Descents
Descending; use low range, lowest gear….however, on slippery terrain there’s always a risk of sliding. Did you know, if the vehicle starts to lose traction & slides on a steep decline, gentle acceleration can regain traction & bring the vehicle back under control.
Muddy Ruts
Don’t get stuck in a rut! Avoid, or if not possible then try to straddle the deepest area or infill to lessen the depth of rutted ground, increasing the ground clearance to lessen the risk of contacting underneath or causing damage to the lowest part of the vehicle.
Cross Axles
Loss of traction due to crossed axles, how to avoid them & how to get out of them. Understand what a differential is & why it can be locked on some 4wd’s. There’s no traction control on our vehicles, so think about your route rather than relying on the electronics.
