Transmission control – LOW RANGE mode
The switch is located in the instrument panel.
Important!
When switching to or from the LOW RANGE mode,
observe the following:
• The vehicle must be at a complete standstill.
• The engine speed must not exceed 1500 rpm.
Failure to do so may result in transmission/engine
damage not covered by the Mercedes-Benz Limited
Warranty
The LOW RANGE mode should be switched on:
• during off-road driving,
• when crossing waters.
For additional practical hints refer to off-road driving
on page 183.
Switching on:
1. Stop the vehicle.
2. Move transmission selector lever to position “N”.
3. Push top end of switch. The LOW RANGE indicator
lamp in the instrument cluster blinks slowly during
the changeover.
Once the changeover is complete, the indicator lamp in
the instrument cluster lights up continuously.
Note:
If the indicator lamp blinks fast, one or more switching
conditions were not observed, or the LOW RANGE mode
is defective.
