Than more difficultly the car, it demands especially serious attitude to. The main thing is to not use full-drive car as an off-road car because serious preparation auto has no. Well what off-road car will be born on a line with a speed of 200 km/h.
full-drive car are created on the basis of usual road models, they are equipped with the systems automatically distributing between axes twisting moment. Therefore in no event it is impossible to save on rubber. Not only that all tire covers should have the identical size, they should have identical deterioration! Otherwise the interaxal differential will constantly work in partially blocked condition that “will quickly kill” it as wheels will slide on equal road with different speed (at Cross Country 95 % of the twisting moment on asphalt it is necessary on forward wheels).
After each 70-80 thousand run it is necessary to change oil in units and units of transmission. If to adhere to these rules reliability of work of system of a full drive will be as at system with usual transmission.
At off-road operation the resource brake shoe disk brakes can be less than 2 thousand in km as in such conditions shoes wear out more quickly drum-type. However on usual road disk brakes are more effective.
The solidity and rich complete set Volvo Cross Country will approach both for business-trips and for family departures city, nevertheless intentionally “to force” its impassability it is not necessary.
