[@vachanmalhotra2197]

Thanks Bunny....was waiting for this explanation by an expert like you

[@Wizvehicle-ju3cj]

Thanks bunny was searching for this type of video got from best auto teacher

[@dksharma1092]

What about OD switch?? Does it shift to 3rd when pressing OD off while on 4th gear???? If yes this can be used for quick overtakes??!!!

[@ashnishan]

In the thar review , u asked for the auto transmission to be in neutral while on the Jimny , u asked for it to be left in P mode ( when we need to engage 4h or 4L ) … what’s the difference ?

[@Chris-hp9be]

Awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@TheDemonRSS]

Very clear video thanks

[@tejasyadav796]

Bro one doubt what is the purpose of the button there in the automatic lever on the side

[@Agent.K.]

O/D off button (over drive). It limits the transmission to 3rd gear. So you have L= 1, then 2, then D = 3 and 4. If you only want 3 you press the button.

[@AnilKumar-td8jz]

Very Good information...Thank you

[@RodrigoBelfoSerzo]

Do you have an idea if the 4wd not engaging, the indicator is blinking meaning not engaged but it shifted to low range. What could be the problem?

[@YellowPeaks]

Wonderful Video as always, I can't wait to put my hands on Jimny. I am little doubtful on your statement of when shifting to gear 2, it will start from 2nd gear, I think its pretty similar to GV, if you place it in 2, the car will start from 1st gear, will shift to 2nd if RPM increases, but will stay at 2, no matter how high is the RPM, but if RPM drops below the RPM range of 2nd gear, it will shift back to 1st gear. Basically it will switch between 1st and 2nd gear Correct me if I am wrong.

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

Spoke to a few experts. 2 means start in 2 and stick to 2. Example black ice where u don't wanna be in 1 and don't want the extra spin. Update : an owner says start in 1 but stick to 2

[@YellowPeaks]

@@BunnyPuniaVideos ok, in GV, I have L, 2, 3 and then D (which is effectively 4th). When I shift to 3, it starts from 1, shift to 2 and then 3 based on the RPM range, but as I stop, it shifts back to 1. Similarly when I am at 2, it starts from 1, shift to 2 and then stays there, no matter how high is the rpm, but it shifts to 1 at really low rpm or at stop.

[@ganeshkewale1318]

Make a review on electric scooter ingo please please please ❤❤❤❤ and pricing

[@pawankumarsingh007]

@@BunnyPuniaVideos When 2 is engaged, it will toggle between 1st and 2nd gear only depending upon the rpm, whereas L will restrict it to 1st gear only. It also have OD button, once OD is switched off, Jimny will toggle between 1st, 2nd and 3rd gear, no matter whatever be the rpm, it wont shift to 4th gear which essentially is the only overdrive gear.

[@yashvrm]

I recently got Jimny and my friend have a Thar. Every video that i watch said "never use 4x4 on paved roads" Even my service manual says that using those in roads can damage the system. My friend on the other hand uses his Thar in 4x4 mode on a regular basis even on city roads. and his car is still working fine. We both live in city and have zero use of 4x4 on daily basis. I am confused and reluctant to even put my car in 4x4 mode. Is Thar more reliable in 4x4 ? and exactly where can i use this 4x4 mode when almost all famous hill stations have paved roads these days.

[@BrioHonda-s5e]

When to shift to 4L ?? P or N?

[@MukeshThakur]

There's some grinding noise coming from my jimny manual in 1st gear while going on incline, both 2h and 4h. Any idea what could be the reason?

[@jtang5210]

Thanks so much. I got stuck in the car and seeing this video. I left with 4H or L i think

[@RedeemedDUBAI]

Thank you bunny

[@gunnatravel]

Thankyou good video , please a question can i tow a Jimny auto with my Motorhome. Or will it damage the transmission. Thankyou 😊

[@kylekyle8071]

Nice video Can you go to 4H and 4L using Neutral on the Automatic version ?

[@lalhlimliana1297]

Using neutral your vehicle cannot go. you should use any gear even when using 4x4

[@dominicsaviomadeira8752]

Thank you. Very informative video. Just one question.. can the L Gear and 4X4L be used simultaneously ?

[@mytube3673]

Yes same questions

[@KHALNAYAK26]

Can we rotate the steering wheel rightwards while in the 4*4 low ?

