- In this video we demonstrate how to use the transfer gearbox, using 2H, 4H and 4L. This is for anyone who has got the new 2019 Suzuki Jimny SZ4 or SZ5 or is thinking of getting one, but it's not aimed at off road experts or 'enthusiasts' who already know this stuff.
We also show how to use hill decent control on a steep grass hill.
Please comment with your opinions and expertise.
I'm sure when I tried hill decent control on mine it didn't work in 2H. I meant to look in the manual to see if that is supposed to be the case.
reedxuk Ok that’s interesting: I didn’t actually try it in 2h to be honest. I’ll have a go later to see.
I just tried it in 2H and you’re right. The light comes on but flashes and it doesn’t activate. Only works in 4WD.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks for confirming. Pleased it's not just mine!
reedxuk no problem; wish I’d tried it before i did the video lol
@@MrDarcy-OlMan I just posted your video on the Jimny forum, because as i said its very good at showing the workings from a drivers perspective. I'm trying to work out how the auto's work in hill descent. Some people have said it requires the driver to manually break to set speed, but that defeats the purpose surely. Lots of questions still remain on this new Jimny. Its a great adventure.
You are a lifesaver. Hired a Jimny to drive around Iceland and watched your video to understand the hill control. Absolute 10/10 from me -Thank you so much! Especially the 4L was incredibly helpful driving up and down icy decents!
Ahh thanks that’s great! 👍🏼👍🏼

Your the kind of old man i wish I had. Strong, interesting, decisive and no nonsense. Lucky lad. All the best and thanks for your series of videos. Andy. EDIT: Your the only video i have seen, which shows the transition into 4wd and 4wd Low whilst on the move. I like the whine in 4 low, it reminds me of the humvee military spec drive train. Just the noise though, as Humvee's are tosh. Again, nice1 to you both.
Andy aka Rudolf Hessiansack Thanks buddy! Really nice of you to say. 👊
Thank you so much for this video! I just bought my 2020 Jimny and have no experience with the 4wd stick and hill decent. Massive help, cheers!
No problem! Glad it helped 👍🏼👍🏼
Cool Video. I was wondering why 4WD vehicles have 2 gear sticks as I've never owned a 4WD. It's good to learn and your video goes straight to the point.
I use 4wd pretty regularly in mine.. Low range I use whenever conditions are tougher and I'm at slow speeds, I'm in Australia so there's a lot more opportunity for me to use it here with our tougher terrain, I reckon I use 4wd about 5 or more times a week, You really notice a huge difference from 2H To 4H On steep gravel roads, especially in the wet or even light muddy hills.
Usually as a rule of thumb start with 4H And work your way to 4L Depending on if you feel the terrain requires more torque and grip, Should never really go straight from 2H to Low range unless you need to keep momentum or unless you're certain you'll need to switch anyway.
JesseK99 Great points well made my friend! Thanks for taking the time to comment. 👊
Thank you RUclips Dad :) Your video was great, no complicated jargon
You're welcome! Thanks!
Thanks for this video.
I bought a brand new jimny for the wife in 0ct 23. She used to have a Samurai back in 2000 and she drove it til the wheels fell off.
The bloody road tax is a killer though being a commercial.
We've yet to take it off road and the nearest to a field we'll get is the car boot sale.
I dont regret buying it because she keeps wrecking our Karoq by hitting potholes..but ive never paid so much money for something so noisy,clunky sounding and basic..but i still love it.
Luckily we're blessed where we live yo have countryside like in the video so we'll be taking it out this weekend to give it a go. 👍
Excellent! How much is the road tax?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan 360ish I think. Same as my 1.6 hdi Peugeot partner van
thank you for this video. Very clear and easy to follow!
Great video, well explained! Thanks for taking the time to make it and sharing..
Thanks buddy
So for Automatic transmission how hill descent will work is 1.first put drive mode 2.put the 4 wheel lever to 4H or 4L.3.Then pull the hill descent button in the dashboard. Hope this is the way to go. Please reply Sir if this is correct for those of you who owns AT. Thanks!
