Default 4x4 selection

What's the difference between the green 4x4 and the orange 4x4, and what situations would I use them? I know I can use the green one in the rain but not sure as to what situations I would use the orange one

The orange one locks the center diff in the transfercase so even if one rear or one front wheel is off the ground the opposite end will still get drive, you'll need to loose traction from one front and one rear to be stopped. The green one doesn't lock the center diff so as soon as any wheel looses traction alll the power will go to that wheel and you'll stop. Basically orange for low traction surfaces (4X4 terrain) with minimal grip, green for hi traction surfaces (wet or dry does't matter it'll run fine on dry tarmac)

Cheers
Steve

Green is full time 4wd ie can be used all the time as the centre diff is un-locked, the orange is part time which means the centre diff is locked and is used off road when you need everything driving at the same speed...
