At DCH Subaru of Riverside, we want you to be an informed SUV or truck owner. Are you educated on the appropriate time to use 4H or 4L? Let us fill you in to eliminate any confusion you may have.
When you are in a high-speed low traction situation you are going to want to stop the vehicle and shift into 4H or four high. A good rule is to not exceed speeds of 55 mph when in this gear.
When you find yourself in extreme offroad conditions like driving over big rocks, or maybe you are driving in deep snow and need some serious torque; this is the time to be in 4L or four low. The recommended top speed for being in this gear is 35 mph, and following this recommendation will help you avoid future drivetrain problems. If you have any other questions give us a visit in Riverside, CA.