Yes that would work, but the button you can press it at anytime even though it won't work in 2wd only when in 4wd, so the timing of pressing the button is not crucial 👍🏼
@@MrDarcy-OlMan great to hear this!
I got a Suzuki samurai - I should use 2h for day to day driving and 4h when I want 4wd and 4l when I really need it
I’m having a big noise, like metal against metal, like punch no scratch, when using 4lo in my jimny, only when I’m in a climb and taking out the clutch, any suggestion ?
Might be worth having it looked at by a dealership
Super helpful video thanks guys!
Thanks Nat! xx
Bit of a belated comment but I hope you see it: mate, I'm very curious how the clutch lets out at 2H, 4H and 4L? I've heard a lot of reports of people having to torture the clutch to avoid stalling when engaging the AllGrip TC system, but in 4L the clutch should basically be impossible to stall -- in theory. How is it?
When moving off from a standstill in any mode, it needs a lot of revs and slipping of the clutch to get going, and this can be a problem if theres an immediate obstacle to tackle. Once moving it will crawl along and over obstacles or up hills fine, without stalling. Have you seen our latest Jimny in the Snow video?
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Nah mate, I only just found this. Oh wow, that's a shame. So even in 4L it requires a lot of clutch slipping to get it going? Yeah, that's what I've heard. I've even heard reports of people having to replace their clutches at 30,000km in the manual variant because of it. At the same time, the autos tend to overheat. Hard to feel confident going for either option.
@@Amphion0 It’s only an issue if you’re faced with an obstacle off road for example. In every day use it’s fine
The Jimny is like a big motorcycle, just got mine a few days back - 5 door version .
Awesome, enjoy 😉
Congrats mate! I got mine about a month ago, 3 doors tho
@@HasanAl-Saffar thanks
@@kseth6992 Sure mate! enjoy
Between manual and Auto which one do you recommend to buy in Jimny. 60% urban 40% himalayan hill drive?
Manual 💯
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thanks
I have auto as well as Manual both.... But Automatic is more practical ai all Conditions...as it has Manual option mode itself...
@@nayyarsons thanks. I bought AT few months back.
Is clitch in necessary to go frim 2h to 4h and vice versa? Thanks in advance.
Nothing is said about it in the user manual
I don't want to risk doing it without, just in case it's not, but it's probably OK if there's no tension in the drive system, ie when stopped
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks a lot for the feedback!
I have a question and I can't find an answer on it. In 2H I can drive normally like every car. But in 4H everybody says I should not drive curves, just straight ahead. What does this mean? When im stuck turn on the 4H drive a few meters just straight ahead and then turn again to 2H? I dont get this point. How and when to use the 4H or 4L, I mean if i can not drive curves in 4H there is not much use of it, in forests and offroad you have to steer the whole time left and right, you cant ride through trees and rocks straight ahead. Can someone explain this to me? Sry about my bad english, hope everybody understood me.
Mannixc V3 hi yes no problem. You drive normally in 2H AND 4H. It’s only when you are shifting the lever that you need to keep straight because if you’re turning, the outside wheels are revolving faster than the inside wheels so if you’re wheels are straight, they will be turning at the same speed. I hope that makes sense
You can drive quite normally in 2H or 4H. The thing is you wouldn't engage 4H unless necessary that is when the surface is loose or slippery. 4L is for extreme conditions like very steep climb or rock crawling even when you can obviously steer the car.
this is what I'm searching for . thanx
Great! Glad to help.
Me too🤗

Hi mate, thanks for the video. I’ve got my jimny recently and currently drive only in a city. However, in upcoming month I’m planning to go to skiing with Jimny. And almost 30 km of the road is asphalt with some ice build ups. I have BFG KO2 tyers but sometimes slips when it is wet on the road with 2WD. So that the wise move would be to put it in 4wd the whole 30 km journey. Does it affect on the gearbox life?
