Automatic transmission
i
The transmission shifts up, even if the
shift range has been restricted, if the
maximum engine speed for the shift
range is reached and you continue to
accelerate. The engine could otherwise
overrev.
!
If the transfer case is in the LOW off-
road position, the automatic transmis-
sion will not shift up automatically
when it reaches the engine speed limit
for that range. There is a danger of en-
gine damage.
It must be ensured that the permissible
engine speed is not exceeded.
