Changing the shift range
!
Observe the following maximum permissi-
ble speed when changing shift range from the
fast to the slow group.
When driving in the off-road gear of the trans-
fer case, do not exceed the maximum speed
of 20 km/h when changing gear. When driv-
ing in the road gear or when driving a vehicle
without a transfer case, maintain a vehicle
speed of less than approximately 25 km/h
when changing gear.
If you change from the high-range group to
the low-range group at high speed, the trans-