[@anitaarya8690]

Excellent

[@saharahmad7474]

Can we use 4x4 H with 2nd or 3rd gair and what should b the speed

[@NomadGurkha]

do we have diff locks in the jimny?

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

Nup!

[@saikat1969utube]

Sir, while climbing high gradient with loose gravel can the 4L be used? While on 4L can the steering be turned full on either side without damaging any component ?

[@Agent.K.]

Yes it can be used. Try to avoid full lock and make bigger turns, but if you have to, then lift your feet off the throttle when turning. Don't fight the steering wheel.

[@manojbudhia219]

Coming soon face lift of Jimny with CNG & TURBO configuration, with better storage space for mobiles, water bottles.

[@05vijay422]

thank you for asking us to buy manual transmission................

[@ronalddcosta6137]

Hoow to go Bach to two wheel drive from 4 H

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

Can do on the move, simply push the lever ahead

[@EXPLORERS111]

Hello sir Today while taking test drive ,show room guy gave wrong info He told me to press and change for 4H. Can i change to 4L in P or should i keep in N Sir?

[@vitaliyprovotorov8272]

Thx bro

[@kailaphotography6047]

At 2 jimney will automatically chooses gear 1 or 2. I think u r wrong here.

[@anant1985]

Can someone please tell me if this jimny is front wheel drive or rear wheel drive 😅

[@atulya_sharma]

Rear wheel drive unless 4x4 is engaged

[@sarath128]

What is that small button on the side of gear lever

[@bharatverma7442]

It is od/off button means overdrive,eg.when u want to overtake n u push this button car will not go to 4th gear it will stuck in 3rd for better punch

[@Vendeta552]

You didn't mention one important thing which i want to know. Can we keep both 4*4 and normal gear in L and drive while climbing rocks and similar situations?

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

Yes, can

[@cheistoc]

Yes you can

[@karanmadan6403]

Can we drive on tarmac bends with 4H or 4L ?? How and when does the differentials lock ?

[@guidlines]

No you can't. You'll bind the drive train up. The diffs don't lock but you have the AllGrip system

[@FurkanSana]

Sir OD button ??????????????

[@TheMongarishi]

Sir how tall are you

[@samirchouksey]

What is the use of the OD button in Jimny ?

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

If you press OD, the gearbox will not go into OD or overdrive mode. It will only operate in 1st, 2nd, 3rd gears

[@samirchouksey]

@@BunnyPuniaVideos sorry to say but still not cleared, if OD off light is showing on dashboard what does it mean? Car is in OD mode or not ?

[@vijaykantchoube8563]

1 जब 4H लगाते है तो A T jimmy मे लीवर किस position par होना चाहिए. ? 2जब 4L लगाते है तो leaver P मोड़ पर होना चाहिए ?

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

1) 4H can be done in D or P or N - no problem 2) 4L only on N

[@rav.jimnyadventures]

Can I use 4H or 4L while in reverse gear in a manual transmission Jimny?

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

Yes yes

[@rav.jimnyadventures]

@@BunnyPuniaVideos Yesterday my Jimny's rear wheels started slipping while trying to climb over a hump on a steep slope in reverse gear. I was in 2H. Now I know that I should have been at least in 4L. Thank you.

[@sanjaymu74]

Overdrive mode is what 4 speed + 1 or 3+1 ... meaning D is upto 3 speed and OD is 4? Or is it 5?

[@pawankumarkhatri]

OD ON 1-4. OD OFF 1-3. There is no 5th gear (in automatic variant).

[@sanjaymu74]

@@pawankumarkhatri Thabks! Also does anyone think that the noise level of engine (radiator fan included) is more on the Auto variant than the MT ? Could this be due to raised RMP levels 🤔?

[@viajandocondarleng3210]

Why when I set 4L and put D my Jimny goes back?

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

Strange

[@KHALNAYAK26]

Only because the 4 low gear hasnt got engaged properly..you need to push and pull back the 4*4 gear knob properly

[@sahilmaravi8765]

Hindi me bolte to kafi achaa rehta

[@bhaveshpatel6892]

In 4L shall I reverse car

[@BunnyPuniaVideos]

Yes, can. Remember, off-roaders do it when stuck in mud / slush / off the road

[@mytube3673]

But u didn't explain properly how to get back to normal 4H from 4L..should we again press it down to get back to 4H as you did press down to get 4L unlike 4H
