Note that the vehicle's gradient-climbing
capability depends on the off-road conditions
and the road surface conditions.
Vehicles with the ON&OFFROAD package:
the maximum gradient climbing ability is
100% when the LOW RANGE off-road gear is
selected.
Vehicles without the ON&OFFROAD pack-
age: the maximum gradient climbing ability is
80%.
Accelerate carefully and make sure that the
wheels do not spin when driving on steep ter-
rain.
i
If the load on the front axle is reduced
when pulling away on a steep uphill slope,
the front wheels have a tendency to spin.
