Function of the transfer case
WARNING Risk of skidding and having an accident when in LOW RANGE on slippery road surfaces
The wheels can block and thus lose traction on slippery road surfaces, particularly in the following situations:
if you release the accelerator pedal when the vehicle is in motion.
if off-road ABS intervenes when braking.
Never select the LOW RANGE off-road gear when driving on slippery road surfaces.
Shift the transfer case to the on-road position HIGH RANGE or into the LOW RANGE off-road gear.
Shift ranges
HIGH RANGE: Road position for all normal on-road driving situations
LOW RANGE: Off-road gear for driving off-road, when fording and on steep uphill or downhill inclines
Properties of the LOW RANGE off-road gear:
reduced maximum permissible speed and increased tractive power
changing the transmission ratio by a factor of about three
increased drive torque
Do not use LOW RANGE in the following situations:
when driving on public roads.
