What does it mean part time on a Jeep Liberty?

Answer 1

it means part-time four wheel drive. It will lock the differentials in the front and read of the four-wheel drive cars. Making them harder to turn in extreme turns. But allows equal power to all wheels, which is better for off-road conditions, or extreme weather conditions. Only have it in part time when needed, as it does use a little more fuel if you don't know how to drive with it properly. Always make sure before you switch to and from four wheel drive with the lever on the Jeep liberty or any other four wheel drive. put the car in neutral, then turn on/off the 4-wheel drive hi or low, then go back into drive. Do not go faster than 60 mph on 4hi, and no faster than 25 on 4low. If you do not go into neutral before going into 4 wheel drive, you can strip the gears. You can do what I do and switch to and from wheel drive on the fly in the jeep liberty by "flicking" it to neutral, pop the 4 wheel drive lever, then "flick" the stick back into drive. Takes practice to get it right.
