Four Wheel Drive Systems
The Liberty is available with either a part time
Command-Trac or full time
Selec-Trac transfer case. The
Command-Trac transfer case has four positions: 2-HI, 4-HI, Neutral, and 4-LO. The lever is placed in 2WD HI for regular driving, this allows the two rear tires to receive power. The second position, 4WD HI, is used for driving on slippery or loose pavement. This position locks both the front and rear drive shafts together splitting engine power equally between all four tires. The third position, Neutral, disengages both drive shafts from the transfer case allowing the car to roll freely, this is used for towing behind another vehicle, for example. The last position, 4WD LO is used for situations in which there is very little traction, this position, like 4WD HI locks both the front and rear drive shafts together, but using a lower gear ratio. This lower gear ratio allows for more torque; the included torque multiplier allows for 2.72 times the amount of torque, but the speed is limited to around 25 MPH max. It should be noted that using 4WD HI or LO on dry pavement is hazardous to vehicle components, through drive line binding and wheel-hop
The
Selec-Trac transfer case has five positions: 2-HI, 4-HI Part-Time, 4-HI Full-Time, Neutral, and 4-LO. This transfer case is different from the Command-Trac transfer only in the extra 4WD HI Full-Time position. The 4WD HI Full-Time position adds the same traction benefits that the part-time 4WD setting offers, but features an open differential between the front and rear axles to allow the two axles to spin at independent speeds and eliminate drive line binding and wheel-hop. This position gives the rear wheels 60% of the engine's power and the front wheels 40% of the engine's power. The division of power and open center differential allows the Selec-Trac transfer case to be theoretically operated at all times in an "All Wheel Drive" mode with no adverse effects.
Tens de saber qual a caixa de velocidades!!
Mas é uma boa maquina com qualquer uma! boa relação entre eixos!!
Não é uma super makina para o mato, mas também não te vai deixar mal!
A performance no mato também só se obtem se investires nele (subir a suspensão, pneus, bloqueios a 100%, etc)
De origem são todos umas boas arrastadeiras como a minha!!! heeheh
abraço
