page 170).

position D.

Warning!

Always wait until the procedure of shifting

from HIGH to LOW – and from LOW to HIGH

– has been entirely completed. During this

procedure do not:

switch off the engine

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

transfer case might be in neutral, thus inter-

rupting 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 172).

The shift procedure can only be performed

when:

the engine is running

the gear selector lever for the automatic
transmission is in neutral position N

the vehicle is not at standstill

the vehicle speed does not exceed 25 mph
(40 km/h)

If the shift procedure does not take place

press upper half (“LOW”) of the transfer case
switch once more.
