Off-road position
This position is intended for
driving off-road and step
gradients.
The automatic transmission
will not upshift
automatically to the next
higher gear range when
driving at the rpm limit.
The transfer case supports
the engine’s driving force
(approximately
1
/
2
speed).
Output is therefore
increased.
N
Neutral
No power is transmitted
from the engine to the drive
axle.
