Oh & 1 final note: Take a leaf out of the "back of beyond Farmer/Off-roader's trick". That of applying the handbrake "partially" - to have a far better balance, between the two rear wheels, providing you with a mediocre ANTI-SPIN mode. (for ensuring that both back wheels won't independently spin) It's the best way to add a diff lock to the back wheels, when you don't have a diff locker there, as locking JUST the center diff makes the Front act like a second Rear end, which sadly still has an open diff, meaning that if one wheel on BOTH axles loses grip, the vehicle will act as if it were a 2wd car "spinning one wheel". In other words, CENTER DIFF LOCK doesn't give you full 4wd but a "misnamed" dual 2wd. (being the same as if it was just a 2wd axle - at each end of the vehicle). True 4x4 4wd LOCKS ALL DIFFS, so that every wheel turns if any spin, Which is extremely difficult to do until the belly of the vehicle's bodywork becomes high centered, (at which time you really are stuck - on/in mud, or on/in any other ground surface).
In case of stuck in the mud... try to break a little bit... so the standing tires will move again and you will get out. Driving the same car and i wouldn't have those problems. ;-)

Or, How to NOT get stuck in mud in your 4x4 crossover SUV ? 0:12 Yes 1st Put it into 4WD-Lock = center diff lock (it's not full "proper" all 3 diffs locked, in low range 4wd - but it'll do for now), 2nd MOVE the traction Control Setting from on to OFF (it's a little used button somewhere on the dash, called traction control which basically means the car deliberately brakes a wheel from spinning - which you do NOT need the brakes to be used for, so turn it off and a little warning light will go on in the dashboard, telling you - yep it's OFF); 3rd AIR DOWN (to approx. half of the normal "on-road" high speed running - tire pressure) 4th ... Put in it manual sport mode, and select gear number 1, and DO NOT UPSHIFT, (which the car may try to do, so keep half an eye on the gear setting & immediately PADDLE DOWN if the gearing changes automatically on you) 5th Take the self-recovery gear along for the ride, &.. Take deep breath as YOU WILL GET STUCK at some stage of trying to get stuck. 6th. NEVER EVER sit there with the pedal to the metal, (when spinning the only grip you had UNDER your tires, until you remove enough to become hi-centered, meaning a wheel will NEVER grip again as it stays above the ground on that axle, and often people continue to spin the begezus out of the remaining wheel - until it too has no grip left when it too becomes hi-centered) AS SOON AS YOU KNOW YOUR WHEELS HAVE STARTED SPINNING, "remove your foot off the accelerator", and see if there is any grip left? If there is, let the vehicle slowly IDLE to self-extract itself, in whichever is the best direction - normally that will be in reverse) If you have zero traction and the car doesn't move. STOP IT and find a tree or rock or use a sand/ground spade attachment for your winch (you did bring it didn't you) - to allow you to self recover whilst also letting the car idle out. Finally, DO IT AGAIN, and again and.. Until you have figured out how far you should "push/send" it, before it will get stuck next time, whereupon you have learnt both your capabilities and that of your vehicle. NOW - go forth and (try to) NEVER get mudstuck again, as next time, you could be too far away from mobile phone coverage, or too far "off-track" to be seen by anyone passing, so a LONG, cold and possibly difficult walk home will be your only option, the NEXT TIME you get mudstuck. P.S; when you get home use all that mud flung up onto your car to remind yourself... TAKE OFF THOSE SILLY OPEN-ON-ROAD TIRES, AND FIT A SET OF WHEELS WITH FULL "M+S" GRIP, TO ENSURE THAT YOU HAVE THE "BEST-GRIP" --- WHEN THE TIRE TREADS FILL WITH MUD.

