Re: T31 4X4-i System
Hi,
Just to add my only experience on this topic (unfortunately I haven't done any real off-reading yet-emphasis on yet) regarding the hill/decent ascent button.
At the on-laws I was trying to reverse my Exy up a steep hill (concrete driveway with a nice bend half way up) I didn't get the right turning angle to park in front of the garage doors. I rolled forward on the clutch to the edge of the garden bed before needing to continue to reverse up. I'm pretty confident in saying that the Xtrail held on the hill (facing down) before needing to reverse up the hill.
So just wanted to clarify (if it hadn't been made apparent yet) that hill ascent (braking) assist control also works facing 180 degrees too.
While I tried using the hill DECENT button to go down, but didn't have the confidence or belief in the system and simply kind of clutched coasted down in first with brake (can't remember about 4WD lock but assume I would have used it as I used it on the way up in reverse).
On a side note, smoked the clutch trying that manoeuvre but it needed to be done. Tried avoiding it as much as possible but it happened. The next time I visited I offered my F.I.L. to reverse an empty box trailer up as I had no confidence in the clutch not smoking. Well I swear you couldn't burn anything on a bbq to get the same smoke. Not impressed but I don't think there was any damage done. So end result he used his V6 TD auto Pajero with no problems.
A lil off topic, but hope my 2 cents helps someone :-)
I found the previous pages to this thread very helpful and look forward to hitting up the Qld beaches over the next few weeks.
Cheers,
Ben

Re:
Ben, you need to be completely off the clutch when using hill descent and need to be in 4x4 lock. Feels weird and makes sounds but after a few times, you'll get used to it.
