Warning!
G
Always wait until the procedure of shifting
from HIGH RANGE to LOW RANGE – and
from LOW RANGE to HIGH RANGE – has
been entirely completed. During this proce-
dure do not:
ț switch off the engine
ț shift the automatic transmission into
another gear
If you do not wait until the shifting proce-
dure has been entirely completed then it
might not be correctly performed. The trans-
fer case might be in neutral, thus interrupt-
ing the transfer of power between the
engine and the drive axle.
The vehicle is then freely movable, even if a
gear has been selected, and could uninten-
tionally be set into motion – particularly on
up – or downhill grades. This could lead to
an accident and cause injury to yourself and
others.
Please observe related messages appearing
in the multifunction display ( ୴ page 493).
! The shift procedure can only be performed
when the following conditions are met:
ț The engine is running ( ୴ page 41).
ț The automatic transmission is in position N
(
୴ page 193).
ț The vehicle speed does not exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h).
i There is no reset to HIGH after the ignition
has been switched off.
