JLTV USMC UPDATED Exam Questions
and CORRECT Answers
When driving on grades or slopes, if you have no traction? - CORRECT ANSWER - You
have no forward motion.
You are driving on 25% Side Slope when your downhill tires sink into softer dirt than your uphill
tires. What might happen to the vehicle? - CORRECT ANSWER - The slope angle is
increased, making roll-over more likely.
You are traversing a side slope when your downhill tires begin to sink in soft soil. You can feel
your uphill tires beginning to get light and lose traction. What do you do to counter this
condition? - CORRECT ANSWER - Steer downhill to stabilize the vehicle and apply
gentle momentum if necessary.
If forward motion is stopped because of loss of traction while ascending a grade, what CTIS
setting action do you take to increase traction and complete the ascent? - CORRECT
ANSWER - MSS - Mud/Sand/Snow
You are descending a long steep grade. You are using the vehicle brakes to control your speed.
Traction doesn't seem to be a problem. What other options can you do to help control your
descent speed? - CORRECT ANSWER - Use the exhaust brake downshift gear.
What Line Lock setting will you be in when ascending up to 60% Grade? - CORRECT
ANSWER - LL3 - Line Lock 3
What steps should you do before climbing any grade? - CORRECT ANSWER - Assess the
terrain, Choose the safest path, Choose the proper gear before starting up the grade.
When driving over obstacles or gullies, what should you do if you lose momentum or wheels
start to spin? - CORRECT ANSWER - Use the BTM (Break Throttle Modulation).
, What is the Approach Angle - CORRECT ANSWER - This is the maximum angle of a
ramp or obstacle onto which a JLTV can climb from a horizontal plane without interference.
What is the Departure Angle - CORRECT ANSWER - The angle between the ground and
the line drawn between the rear tire and the lowest handing part of the JLTV at the rear overhand.
What is the Break-Over Angle - CORRECT ANSWER - The maximum possible
supplementary that a JLTV with at least one forward wheel and one rear wheel can drive over
without the apex of that angle touching any point.
Which of the following does NOT need to be configured before maneuvering over obstacles? -
CORRECT ANSWER - SAES
How do you engage SAES - CORRECT ANSWER - Place the vehicle on Neutral (N). Set
Parking Breaks on. Press SUSPENSION on the HOME Screen. Press RIDE HEIGHT ADJUST.
Press SAES to adjust suspension for egress.
Torsion can damage the? - CORRECT ANSWER - Drive Shaft
When using the transaxle, what does the Low Range provide? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Provides Torque for hill climbing ability
When using the transaxle, what does the High Range provide? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Used in normal conditions and allows for higher speeds.
When switching High/Low Range on the transaxle, can it be completed while moving? -
CORRECT ANSWER - No, the vehicle must be at a complete stop to engage or disengage
the HI/LO Transaxle.
When fording, the JLTV is limited to what speed? - CORRECT ANSWER - 10 MPH
