I see a lot of people use the 4llc for desert and I mean by that they stay on 4llc all the time that they are in sand. Is it safe for the car to stay on 4llc or will it damage the car??
Hi Ibrahim Our driving is mostly just the sand and most seniors in our pajero group drive 4llc. Our driving style is different then rock crawling and we need maximum response when navigating switches. I have been driving 4llc for 13 years hard as you can see from my other videos and no issues on my car
Clear cut explanation. No time wasting. Was helpful. I just got my Pajero 3.5 3 door. I'm new into this off roading. Could you take me along with you so that I get to know more.
I own twenty years several 3.2 did pajero's and most always driven in 4H, special when towing my mobile tiny house.The factory advice is when towing always in 4H.
had my shogun a few year now and not gonna lie ive never even used the 4wheel drive on it because i dont have a clue what they do so i learned something today
Top notch video. Short, fast and to the point. Thanks tons. (One of those videos where the guy doesn't talk about his dog and the fish he caught last week).
Great video. Just bought a Pajero and was wondering how best to use the system (other than looking at the lengthy description in the manual) and this explanation was simple and very helpful
Translation from Mitsubishi language to standard 4x4 language: 2H=RWD only 4H=AWD (every SUV/CUV mode) 4HLc=4H (every 4x4 with regular transfer case, without central diff. i.e. Jeep Wrangler, 4Runner, trucks) 4LLc=4Low (see above).
Thank you I love my Pajero. Great explanation 👌👌 4HLc is enough for almost 95% off-road conditions. Though I do a lot of Off roading ,rarely I needed the 4LLc. Such a great car❤️❤️
It happened to me.. I was wondering why there was no quick response from the throttle to tires.. In fact sand was soft so I could get out of tricky situation.. Great advise From now I am gonna do 4hlc on dunes..
Clear and knowlegable. I would like to add a case where its good to use 4H. When u r traveling with full seats of large oeople and have heavy leggages in the back and u feel the car not in its usual power of driving and shifting the gears. Then try 4H u will feel anazing and how string this car
This is what I have in my l400 delica can not wait to try it out as did not understand it but you have explained it nice and simple how to work it properly thanks for that
Very nice video. 👌🏿 I've owned the Pajero 1, two Pajero 2's both 3.0L V6 Petrol and now the 3 GLS 3.0L V6 (2006 V73w which I reckon is the best of the lot). Greetings from Uganda 🇺🇬👊🏿🖤
@@SandTrack yes. The Pajero 1 and two Pajero 2's. I've been driven several times in the Pajero 4 by the distributors here, even they keep saying that if I'm ready to sell my Pajero gen 3 GLS, they'll buy it 😎
Great video. I am thinking about buying a Pajero Signature Ed. next year, and I did a test drive in the city days ago. Really enjoyed the car and this video was very useful, because I am planning to use the car in the desert a bit on the weekends.
Go for it! its a great car, the only problem with Singature edition is it doesnt have clesarance due to the low bumpers. You may need to have them replaced
@@SandTrack thanks for this info. I am planning more use in roads, with just 1x / 2x monthly on the desert. Should I change the bumpers (if so, do you know how much is the price in general), or should I go for the 2nd best option of Pajero, the GLS Full option?
@@GustavodeMatos if you plan to offroad make sure to get the 3.8L engine. As for the bumpers you can find them in the scrap yard for cheap. However I am not sure on the costs
@@SandTrack the one I am planning to buy is really the 3.8, not the lower one. I will see regarding the bumpers. But, If i do not find a good deal for the Signature Edition, I will go for the second best option - the 3.8 GLS Highline. Is a very good one also.
Thanks. I had a 3rd generation Pajero and had no idea how to use the super select. I'm planning to get a 4th generation and do some serious offroading...Thanks!
Hello great to hear from you. Most likely yes it will work but best to add an intercooler due to summer heat. Did you do your project keen to know more
Hi,i own a montero but it dsnt have the RD lock button as its showing in urs..may be they dnt offer that here in my country..but would like to understand the difference between 4LLC and the Real differential...will it make a huge difference in terms of capability ?
