Off-road position
This position is intended for
driving off-road and step gradi-
ents.
The transmission will not up-
shift automatically to the next
higher gear range when driving
at the rpm limit.
The transfer case supports the
engine’s driving force (approx.
½ speed). Output is therefore
increased.
N Neutral
No power is transmitted from
the engine to the drive axle.
!
The shift procedure can only be per-
formed when:
ț The engine is running.
ț The selector lever for the automatic
transmission is in position N.
ț The vehicle speed does not exceed
25 mph (40 km/h).
