This is my first winter w/my XJ. The roads here have been snowy/icy/slushy for weeks now, and my 4WD Hi has been just great; I haven't fishtailed once and can get up my very steep (and usually coated with packed icy snow) driveway (which I have to turn into from a virtual stop) every time.
It's been so great I want to be sure I don't do something stupid to it.
I've been told by very good heads I should slow down to no more than 10-12 mph to shift into or out of it no matter what the manual says. Right?
And when I start out on still-slushy residential streets and get on the dry highway, should I shift back to 2WD?
And I shift to 4WD Lo (from a virtual stop) when 4WD Hi can't handle the situation, right?
Anything else I should know?
Many thanks.
