Grass-Gravel-Snow (firm base slippery top):
- If Low Range is selected, ride height is raised and Hill Descent Control is activated
- Differentials are locked.
- Engine pickup is softer, reducing sudden bursts of power.
- Auto transmission upshifts early.
- Sets off in Second Gear, High Range or Third Gear, Low Range
- Stability systems primed to cut any slip or slide
Mud-Ruts (soft uneven muddy ground, wet and soggy sand):
Hill Descent Control is selected Differentials are partly locked Low Range is preferred, but not automatically recommended If Low Range selected, ride height is raised (NB requires manual activation if trailer attached) Transmission shifts early, remaining in higher gears for longer
Sand (soft and dry also deep gravel):
If Low Range selected, ride height is raised (NB requires manual activation if trailer attached) Throttle is responsive to acceleration Transmission downshifts readily Traction and stability systems allow for increased wheel slip Switch off DSC if extremely soft and dry
Rock Crawl (wet or dry solid unyielding ground – Rocky river crossings):
Low range must be selected Differentials are locked Ride height is raised (NB requires manual activation if trailer attached) Slowest speed for Hill Descent Control is selected Allows extreme suspension articulation Sets off in first gear Stability systems primed to cut any slip or slide
Hill Descent Control:
High Range: D, R and CommandShift 1 Low Range: D, R and ALL CommandShift gears Fully functional below 50kph Descent speed controlled by Cruise Control + or – (press and hold until desired speed)
Low Range / High Range:
Stationary: apply foot brake, transmission to N (neutral), activate transfer gear switch.
On Move – High to Low: No faster than 40kph, transmission to N, push transfer gear switch to LOW and release, transmission to D. Gear won’t be selected until range change is completed.
On Move – Low to High: No faster than 60kph, transmission to N, pull transfer gear switch to HIGH and release, transmission to D. Gear won’t be selected until range change is completed.
