in USA when you turn off the traction control system you basically turn off the VSA system which is the system that applies brake force to the free spinning wheel. Just put it in SPORT MODE and keep acceleration steady and let the system figure it out...

Great AWD review. Your demonstration just cuts through the PR bullcrap. Unfortunately not enough owners, no matter the brand or model will learn from your channel. These will be all the people stuck when just the basic AWD challenges raise their head. New subscriber!

I saw a different video with a comment about a guy with a built keep that saw a Camry on a fire road trail that deflated his ego, I did a similar thing in a 99 civic. Moral of the story, with enough research and prep time, I AM BATMAN!!! (Anything is possible)

the reason traction control was still flashing is because when you push the button it says "traction control reduced". It doesn't defeat it completely

They need to, with about a 1" lift, less of an overhanging bumper. And make sure it's the same AWD system as the Trailsport Pilot has.

So, if I decided to go off road while driving down the highway, I need to carry a set of offroad tires and change them out as soon as I pull off the highway and then put the road tires back on when I am done offroading? I mean who has time for all that nonsense?
@pigg200217 ай бұрын
@@SebastianMonroe-yd3nu Tires would definitely change the results. It works like a haldex system. The system must detect wheel slippage from all four wheels in order for the clutch to engage and once that happens it must be continuous. Haldex systems are designed for sand and snow only.

@RegCoulter Жыл бұрын
I cringe watching you guys abusing the drivetrain on this vehicle. It was never intended to do what you are trying to make it do. The ‘available’ AWD was intended more for wheels that have not been lifted from contact on the road surface. In that regard, you would find the vehicle would acquit itself rather well. It is not a crossover, but an SUV styled vehicle.
@SebastianMonroe-yd3nu7 ай бұрын
Right, but its an AWD and you know some fool that buys one will go off roading and I appreciate the vids and tests these people do on these vehicles so I know what I want to look for in a vehicle.