Thanks for the info, i always use 4H in the desert after watching this i tried 4HLc but after a while and after getting stuck in the sand the gear temperature alarm came on.
Hello when stuck in the sand its normal for the gear temp to go up as there is little air circulation. Pajero gear is very hard to over heat. I recommend to flush your transmission oil and change the filter as a first step.
vraiment merci pour cette vidéo , moi le problème que J'ai dans mon pajero est que lorsque je suis planté dans le sable la seule roue arrière droite qui tourne seul
My experience with fuel economy is that there is no difference between 2H and 4H. When you engage 4 H the front wheel hub locks engage. In 2H they still use the same energy to spin the front wheels via the pushing effect of the engaged rear wheels.
Yep, not much difference in real world driving in terms of fuel usage between 2H and 4H. 4H is effectively AWD. In 2H, the front tail shaft is disconnected at the transfer case and the RHS output at the diff. Both front driveshafts still spin with the wheels and the LHS drives the diff.
@@vladguan Hi thanks for the feedback. I am still under the impression that all the transmission elements still spin in 2wd and 4wd on a Paj superselect transmission. The only difference is the front hubs are locked or not. My local tyre guy has a new Hilux and said they had the same system for engaging 4wd
@@babagandu you still can however it can be dangerous when you’re driving all 4 wheels at the same time. I think because the differential lock on may not stop a tyre from moving when it is needed which may make the forces on the car uneven which could cause some type of accident.
I have a Pajero and l think the 2H, and 4H is excellent with the 33/67 spit and quite polished traction control. The biggest downfall and often complained about is the inability the operate in 4L with the centre diff unlocked. This makes it difficult to turn with axel windup where high torque is required on reasonable good traction surfaces. ie retrieving a boat or reversing a trailer, particularly with the manual transmission where clutch preservation is desirable. Should be 2H, 4H and 4L with a separate diff lockup button. (Personal opinion). Why is reverse gear such a high ratio anyway, who backs up a such speed?
Thank you for this kind of video brother! I own a third generation 2001 Montero. Just too bad they stopped importing these gem tanks in the US. Cheers and happy holidays!
Good explanation bro. I have 2003 Pajero 3.0 Arab version. How about rpm on 3.0 engine? I saw car rpm on riding sand very high. Which high rpm is normal -is not risky for this engine on offroad? If you know please share.
Hello on the Pajer Gen 4 you can switch between 2H , 4H and 4Hllc as per the car manual at speed amless than 100 kph. Only 4llc require the car to stop and benin Neutral. This is the power of the super select system on the Mitsuibishi
@Mathew Hangaika R/D lock is rear diff lock, optional feature, you might or might not have it. I f you engage it , you will have equal power going to both rear wheels, usually when you don’t engage R/D lock especially when traction control is off, the wheel which has less traction spins freely and the wheel that touch the ground does not spin.
Excellent video - simple & clear! I have a 2018 NX & have only just realised by reading the card above the visor & in your video that when switching from 4HLc to 4LLc & back - the gear lever should be in N. What happens if you do it with the vehicle stopped but in D or P? I have done little 4W driving but may have done this a couple of times not realising it should be in N - could this have caused damage? Appreciate your thoughts. Regards. Laurence 😃
What is the role of rear differential lock button.. i am new to sand driving and when i put my monetro on 4hlc it was taking too much acceleration to move .. but when i put the RD lock off then it was very smooth drive..is it safe to turn it off for long desert driving?
The rear diff button is used when the car is stuck to help in recovery. When turned on it begins to drive both rear wheels evenly and locked together. This allows not only the wheel without traction to continue to spin in the hope of gaining traction, but more importantly, begins to drive the well-grounded wheel that still has traction to spin and move the car.
Excellent vid and well explained, right to the point. I drive uphill and used 4H, thought this is softer to the gear, but half an hour and gear temp illuminate. Stopped to let cool and drive back downhill. Wondering why it is overheated, should I use 4HLc to lock it mechanically and reduce the use of oil? I will change the filter and gear oil next month.
