Driving tips
Accelerator pedal position
Your style of driving influences how the
automatic transmission shifts gear:
Little throttle: early upshifts
More throttle: later upshifts
Kickdown
Use kickdown for maximum acceleration:
Depress the accelerator pedal beyond
the pressure point.
The automatic transmission shifts
down one gear, depending on the en-
gine speed.
Release the accelerator pedal as soon
as the desired speed has been
reached.
The automatic transmission shifts back
up.
Trailer towing
Run the engine at a moderate engine
speed on uphill gradients.
Depending upon the uphill or downhill
gradient, shift down to shift range 3
or 2 ( page 82).
Shift the transfer case to the LOW off-
road gear for extreme uphill or downhill
gradients ( page 84).
Transfer case
The vehicle has permanent all-wheel drive.
Both the front and rear axles are always
driven.
You will find information about off-road
driving in the "Operation" section
( page 149).
Shift ranges

Controls
Transmission
L LOW
Off-road position for off-road driv-
ing
Also use the off-road position on
steep uphill and downhill gradi-
ents, especially when towing a
trailer.
The drive power of the engine is
reduced by the transfer case.
The vehicle moves at approxi-
mately half the speed compared
to when the HIGH road position is
selected. The power output is
thereby increased accordingly.
N Neutral
Neutral position
No power is transmitted to the
wheels.