Thanks in advance😊
Thanks very much.
Only use 4x4 when its a loose or slippery surface, as it can build up tension in the system and even break. The flip side though, is that it works very well when it is slippery
On 3:00 4L was not necessary, 4L is for driving through mud,deep snow or driving up rocks where you need more torque and more control of you vehicle
Yes it could have done it in 4H but it’s to show people what options there are
If 4H is not enough then we use 4L, it that correct
Whats happens if you use descent control without 4 wheel traction on asphalt?
It's fine from that point but it's not recommended to use 4H or 4L on normal road surfaces, unless very slippery
This was very helpful. 😎
Thanks 👍🏼👍🏼
It's a usefull one. By the way can we change to 4H while driving 2H whitout stop vehicle? Is it safe? Thank u ^_^
Thank you. Yes you can change from 2H to 4H while driving, but very carefully with no load on the transmission and with the front wheels pointing straight ahead. Not at speeds above 30mph
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thank you, one more similar question, can we change from 4H back to 2H while driving too?
Yes same technique (use clutch by the way) but much slower speed.
That is exactly what I was looking for .
I leave in Morocco and I Wonderbox if you have tyre pressure advices on Sand ?
Thanks a lot
Thanks buddy! For sand it's-usually best to lower pressures. I'd say 20psi
so what's the difference between 4H and 4L -- when do you use each of them? Thanks!
4h drives at normal speeds but in 4 wheel drive. Say on road in snow or off road in gravel etc. 4L is for crawling speeds where you need to pick your way more carefully
@@MrDarcy-OlMan thank you for these tips. :)
Sir can we change the gear to third or forth if we are using the 4H and can we change the gear from 1st to 2nd gear when using 4L?
Once it is 4H or 4L you use the normal gears exactly as usual.
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thanks for the reply sir🤗🤗🤗
Really good informative video 🙂
Jo Jo Thanks JoJo! It’s good to have a go before you need it
For AT, do i keep it on 'D' while on hill descent control?
Yes that would be correct 👍🏼
And also 4H or 4L.it may not work in 2H
very helpful, tnx !
No problem 👍🏼👍🏼
Can hill descent control be used in reverse gear?
I don’t know tbh! I’ll try it next time I’m out. I would imagine it does
Does it have locked differential?
I believe the centre diff locks when in 4 wheel drive, hence why it shouldn’t be used in 4x4 on dry or grippy surfaces. Otherwise no
I want one!
Mus Mustafa They are awesome!
Wats the max speed allowed under 4H or 4L?
No particular maximum. Just as fast as it will go
I wouldn’t advise going fast on 4Low
How does it compare to the defender?
Salty Pretzel Good question. I used to round up sheep in my old Jimny, then bought a Defender 90 and got stuck the first time I went into my field! The Jimny being so light and nimble is in most cases, better off road except that it doesn’t have the axel articulation of a defender. The Jimny is also more roomy in the driving seat believe it or not!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Thank you. What you said about the Jimny being more roomy in the driving seat is amazing! I am looking forward to test drive a Jimny in a few days.
R Vieira Great! I hope you like it and fingers crossed that you will be able to get one! They are in short supply!
@@MrDarcy-OlMan Yes, short supply is an understatement: in Portugal and Spain the waiting list for those interested in getting one is already over six months!
@@rvieira8057 In Poland approx 12 months. I saw a review from there the other day. They say it's brilliant but rather a ghost. You just can't buy one. I think Suzuki didn't expect such a success.
So... still .. it’s a 2wd for most people in most day on most road
Yes exactly
@@MrDarcy-OlMan it’s still a nice car . It’s my options if it’s not in a cold(snow)/wet high way circumstance
Off road?..its more side road!!😁
rost Rust Yes serious stuff!
Hell, roads like that is why I own a Jimny, being able to just chuck yourself into the ditch instead of finding a passing place is a mega plus in the north of Scotland :D
