LOW
(L):
This position gives
you
even more power
(but lower fuel economy) than
SECOND
(2).
You
can use it
on
very steep hills, or in deep snow or
mud.
If the selector lever is put in
LOW,
the
transmission won’t shift into low gear until the
vehicle is going slowly enough.
NOTICE:
Don’t
shift
into
LOW
(L)
at
speeds
above
40
mph
(65
km/h)
with
the
transfer
case
in
FOUR-WHEEL
LOW
(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.
