Sprinter 4x4 4wheel drive system ?

Can anyone clarify the sprinter 4x4 system. The 4x4/awd system that I am most familiar is the one on the ml16/164 and the one in the g500 since I am fortunate enough to own those.

is the sprinter 4x4 system always awd but you can flick a switch to get it to lock the center differential (or something like that) when you need even more extra traction (I think sprinter call this low 4x4).essay writer

Or is it a rwd vehicle and flick a switch to get it into 4x4 mode. If this is the case how fast can you normally drive in this 4x4 mode.

I want to know if I can be in 4x4(awd) mode/traction and drive it at freeway speed like the ML and G

It is not intended for on-road use of the 4x4 mode. Its more along the lines of when you're running a G-wagon in diff lock mode....offroad use only.

"The U.S. system also does not have differential locks. Instead it uses sensors that apply the brakes on wheels that are spinning. This has a similar effect to a diff lock without causing issues when you want to turn a corner. Traditionalists seem to be really upset about this, but for most places you’ll take a Sprinter, it’s unlikely to make much difference. As John Shmit on the Sprinter forum says, “Old Russian saying : The better 4×4 will make you walk longer to find the tractor.”
