Re: Newbie Questions Re: Auto 4x4
To sum up & answer your questions a little:
When going down a steep hill, as you've already noted, it's definitely best to be in 4L and L on the trans. This will enable you to crawl down and not lose traction or go to fast.
For relatively easy uphills, there is nothing wrong with keeping it in 4H and D, as long as you're comfortable. If the hill is steeper and/or loose, you'll want drop back into 4L and chose your transmission gear accordingly, again to ensure you don't lose traction.
Of course, you'll never go wrong with it in 4L and taking it easy, but for most easy to moderate trails, 4L shouldn't be required all the time.
Hope this helps!
