How to use 4wd feature on 2000 Explorer - EB
Hi all. My manual was stolen out of my car a while back and I haven't
replaced it yet. I will be driving in some possibly heavy snow this weekend and was wondering how to use the 4wd feature. Is it as simple as just "turning it on"? Does the car need to be in motion, park, etc when turning it on? Thanks so much! Theresa |

By the way, it really IS as easy as turning the dashboard switch to "4X4" but you really need to read the relevant section in the drivers handbook if you are not familiar with 4 wheel drive vehicles. DO NOT, in any circumstances drive more than a few yards in "4X4" mode on a hard, dry surface where there is lots of grip e.g. a dry (or even slightly damp) road - you could seriously damage the transmission. Don't let this scare you, it's just something you need to know and it applies to ANY 4X4 vehicle, not just the Ex. Hope this helps, Simon H (In the UK) |

How to use 4wd feature on 2000 Explorer - EB
I have found on mine that I need to put Jeep into neutral, engage the 4X4
Low box and then put the jeep into reverse before it engages. Good luck with it.

One shouldn't engage 4WD above 55 mph.... Come to think of it, if one needs
4WD, one shouldn't be going that fast. anyway..... "Theresa" > wrote in message oups.com... > Thanks so much to all of you! This helps a ton. > > Theresa > |
