Knowing how to activate your 4×4 range is the first step to adventure. In this post, we’ll guide you through the steps to activate the 4×4 range in your Nissan Frontier, ensuring you’re prepared for any road conditions.
Understanding 4×4 in the Nissan Frontier
The 4×4 drive system in the Nissan Frontier provides enhanced traction and control, making it ideal for off-road driving, muddy conditions, and snowy roads. The Nissan Frontier offers multiple 4×4 modes: 2H for everyday driving, 4H for moderate off-road or slippery conditions, and 4L for extreme off-road challenges.
Step-by-Step Guide to Activating 4×4 Range
Preparation: Ensure your vehicle is at a complete stop and the transmission is in neutral or park before switching to 4L. For 4H, you can switch while driving at a low speed.
Steps to Activate 4H (High Range)
- Ensure the vehicle is moving below 60 km/h.
- Turn the 4×4 selector switch from 2H to 4H.
- A 4×4 indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard, confirming the mode change.
Steps to Activate 4L (Low Range)
- Bring the vehicle to a complete stop.
- Shift the transmission to neutral.
- Turn the 4×4 selector switch from 2H or 4H to 4L.
- A 4×4 indicator light will illuminate on the dashboard, confirming the mode change.
Important: Never shift to 4L while the vehicle is moving. This can cause damage to the drivetrain.
