To engage the 4-wheel drive in a Honda Ridgeline, you need to first deactivate the VSA. Then, shift into first gear and press the VTM button. The rear differential lock can be used in 1st, 2nd, or reverse. 4WD enhances traction in challenging driving situations like snow, ice, and rocky terrain, where maintaining control can be tricky. By activating both sets of wheels, you enhance traction and control. The added weight helps provide better grip on the road. 4WD is ideal for enthusiasts of off-roading. However, driving at high speeds in such conditions increases the risk of flipping or rolling due to the vehicle's higher center of gravity. Keep in mind that 4WD does not enhance braking capabilities or stability during braking in turns.