Hi I have a mitsubishi pajero 2011 model and I would like to ask whether can I activate the automatic looking system and how to do it I want when I'm driving to automatically look the doors so does it have this feature.
Very good explanation, thank you! I am considering between a Hilux and L200/Triton. I am more inclined towards Mitsubishi due to full time 4WD useable on roads. I have a couple supplemental questions, perhaps you would be able to advise me. 1 - I was not able to find technical data of force distribution range in 4H - 33/67 is default, but can it really go only to 50/50 or even more (such as 10/90 or 90/10) - I have read somewhere that this is possible. 2 - As the VCU uses a liqid that solidifies in high temperatures, is it a problem if there is 35 degrees plus and the group is up to 50 - can it start influencing the liquid? And what about extreme cold, 30 below zero - is the liquid and functionality affected? 3 - Also, can you use the 4h lock on very splippery roads, like in severe storms when the road has large pools of water, or when severe snow conditions?
Hello thank you for the messages. My understanding is the 4H defaults at 33.67 and moves all the way to 50.50. Not aware if it can do 10.90. We use our cars here in extreme heat and have never seen it impact the operation of the VCU. As for driving in locked mode it should only be done in offroad conditions. In rain always recommended to be on 4H so the car can turn properly on normal roads. Check out my website for specialised Pajero Parts. We have traction control on off module at the moment and gear paddle shifters coming soon! www.cronos4x4.com
In my mitsubishi I haven't had any issues with VCU in temperatures below -30c. In Canada, I'll leave it in 4h for snowy roads, unless I'm mashing through 20-40cm of frozen crud. For the most conditions, 4h is totally capable.
So 4H is just like an upgraded AWD? AWD is just 2WD then it switches to 4WD when the vehicle feels that it's necessary. Whereas 4H on the Montero is all-time 4WD, but it distributes the power as the vehicle see's necessary. Is that correct? Also, is there any wheel bind in 4H?
Hello Riley so in the Pajero the 4H the power by default is split Front 33:67 Rear percent. The car will adjust distribution all the way to 50:50 when needed. When in 4H there is no wheel binding so you can drive and turn normally with it on the normal roads
can somebody explained me,Can i drive in 4h alltime in normal roads and on highway and which speed?or there is no limit in speed to brake something in gear shifter?ty
thanks for this video, really i like your car, do you have photos of it? when i tern my pajero on 4h i hear ticking noise coming from the front wheel when im driving and it go off when i turn to 2h so i went to 3 garages in al ain they didnt know whats is that.
Very well explained thank very much, my NP 2004 3.8Lt Exceed goes very hard, can be hard on fuel, but fantastic on acceleration, can’t stop it in 4LLC, wants to dig a hole to China.. Love this car, and it’s auto..!!! WHATttttt...
I have used my 4HLC mode on pajero gen 4 and after a certain time the temperature sensor start beeping. What can be possible cause as it happened only will going up on a steep mountain in RAK , driving in sand or wadi never happened. Thank you for any advise
I have 2015 V6 3.5 L Pajero, am leaving for a long road trip of 2400 kms, where I will be using 4W and triptonic as part of trip will involve high altitude driving. Can I use triptonic in 4LLC mode?
Finally.. Great vid. Now i know what to use and how.. Thanks a lot... 4HLC...SAND... RIGHT UP TO 5TH GEAR...CAN I USE IT WITH THE REAR DIFF LOCK ON....
Do you feel that there's a need for a way to switch off traction control (TC) and possibly also active stability control (ASC) when driving on sand and snow? Doesnt TC and / or ASC get you bogged in quicker due to the car (wheels) being slowed down when it loses grip?
There is no locking between the engine and the wheels, there is locking between the front wheels and the rear wheels. Your transmission (automatic with torque converter and manual with clutch) is between the 4x4 transfer case and the engine.
I work on a sand mine so I’m always on sand . Mostly it’s hard so I can use 2wd but in soft sand I use 4h . What do you recommend? I only need it for 20-50! Feet at a time
Can we use LLC together with manual shift if we think we need maximum maximum power to get the vehicle out of deep stuck in the sand ?? Thanks in advance..
