Features and Controls
L
(Low
Gear)
This position gives you even more power
(but lower fuel economy) than
“2.”
You
can use it on very steep hills, or
in
deep
snow
or
mud. If
the
selector lever is put
il
“L,”
the transmission won’t shift into
low
gear
until
the vehicle is going slowly
enough.
n
NOTICE:
Don’t shift into
“L,”
(Low) at speeds
above 40 mph
(65
km/h)
with
the
transfer case
in
“4L,” or you can
damage your transmission.
NOTICE:
If
your rear wheels can’t rotate, don’t
try
to drive. This might happen if you
were stuck in very deep sand or mud
or were up against
a
solid object.
You
could damage your transmission.
Also, if you stop when going uphill,
don’t hold your vehicle there
with
only the accelerator pedal. This could
overheat and damage the
transmission. Use your brakes to hold
your vehicle
in
position on a hill.
