Tech/Engineering - Automotive / Cars & Trucks / technique de conduite de 4 x 4 | | French term or phrase: croisement de pont | Bonjour Quelqu'un connaît comment dire en anglais ou en japonais "croisement de pont" ?
Il s'agit d'une situation que l'on rencontre souvent lorsque l'on conduit une 4 x 4 dans la nature (ci-dessous la description).
"Ton auto a la roue avant gauche sur une petite butte, roue avant droite en l'air, et la roue arrière droite sur une autre petite butte, roue arrière gauche en l'air. Si tu regarde de face ou de dos tes deux ponts se croisent en formant un X, c'est le croisement de pont tant redouté et adoré par les 4x4treux qui s'amusent à se sortir de ce délicat passage où ta voiture n'avance plus puisque seules les roues en l'air tournent."
Merci d'avance pour votre aide. |

| | cross axle | Explanation:
4x4 websites show this - there's also a youtube video of it!
Cross axle situations
This is when there is considerable articulation between axles.
Study the terrain so that you know the area where the cross axle situation will occur.
Lock the central differential and rear axle differential where possible.
On the flat or up a hill, change into low ratio 2nd or 3rd gear, and into low ratio 1st when going downhill.
On the flat or up a hill, accelerate lightly just before the cross axle point.
When going downhill, brake lightly if necessary but never lock the wheels.
Should the vehicle’s progress halt, change into reverse and go back, then choose another line or speed |