I currently own the 2008 3L V6 GLS pajero. Recently I've started sand duning here in the middle east. I was doing it previously on 4H. There were some times when im climbing a dune on an incline and the power was very low to the wheels. How much of a benefit will 4LLC provide in terms on incline push ? Also will turning ACS off help while dune bashing ? Sorry im new to this :)
Hello so I personally drive in the desert with 4lLLc. I personally find the power output ideal in low range for desert driving. Also make sure to turn off ASC. However traction is not fully off on yhe Pajero, you will also need traction kill switch which can be found here www.cronos4x4.com and also 2008 has a gear upshift issue in manual model it can be sorted with www.speedecu.com
Very helpful, Thanks Please explain rd lock system in detail, is rd lock used in 4H or can used in 4hlc as well and by using rd lock can we see sign on meter. Just brought 2005 pejaro 2.8 diesel engine for off rd and long journey to hilly tracks, need your assistance, please reply, Thanks.
A video is coming soon for the rear diff. In simple terms it can be used when stuck or you have a rear wheel up in the air and the car is not moving. Or trying to navigate tricky rocky terrain. You can use it in 4llc or 4hlc
getting myself a new pajero... i have a question, the parking in my bldg which is underground is rather steep and i have heard cars screeching.... having said that those are normal sedans.. the slope is also a bit slippery... should i engage the 4x4 gear to get out of the parking.... or with the 3.5 would it be okay on its own.
Pajero owners manual states that you can move from 4H > 4HLc while moving under speeds of 100km.
Yes you are correct you can shift all the way to 4HLc as long as you are under 100kph an hour

Thank you for the very helpfull and informative video. 2 thumbs up to you!
You are welcome!
Yesterday i dorve in Dunes ijj n qatar with only 4H went top of some duen as well. Im afraid now..wil that make any issue to the 4*4 system??.
Not at all. Your 4x4 system is very tough on the Pajero and it's perfectly okay to drive on 4H as well.
Nice one well explained. Thank you
Glad it helped 😊
What is the role of rear differential lock button.. i am new to sand driving and when i put my monetro on 4hlc it was taking too much acceleration to move .. but when i put the RD lock off then it was very smooth drive..is it safe to turn it off for long desert driving?
The rear diff button is used when the car is stuck to help in recovery. When turned on it begins to drive both rear wheels evenly and locked together. This allows not only the wheel without traction to continue to spin in the hope of gaining traction, but more importantly, begins to drive the well-grounded wheel that still has traction to spin and move the car.
Hello I made a video explaining how the Pajero R/D Rear Diff Lock Works: ua-cam.com/video/2cBNHMznVe0/v-deo.html
Excellent vid and well explained, right to the point.
I drive uphill and used 4H, thought this is softer to the gear, but half an hour and gear temp illuminate. Stopped to let cool and drive back downhill. Wondering why it is overheated, should I use 4HLc to lock it mechanically and reduce the use of oil?
I will change the filter and gear oil next month.
Wow.your explanation is perfect. Keep it up🙌
Thanks!
Hi I have a mitsubishi pajero 2011 model and I would like to ask whether can I activate the automatic looking system and how to do it I want when I'm driving to automatically look the doors so does it have this feature.
with 4hlc and 4hllc is it better to leave it in d or use triptronic gear change
When offoroading always recommend tip tronic
Thanks for this insightful info!! will try and let you know
You are welcome!
Very good explanation, thank you! I am considering between a Hilux and L200/Triton. I am more inclined towards Mitsubishi due to full time 4WD useable on roads. I have a couple supplemental questions, perhaps you would be able to advise me.
1 - I was not able to find technical data of force distribution range in 4H - 33/67 is default, but can it really go only to 50/50 or even more (such as 10/90 or 90/10) - I have read somewhere that this is possible.
2 - As the VCU uses a liqid that solidifies in high temperatures, is it a problem if there is 35 degrees plus and the group is up to 50 - can it start influencing the liquid? And what about extreme cold, 30 below zero - is the liquid and functionality affected?
