Maximum gradient-climbing capabil-
ity
Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing
capability depends on the off-road conditions
and the road surface conditions.
Vehicles with the ON&OFFROAD package:
the maximum gradient climbing ability is
100% when the LOW RANGE off-road gear is
selected.
Vehicles without the ON&OFFROAD pack-
age: the maximum gradient climbing ability is
80%.
Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter-
rain.
i If the load on the front axle is reduced
when pulling away on a steep uphill slope,
the front wheels have a tendency to spin.
4ETS recognizes this and brakes the
wheels accordingly. The rear wheel torque
is increased, making it easier to drive off.
For further information about the maximum
gradient climbing ability, see (
Y
page 203).
