JLTV USMC EXAM QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS GRADED A+ 2026
When driving on grades or slopes, if you have no traction? - ANS 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? - ANS 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? - ANS 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? - ANS 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? - ANS Use the exhaust brake downshift gear.
What Line Lock setting will you be in when ascending up to 60% Grade? - ANS LL3 - Line Lock

, What steps should you do before climbing any grade? - ANS 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? - ANS Use the BTM (Break Throttle Modulation).
What is the Approach Angle - ANS 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 - ANS 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 - ANS 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? -
ANS SAES
How do you engage SAES - ANS 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? - ANS Drive Shaft
When using the transaxle, what does the Low Range provide? - ANS Provides Torque for hill
climbing ability
When using the transaxle, what does the High Range provide? - ANS Used in normal
conditions and allows for higher speeds.