3 - Also, can you use the 4h lock on very splippery roads, like in severe storms when the road has large pools of water, or when severe snow conditions?
Hello thank you for the messages. My understanding is the 4H defaults at 33.67 and moves all the way to 50.50. Not aware if it can do 10.90. We use our cars here in extreme heat and have never seen it impact the operation of the VCU. As for driving in locked mode it should only be done in offroad conditions. In rain always recommended to be on 4H so the car can turn properly on normal roads. Check out my website for specialised Pajero Parts. We have traction control on off module at the moment and gear paddle shifters coming soon! www.cronos4x4.com
In my mitsubishi I haven't had any issues with VCU in temperatures below -30c. In Canada, I'll leave it in 4h for snowy roads, unless I'm mashing through 20-40cm of frozen crud. For the most conditions, 4h is totally capable.
So 4H is just like an upgraded AWD? AWD is just 2WD then it switches to 4WD when the vehicle feels that it's necessary. Whereas 4H on the Montero is all-time 4WD, but it distributes the power as the vehicle see's necessary. Is that correct? Also, is there any wheel bind in 4H?
Hello Riley so in the Pajero the 4H the power by default is split Front 33:67 Rear percent. The car will adjust distribution all the way to 50:50 when needed. When in 4H there is no wheel binding so you can drive and turn normally with it on the normal roads
Great video! question, what would you reccomend for snowy road conditions 4h or 4hlc? Cheers
Both will work depends if you are on road or offroad completely. I prefer 4hlc
Excellent video, Look forward to many more
Thank you bro! There is a long list of topics coming up soon
can somebody explained me,Can i drive in 4h alltime in normal roads and on highway and which speed?or there is no limit in speed to brake something in gear shifter?ty
in 4 H you can drive on all speeds and normally. The Pajero is designed to run on 4H on normal streets no issues
thanks for this video, really i like your car, do you have photos of it? when i tern my pajero on 4h i hear ticking noise coming from the front wheel when im driving and it go off when i turn to 2h so i went to 3 garages in al ain they didnt know whats is that.
You are most welcome! Do join uae_pajero for the latest updates
Very well explained thank very much, my NP 2004 3.8Lt Exceed goes very hard, can be hard on fuel, but fantastic on acceleration, can’t stop it in 4LLC, wants to dig a hole to China.. Love this car, and it’s auto..!!! WHATttttt...
So when it’s in 4LLC climbing a very soft sand dune do you leave it in auto to choose its own gears or select the gear you want with the + -
What a great explanation
Love my shogun 2.5 d from 1989 Mark 1 LWD Perfect order drives like it was new. No complaints other than spares are difficult to find.😊😊 Any reason 😂
what about the rear differential lock? regards
Its used when your car is stuck or you have 1 rear wheel in the air and your pajero is not moving
Hello I made a video explaining how the Pajero R/D Rear Diff Lock Works: ua-cam.com/video/2cBNHMznVe0/v-deo.html
I have used my 4HLC mode on pajero gen 4 and after a certain time the temperature sensor start beeping. What can be possible cause as it happened only will going up on a steep mountain in RAK , driving in sand or wadi never happened. Thank you for any advise
Whats the + and - on the regular gear panel for?
You forgot the last one: rear differential lock button :) got me out of a sticky situation
An exclusive video is coming soon about the Rear Diff lock 😊
@@SandTrack awesome!
@@SandTrack hi, have you already released the video about the rear differential lock?
@@leandroparla795 hello not yet. Its on the list 😊 subscribe to my channel for the latest updates
@@SandTrack subscribed! I'm buying a Pajero and the videos you make are very helpful 😁
I have 2015 V6 3.5 L Pajero, am leaving for a long road trip of 2400 kms, where I will be using 4W and triptonic as part of trip will involve high altitude driving. Can I use triptonic in 4LLC mode?
Finally.. Great vid. Now i know what to use and how.. Thanks a lot... 4HLC...SAND... RIGHT UP TO 5TH GEAR...CAN I USE IT WITH THE REAR DIFF LOCK ON....
