didn't work in 2H. I meant to look in the manual to see if that is supposed to be the case.

Your the kind of old man i wish I had. Strong, interesting, decisive and no nonsense. Lucky lad. All the best and thanks for your series of videos. Andy. EDIT: Your the only video i have seen, which shows the transition into 4wd and 4wd Low whilst on the move. I like the whine in 4 low, it reminds me of the humvee military spec drive train. Just the noise though, as Humvee's are tosh. Again, nice1 to you both.

You are a lifesaver. Hired a Jimny to drive around Iceland and watched your video to understand the hill control. Absolute 10/10 from me -Thank you so much! Especially the 4L was incredibly helpful driving up and down icy decents!

Thank you so much for this video! I just bought my 2020 Jimny and have no experience with the 4wd stick and hill decent. Massive help, cheers!

Thank you KZfaq Dad :) Your video was great, no complicated jargon

I use 4wd pretty regularly in mine.. Low range I use whenever conditions are tougher and I'm at slow speeds, I'm in Australia so there's a lot more opportunity for me to use it here with our tougher terrain, I reckon I use 4wd about 5 or more times a week, You really notice a huge difference from 2H To 4H On steep gravel roads, especially in the wet or even light muddy hills. Usually as a rule of thumb start with 4H And work your way to 4L Depending on if you feel the terrain requires more torque and grip, Should never really go straight from 2H to Low range unless you need to keep momentum or unless you're certain you'll need to switch anyway.

thank you for this video. Very clear and easy to follow!

Cool Video. I was wondering why 4WD vehicles have 2 gear sticks as I've never owned a 4WD. It's good to learn and your video goes straight to the point.

Great video, well explained! Thanks for taking the time to make it and sharing..

Thanks for this video. I bought a brand new jimny for the wife in 0ct 23. She used to have a Samurai back in 2000 and she drove it til the wheels fell off. The bloody road tax is a killer though being a commercial. We've yet to take it off road and the nearest to a field we'll get is the car boot sale. I dont regret buying it because she keeps wrecking our Karoq by hitting potholes..but ive never paid so much money for something so noisy,clunky sounding and basic..but i still love it. Luckily we're blessed where we live yo have countryside like in the video so we'll be taking it out this weekend to give it a go. 👍

Super helpful video thanks guys!

This was very helpful. 😎

this is what I'm searching for . thanx

very helpful, tnx !

I got a Suzuki samurai - I should use 2h for day to day driving and 4h when I want 4wd and 4l when I really need it

On 3:00 4L was not necessary, 4L is for driving through mud,deep snow or driving up rocks where you need more torque and more control of you vehicle

I want one!

Really good informative video 🙂

The Jimny is like a big motorcycle, just got mine a few days back - 5 door version .

I’m having a big noise, like metal against metal, like punch no scratch, when using 4lo in my jimny, only when I’m in a climb and taking out the clutch, any suggestion ?

Hi mate, thanks for the video. I’ve got my jimny recently and currently drive only in a city. However, in upcoming month I’m planning to go to skiing with Jimny. And almost 30 km of the road is asphalt with some ice build ups. I have BFG KO2 tyers but sometimes slips when it is wet on the road with 2WD. So that the wise move would be to put it in 4wd the whole 30 km journey. Does it affect on the gearbox life? Thanks in advance😊

That is exactly what I was looking for . I leave in Morocco and I Wonderbox if you have tyre pressure advices on Sand ? Thanks a lot

Is clitch in necessary to go frim 2h to 4h and vice versa? Thanks in advance. Nothing is said about it in the user manual

Whats happens if you use descent control without 4 wheel traction on asphalt?

For AT, do i keep it on 'D' while on hill descent control?

I have a question and I can't find an answer on it. In 2H I can drive normally like every car. But in 4H everybody says I should not drive curves, just straight ahead. What does this mean? When im stuck turn on the 4H drive a few meters just straight ahead and then turn again to 2H? I dont get this point. How and when to use the 4H or 4L, I mean if i can not drive curves in 4H there is not much use of it, in forests and offroad you have to steer the whole time left and right, you cant ride through trees and rocks straight ahead. Can someone explain this to me? Sry about my bad english, hope everybody understood me.

Bit of a belated comment but I hope you see it: mate, I'm very curious how the clutch lets out at 2H, 4H and 4L? I've heard a lot of reports of people having to torture the clutch to avoid stalling when engaging the AllGrip TC system, but in 4L the clutch should basically be impossible to stall -- in theory. How is it?

so what's the difference between 4H and 4L -- when do you use each of them? Thanks!

Sir can we change the gear to third or forth if we are using the 4H and can we change the gear from 1st to 2nd gear when using 4L?

It's a usefull one. By the way can we change to 4H while driving 2H whitout stop vehicle? Is it safe? Thank u ^_^

Between manual and Auto which one do you recommend to buy in Jimny. 60% urban 40% himalayan hill drive?

Wats the max speed allowed under 4H or 4L?

Can hill descent control be used in reverse gear?

How does it compare to the defender?

So... still .. it’s a 2wd for most people in most day on most road

Off road?..its more side road!!😁