Well of course you got stuck. You have street tires. Low profiles by the looks of it. A decent set of tires and you would be red necking it all over the place.
I don't need any instructions on how to get stuck in mud I can do it instinctively without anyone's help lol . Stop the silly steering wheel turning it does little to help but it stops the car gaining straight line momentum .
What version of the X-Trail is this exactly? The top-of-the-line version (4 total) "Elegance" should have Nissans ESP+ since 2005 , braking the wheels that slip and thus give the torque to the wheels that still have grip. Seening how the lost all grip, it does not seem to be this version or deactivated.
@@4x4check was thinking of an xtrail myself or one of those dusters for a little toy. Have a range but a lot of places I can’t go and fit down which is rubbish 😂

Drive the other side of the car to gravel and other to asphalt and accelerate from stand still, you should notice the difference between 2WD mode and 4WD mode if the 4WD works.
I was disappointed myself that it didn't put the power down on all 4 wheels like it should. I sold it.. got an Audi Quattro, check the other video on my channel 🤘
The car did what it was designed to do. The front and rear diffs are open so you need to drive accordingly. Apply the brake gently to increase the torque at the non spinning wheel.

Yes, using road tires makes it much easier. So if you want tu get stuck in harder terrain, you have much more chance on low profile road tires.
Indeed !

Why weren’t the rear wheels moving when front was stuck?!
It's an open diff. the front right and back left wheel were spinning.. the wheels with the less resistance

So no differential lock on this car.!!

I wonder Is it ok for this car
to ride always on the 4x4 mode?
Why is FWD olny with extra RWD?
I mean why is not permanenr ALLWD?
It's not ok to ride on 4x4, only on low speeds, it's how the 4x4 sistem is built. There are different systems for different types of use.
do u use only 2wd? I saw that the four wheels did not turn at the same time, at 4p40s
No it's just rubbish 😒
Tire size please? it looks good looking.
Can't really remember, 235 50 R17 I guess 😅
hello when we put LOCK there 50/50 right?
Yes! 50 front 50 back
👍🔥
3:50 - not very inspiring. Why the rear wheel is doing nothing?
Because it doesn't have rear diff. Lock and the other back wheel it's suspended.
Stop Stability mode if you are using 4x4 on offrorad. Anyway, 2.0L X-trail is nor for offroading.🎈🎈
Definitely 😁,

I can't remember 😬 if you look in the comment section you gonna find the answer. Somebody asked me the same question some time ago.
So its a 4x4 that is not a 4x4 and pretty useless when you need 4x4 or do we have to dance on one leg while hopping on the other legs singing "oh god why did i waste my money" before it can drive like 4x4?

Did you peint your rims in black ? It's nice !
Yep!

Road tires = NO..........😂 tires need to b a wee big chunkier for MUD 👍🏴
How do you compare xtrail to touareg? both on and off road?
I can't, Touareg in my opinion is some other kind of animal, both on and off the road.
How can I know if 4x4 is working or not?
Usually you gonna get a warning light in your dashboard if something isn't working properly..
Drive the other side of the car to gravel and other to asphalt and accelerate from stand still, you should notice the difference between 2WD mode and 4WD mode if the 4WD works.
Thanks a lot, friends. I am grateful for you two

Rear diff lock no have ?
Only 4x4 lock
get some proper A/T Tyres and the car is not going to get stuck as much
I think the point was to get a bit stuck but it went south more than expected..

The problem here where the type of tyres
great (y) (y). engine sound like diesel, am I right ?
Yes, 2.2 diesel engine 136cp
How to get stuck , spin your tyres as fas as you can and wheel spin them and dig your self in . Ofcourse will get stuck
😅
Compare this to Rexton , Huyndai Santa Fe ? Is the X trail a good SUV also the Jeep Compass ? I am wondering what to choose .
Choose Xtrail and you won't regret I'm using one currently it's a powerful machine
X trail or Jeep Compass, are both a good choice!
Rexton is a heavy duty 4x4 so not too fair for the xtrail
I don't get the tips... other than how to get stuck, and i think i mastered that already.