Yes you can! but only use the rear diff to get out of tricky situations and then switch it off
@@SandTrack .thanks a lot.....
Might be a stupid question but I noticed every time he shift gears, he put the driving mode to neutral. Can I shift the 4 gears in Park mode?
thank you for this video, I never knew what 4HLC was for.
You are so welcome!
Do you feel that there's a need for a way to switch off traction control (TC) and possibly also active stability control (ASC) when driving on sand and snow? Doesnt TC and / or ASC get you bogged in quicker due to the car (wheels) being slowed down when it loses grip?
How does diff lock button work within these modes? I read somewhere that its not required with 4LLc
The diff lock is used when you are stuck or one of your rear wheels is in the air. It helps with recovery
Hello I made a video explaining how the R/D Rear Diff Lock Works: ua-cam.com/video/2cBNHMznVe0/v-deo.html
Great stuff! Thanks alot for to the point useful info!
Most welcome bro. Check out my pajero traction loom website www.cronos4x4.com
Use 4H for your everyday ride. Much safer. You will notice that 4H mode is perfect even for most offroad conditions - snow, sand, mud.
Is it really necessary on a nice summer day though? I'm sure the gas mileage takes a big hit.
@@MFRileyat least on mine is not that big hit
There is no locking between the engine and the wheels, there is locking between the front wheels and the rear wheels. Your transmission (automatic with torque converter and manual with clutch) is between the 4x4 transfer case and the engine.
In simple terms which gear would you recommend to avoid too much wheel spin like to gain a good traction in sticky situations
For simple situations you can use 4H and turn off ASC to get out of sticky situations
Informative video. Do you always drive on 4llc on dunes? Continues trail on mix high dunes for example. Thank you
I personally like to drive in 4llc, it gives instant torque which I need for the heavy long wheel base
@@SandTrack but does it damage anything in your car??
Thanks from Antarctica. I will use this car when I drive to buy ice for my igloo
I work on a sand mine so I’m always on sand . Mostly it’s hard so I can use 2wd but in soft sand I use 4h . What do you recommend?
I only need it for 20-50! Feet at a time
Can we use LLC together with manual shift if we think we need maximum maximum power to get the vehicle out of deep stuck in the sand ??
Thanks in advance..
Yes that's possible you can off course.
I currently own the 2008 3L V6 GLS pajero. Recently I've started sand duning here in the middle east. I was doing it previously on 4H. There were some times when im climbing a dune on an incline and the power was very low to the wheels. How much of a benefit will 4LLC provide in terms on incline push ? Also will turning ACS off help while dune bashing ?
Sorry im new to this :)
Hello so I personally drive in the desert with 4lLLc. I personally find the power output ideal in low range for desert driving. Also make sure to turn off ASC. However traction is not fully off on yhe Pajero, you will also need traction kill switch which can be found here www.cronos4x4.com and also 2008 has a gear upshift issue in manual model it can be sorted with www.speedecu.com
Very helpful, Thanks
Please explain rd lock system in detail, is rd lock used in 4H or can used in 4hlc as well and by using rd lock can we see sign on meter.
Just brought 2005 pejaro 2.8 diesel engine for off rd and long journey to hilly tracks, need your assistance, please reply, Thanks.
A video is coming soon for the rear diff. In simple terms it can be used when stuck or you have a rear wheel up in the air and the car is not moving. Or trying to navigate tricky rocky terrain. You can use it in 4llc or 4hlc
Hello I made a video explaining how the Pajero R/D Rear Diff Lock Works: ua-cam.com/video/2cBNHMznVe0/v-deo.html
getting myself a new pajero... i have a question, the parking in my bldg which is underground is rather steep and i have heard cars screeching.... having said that those are normal sedans.. the slope is also a bit slippery... should i engage the 4x4 gear to get out of the parking.... or with the 3.5 would it be okay on its own.
If you have tyre slippage sure turn in the 4x4 why not :)
Very useful, appreciate it bro
Can explain when to use R/D lock on pajero
